Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD® Fabric Over Foam EMI Shielding Gaskets are low-closure EMI shielding gaskets for indoor applications. The SOFT-SHIELD® family is available in two basic types of form factors: electrically conductive fabric jacketed over foam core construction, and true multi-planar, z-axis electrically conductive foam.
