When products go obsolete or otherwise become unavailable, it puts an immediate burden and strain on supply chains to come up with a reliable and effective replacement. In this case, we will discuss the following products:
- GS2100 carbon-filled cellular PTFE
- GS5200 nickel-filled cellular PTFE
- GS8000 nickel-plated foam layer
These suggested materials are widely available Parker Chomerics EMI shielding materials:
- CHO-SEAL® S6305
- CHO-SEAL 1350
- CHO-SEAL 6502
- CHO-SEAL 6503
- SOFT-SHIELD® 4850
CHO-SEAL electrically elastomers are available in various configurations; as sheets, extruded into lengths, or die cut into molded shapes. Also suggested as a replacement: SOFT-SHIELD® 4850 electrically conductive foam material is a z-axis, silver-plated fiber woven into foam that can be easily die cut into many shapes and sizes.
