Finger strip (Finger stock) gaskets

Design considerations and features

Finger strip sections are generally only suitable for indoor or controlled environments unless used inboard of suitable environmental protection.

As most sections are rivet mount or ‘clip on’ they lend themselves to efficient assembly on most sheet metalwork enclosures

They offer potentially very high shielding performance particularly if used in knife edge / channel configuration

Ideally suited for application where covers, doors etc are repeatedly opened and closed, particularly if there is a shearing or wiping action applied. This effect is useful as it ensures that contact faces are maintained in a clean condition

Sections exhibit excellent recovery – very low compression set

Be careful not to mount finger some strip sections in locations where it might be vulnerable to damage. For example, surface mounted fingers can be ‘snagged’ by clothing in doorways or access hatches

Applications

Typically used on 19” rack assemblies, communications cabinets, high performance screened enclosures

Single fingers or strip sections can be used for grounding or connection points
