Conductive O Rings

Multipurpose protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference with Conductive O Rings

M Barnwell Services stands as a prominent, independent manufacturer and stockist of Conductive O Rings. Our Conductive O Rings contain conductive particles that reduce electronic disruption from devices.

With electronic devices becoming increasingly integral to sectors like automotive, aerospace, and medical fields, the market for electromagnetic/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding is experiencing ongoing expansion.

We utilise compression molding and extrusion to create sections that are cut and vulcanised-joined. These versatile methods enable us to swiftly provide tailored solutions that match your needs.

Our skilled team aids in all production stages – from material and size decisions to prototyping, testing, and final manufacturing. M Barnwell Services and its manufacturing partners ensure batch traceability for diverse applications. Contact the team today.

Conductive O Ring

In addition to shielding against EMI and RFI, Conductive O Rings can be designed to be:

  • Weatherproof for rain and sleet protection.
  • Waterproof to endure pressure washing.
  • Submersible to prevent underwater entry.

Common Conductive O Ring materials consist of Conductive Silicone, Conductive Fluorosilicone, Conductive EPDM, Conductive Neoprene, Conductive Viton®, Conductive Nitrile, Conductive Carboxylated Nitrile, Conductive Hydrogenated Nitrile, Conductive Polyurethane, and O-rings encapsulated with Conductive PTFE or Teflon (FEP or PFA).

Conductive O Rings offer cost-effective sealing, suitable for diverse applications like jam nut seals, waveguide flange seals, and screw fixings. For larger diameters, they fit into grooves on enclosure sealing faces, which can follow intricate paths, even encircling fixing screws. These grooves serve as compression stops, enhancing shielding through metal contact. While O Ring seals achieve moisture and pressure sealing, they are best suited for static uses.

Applicable in:

  • Industrial controls.
  • Military gear.
  • Electronic enclosures.
  • Instruments.
  • Avionics.
  • Medical electronics.
