Electrical Enclosure Gaskets
Custom gaskets protect electrical enclosures against moisture, dust and interference
Enclosure gaskets guard electrical devices and connections to improve safety and minimize damage and downtime
Gaskets can protect electrical devices and connections against ingress and interference from air, water, dust, light and electromagnetic sources. Our silicone rubber gasket materials and adhesive tapes protect users and devices alike.
We make gaskets for every part of electrical enclosures — access panels, front panels, enclosure doors, plates and connectors — and we can help you meet NEMA, IP and UL 50 requirements.
Benefits
Gaskets and seals can be fabricated for resistance to electrical interference, outdoor elements and temperature extremes to meet your requirements and industry regulations. Our technical team can help you select the best materials for extreme temperatures and resistance to wear, vibration, shock, chemicals, UV/ozone, flame and more. The right gasket can help you:
Eliminate potential maintenance and replacement gasket costs
Maintain enclosure standards and ratings (NEMA, UL, IP, IEC and CSA)
Preserve electrical components within the enclosure
Prevent indirect damage to the systems controlled by damaged components
Maintain the reputation of the enclosure manufacturer

Design
As you develop products that include electrical enclosures, ask these questions about sealing.
Gasket function
Do you need the gasket to seal out liquids, solids or air, mitigate shock or vibration, block EMI or RFI?
Gasket size
Are there limitations on gasket format (die cut vs. stripping)?
Gap spacing
What is the thickness range of the gap?
Temperature
What high and low temperatures will the material reach and for how long?
UV/Ozone resistance
Will the material be directly exposed to the elements?
Flame rating
Does your application include requirements like UL-V0, UL-HBF or FMVSS-302?
Chemical resistance
Will the material be in contact with chemicals or fluids?
Outgassing
Could material outgassing be detrimental to components?
Color
Will a particular color improve ease of assembly or help with future inspections?
Cost and performance
Does your application require a premium product?How can we help?
