Electrical stability during vibration and electromagnetic pulse survivability of silver-plated glass bead filled EMI shielding gaskets

Commercial sources of conductive silicone gaskets for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding filled with silver-plated glass microspheres were highly stable under conditions of severe vibration and intense simulated electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The results are in contrast to data published by C.H. Kuist (1977) and may demonstrate a considerable advancement in EMI gasket and conductive filler manufacturing technologies. The data showed there is no longer reason for concern over vibration and EMP stabilities of silver-glass gaskets.<
