Soft and Highly Conductive
Summary
GORE-SHIELD
®
GS8000 EMI Gaskets are ideal for applications that
require conformability, excellent cavity-to-cavity EMI shielding, and
superior conductivity at low compressive forces.
GORE-SHIELD
®
GS8000 EMI Gaskets are supplied as precision die-cut
parts on rolls for high-volume assembly. This material is ideal for
the cellular phone, PDA, and mobile electronics markets.
GORE-SHIELD
®
GS8000 EMI Gasket consists of a nickel-plated
conductive polyurethane foam, a conductive pressure sensitive
adhesive, a copper foil, another conductive pressure sensitive
layer, and a PET carrier film (see Figure 1).
Features and Benefits
• Low DC resistance and high shielding effectiveness
• Excellent reliability through Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)
• Conformable and highly compressible with low force
• Increases functional space by reducing fixing points
• Minimizes stress on housing and circuit boards

Design Considerations
When optimizing a gasket shielding solution, consider the housing
design as well as the EMI gasket performance.
Important considerations in the housing design include flatness,
material type, rigidity, contact area, tolerance take-up, conductivity,
fastener type, and fastener locations.
Key factors in an EMI gasket include softness, tolerance take-up,
conductivity (DC resistance), and shielding effectiveness both
before and after Accelerated Life Testing (ALT).
Gore application engineers can provide expert design assistance
and rapid prototyping for your EMI shielding solution needs. Please
contact Gore for additional information.

GS8000 EMI Gaskets have excellent, consistent electrical
performance because of softness and the ability to take up tolerances.
All 2mm2 pads measure

ohms.
Form-in-place silicone elastomer gaskets do not conduct at increased
distance from compressive screws/clips. Open circuits form on pads far from
compressive screws.
