Microbridge
®
is the ultimate construction design utilizing new technology which creates a microscopic conductive bridge through the body
of an elastomeric extruded gasket. The conductive element traces a path, by putting the conductor only where it is needed through the interior
of the silicone rubber core, yielding very significant cost- effective savings of the conductive material. This leaves the outside face of the
mounting surface side with as much adhesion-active area as possible and improved galvanic corrosion resistance with low compression/
deflection forces. Excellent for I/O backplanes and all general RFI/EMI shielding applications.
Available in most profiles in this catalog and many custom configurations. Be creative and utilize our design staff to help optimize your specific
application.
Standard tooled profiles are shown below; strips, D-bulbs and T-wiper styles. Custom layouts of the conductive traces and die-cutting are
easily arranged (see also custom die-cuts below).

The versatility of the new Microbridge
®
technology
permits an almost unlimited variety of custom
modifications. From a simple sheet or strip configuration,
die-cut conductive gaskets for I/O panels and similar
applications are quickly and easily manufactured. Hand
cut prototypes and short runs are practical with cost-
effective minimal tooling.

The strip configuration at left is a closed cell sponge core with
periodic vertical conductive silver traces which can be positioned at
various integrals along the strip width with an exposed conductive pad
on both top and bottom strip surfaces. Excellent for I/O panels with
die-cut openings (see custom die-cuts below).
The D-bulb configuration at left is a closed cell sponge core with an
interior vertical conductive silver silicone trace terminated at an
exterior conductive pad on both top and bottom surfaces.
The T-wiper configuration at left is a dense elastomer core with an
interior vertical conductive silver silicone trace terminated at an exterior
conductive pad on both top and bottom surfaces. The design maximizes
the active surface for pressure sensitive adhesive tape mounting.
