Metal Frames

​

Metal Frames are a fabricated EMI aluminum frame gaskets. Metal Mount Frames have a mesh and or elastomer gasket secured into the groove or outside edge of the extrusion. Wire-Knit Gaskets are supplied in standard wire alloys in several configurations and size to meet specific shielding requirements. Elastomer core gaskets may be applied for environmental pressure sealing. Metal Frames are fabricated with specific hole size, location, slots and countersinks for alignment. Ready-to-mount frames are attached to other surfaces using rivets, fasteners or spot welded in place. Frames are supplied unfinished or Chromate Coated per MIL-DTL-5541 Class 1or 3 to enhance shielding performance and corrosion resistance. Metal Frames are fabricated to customer drawings.
