SCHROFF EMV gasket 24560235 stainless steel for front panel, rear wall and module rail

EMV gasket SCHROFF 24560235 is a stainless steel sealing component engineered to provide reliable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) grounding and shielding at joints between front panels, rear walls and module rails in rack-mounted enclosures and electronic assemblies. The gasket is intended to maintain conductive contact across panel interfaces and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) leakage in industrial, telecommunications and data-centre equipment.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers durable mechanical strength and corrosion resistance while preserving electrical conductivity for effective shielding. Its form factor is designed to fit common panel and rail interfaces, ensuring consistent grounding at connection points. The gasket contributes to a uniform conductive path that helps lower EMI emissions and improves the overall electromagnetic performance of the enclosure without introducing significant bulk or requiring major case modifications.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted enclosures and cabinets requiring enhanced EMC/EMI protection
• Front panel to chassis or rear wall to module rail interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems and data-centre racks
• Retrofit projects where improved panel-to-panel conductivity is needed

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel for electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Application area: sealing and conductive contact at panel, wall and rail joins
• Function: provides EMC grounding and EMI shielding across interfaces
• Mechanical properties: resilient profile designed for repeated mating cycles
• Installation: suited for mounting on front panels, rear walls and module rails in rack systems

How to use

Align the gasket along the mating edge of the front panel, rear wall or module rail so that the conductive surface makes firm contact with both joined parts. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of paint, oxidation or debris to maximize electrical contact. Press or fasten the panels together according to the enclosure design so the gasket is compressed to provide continuous conductive contact along the joint. Confirm grounding continuity after assembly using appropriate test equipment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, inspect mating surfaces before installation, avoid insulating coatings at contact points, and use compatible fastening methods that apply even compression along the gasket. Periodic checks of electrical continuity and visual inspection for corrosion or mechanical damage will help maintain long-term shielding effectiveness.
