Study of EMI/RFI Seals on Shielded-Enclosure Personnel Access Doors

Abstract

This study investigated the relative shielding capabilities of three EMI/RFI door seal designs: the double-mesh gasket, the wiping compression contact fingerstock gasket, and the recessed fingerstock contact (knife edge). The effects of aging and wear on the doors when no maintenance was applied and the effectiveness of the manufacturers' recommended maintenance procedures were investigated. The effects of electroplating tin on door seal contacts were also determined.
