MOUNTING METHODS

1.10

www.lairdtech.com

Laird Technologies shielding devices may be mounted quickly and easily

using any of several different methods. Each installation method is described

in the text that follows. However, if you should run into a unique situation

not resolved by any of these methods, give us a call. More than likely we

can provide the exact answer you need.

RIVET MOUNT

Riveting produces a tight, long-lasting installation. Either plastic or metal rivets

may be used.

SLOT MOUNT

Slot mounted parts are easily installed using slots where bi-directional movement

is required. Simply install part into one slot and snap it into the second slot

or over the edge of the frame.

ADHESIVE MOUNTING

Sticky Fingers

® is an instant, pressure-sensitive adhesive bonding system,

ideal for all-purpose contact strips for metal cabinets and electronic enclosures,

and is unaffected by temperatures from -67 to +250°F (-55 to +121°C).

Simply follow these four easy steps:

1.Remove all grease and oily residue with solvent. Smooth the mounting

surface with emery cloth.

2.Peel off protective paper backing.

3.Place gasket in correct position. (See mounting methods diagrams A through E.)

Press firmly to ensure a good adhesive bond. Avoid repositioning, which might

impair the effectiveness of the adhesive or may bend or kink the strip.

NOTE: On items where fingers cover the solid portion of the gasket, pressure

may be applied by inserting a mandrel in the strip and pressing down. For

contact strips with Magnefil

® insert, simply press down on the fingers.

4.Allow 24 hours minimum curing time.

Standard parts are supplied with nonconductive tape. For rough surface

applications, such as flame-sprayed surfaces, 0.010 in. (0.254 mm) thick

nonconductive tape is recommended. Optional conductive tape is also

available. Contact a sales department representative for additional

ordering information.

CLIP-ON MOUNTING

Clip-on gaskets hold firmly in place due to their own spring characteristics.

Simply push the strips onto the edge or flange of the door or enclosure.

Also available are clip-on gaskets with either “T” or “D” lances.

TAPE TRACK MOUNTING

Stainless Steel mounting track with PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) is

available on the Symmetrical Slotted Series and Slot Mount Series.

WELDING

Welded mounting requires simple, traditional welding techniques.

SOLDERING

Solder mounting requires normal low temperature soldering techniques,

including cleaning and fluxing of parts with common copper flux materials.

SLOT MOUNT

^ Shielding gaskets may be mounted for either wiping or

compression closing applications. Proper positioning of the

shielding gasket must take into consideration the closing

design and the configuration of the mounting surface.
