RBCD/RBCT Clip-On Fingerstock Gasket
The RBCD/RBCT Clip-On Fingerstock Gasket is a reverse bend EMI shielding gasket designed for reliable electrical grounding and EMI/RFI shielding. It is commonly used in electronic enclosures, shielded cabinets, circuit card assemblies, and access panels.
Manufactured from high-performance beryllium copper, this clip-on gasket provides excellent spring properties and long service life. In addition, it offers consistent electrical conductivity for demanding applications.
The reverse bend design improves contact performance while maintaining low compression force. As a result, the gasket delivers dependable shielding effectiveness over time. It also creates a continuous conductive path between mating metal surfaces. Therefore, it helps reduce electromagnetic interference and supports enclosure shielding integrity.
Available in both D-lance and T-lance configurations, RBCD/RBCT Clip-On Fingerstock Gaskets are well suited for edge-mount applications. These configurations provide secure retention and dependable electrical contact. Furthermore, the clip-on design allows quick installation and replacement without adhesives.
Because of their simple mounting method, these gaskets are ideal for applications that require regular access and maintenance. For example, they are commonly used in telecommunications equipment, industrial electronics, and control systems.
Leader Tech offers RBCD/RBCT Clip-On Fingerstock Gaskets in multiple plating options and lengths. As a result, engineers can select a configuration that meets specific performance requirements. Finally, these gaskets are widely used in aerospace, defense, medical equipment, and other high-reliability electronic applications.
