Ideal for general shielding applications where mounting space is at a premium, Clip-On Twist
Series strips combine the performance advantages of scientic twist design with the strength
of clip-on mounting.
Clip-On Twist Series gaskets are offered in four different widths, each available in either
equal leg or offset leg congurations. In addition, each offset leg conguration is available
with Poron
®
rubber environmental gaskets for dust and moisture resistance, as well as with
“D” lances that snap into 0.100 in. (2.540 mm) diameter holes to provide added mounted
strength.
This series offers shielding effectiveness > 115 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave and is provided
in standard 16.000 in. (406.400 mm) lengths. All are available in your choice of nishes, see
page 17.
These 97-Series products are also available in UltraSoft
®
low compression force 98-Series.

FLEXIBLE LOW COMPRESSION SERIES
CLIP-ON TWIST SERIES
Series 97-941/921 are low compression, exible beryllium copper contact strips for
applications where a continuous shield must conform to irregular shapes and turn tight
radius corners in either direction.
Simple snap-in installation is possible for Series 97-921 with 0.250 in. (6.350 mm)
slots and 97-941 with 0.190 in. (4.826 mm) slots. However, soft solder or conductive
adhesive can be used for mounting to at surfaces.
Shielding effectiveness is >115 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave.
Available in standard 24.000 in. (609.600 mm) lengths in all standard nishes,
see page 17.
All dimensions shown are in inches (millimeters) unless otherwise specified.
This version of Sticky Fingers
®
beryllium copper shielding gaskets features a
special U-shaped end that permits the finger of the strip to slide when enclosure
doors are closed. It also retains the strip’s fingers when enclosure doors are
open, thus preventing accidental damage to the fingers. Shielding effectiveness
is >115 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave.
Four models provide you a choice of widths to suit your application. They are
available in standard 16.000 in. (406.400 mm) lengths, except 97-515 which
is furnished in 24.000 in. (609.600 mm) lengths. Also, all styles are available in
continuous 25.0 ft. (7.6 m) coils, and in your choice of all finishes except tin
lead and satin tin, see page 1-11. For load/deflection data, see page 2-33.
These 97-Series products are also available in UltraSoft

This version of Sticky Fingers
®
beryllium copper shielding gaskets features a
special U-shaped end that permits the finger of the strip to slide when enclosure
doors are closed. It also retains the strip’s fingers when enclosure doors are
open, thus preventing accidental damage to the fingers. Shielding effectiveness
is >115 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave.
Four models provide you a choice of widths to suit your application. They are
available in standard 16.000 in. (406.400 mm) lengths, except 97-515 which
is furnished in 24.000 in. (609.600 mm) lengths. Also, all styles are available in
continuous 25.0 ft. (7.6 m) coils, and in your choice of all finishes except tin
lead and satin tin, see page 1-11. For load/deflection data, see page 2-33.
These 97-Series products are also available in UltraSoft

Patent No. 4,572,921
Series 97-941/921 are low compression, flexible beryllium copper contact
strips for applications where a continuous shield must conform to irregular
shapes and turn tight radius corners in either direction.
Simple snap-in installation is possible for Series 97-921 with 0.250 in. (6.350
mm)
slots and 97-941 with 0.190 in. (4.826 mm) slots. However, soft solder or
conductive
adhesive can be used for mounting to flat surfaces.
Shielding effectiveness is >115 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave.
Available in standard 24.000 in. (609.600 mm) lengths in all standard finishes,
see page 1-11. For load/deflection data, see page 2-33.

Laird Technologies introduces the Card Guide Clip-On, which offers excellent
grounding contact from the PC board to a card guide on a rack. The unique
snap-in feature of the contact finger prevents any potential snagging. This
allows for bi-directional sliding contact. The Card Guide Clip-On gasket installs
to the edge of the board and makes contact with ground trace on the card.
The card then slides into the card guide on the rack. Low compression forces
allow for easy installation of the card.
• Easily installs onto PC board
• Provides for bi-directional wiping that eliminates snagging
• Ideal, inexpensive solution for grounding applications
• High-performance beryllium copper can be plated with a wide
variety of finishes for galvanic compatibility, see page 1-11
• Designed for board thicknesses of 0.085 in. to 0.100 in.
(2.159 mm to 2.540 mm)
• Design capabilities available to handle other board thicknesses and custom
applications
• 97-983 is available with “D” Lance option

TWIST SERIES
Adhesive-mounted beryllium copper contact strips with
scientic twist design offer narrow electronic gaskets for
general shielding applications.
Different widths are available to suit your specic
application for single edge contact strips. Also available
are two 90 degree versions (Series 97-551 and 97-558)
to provide alternate mounting capability. Series 97-555,
97-558 and 97-559 provide shielding effectiveness > 100
dB for a 100 MHz plane wave, ideal for all types of panel
or electronic enclosures. Series 97-550, 97-551 and 97-560
provide shielding effectiveness > 115 dB for a 100 MHz
plane wave. Series 97-560 strips are especially suitable for cabinets with panel divider bars. Their unique double-edge design permits panels to be removed
easily and replaced without damage to the installed strip.
All Twist Series strips are furnished in 24.000 in. (609.600 mm) lengths. Strips (except 97-551 and 97-558) are also available in standard 25.0 ft. (7.6 m)
coils. Right angle product congurations are not available in coils. All are available in your choice of nishes, see page 17.
COMBINATION ENVIRONMENTAL RUBBER GASKET
Series 97-556 and 97-561 are versions of 97-555 and 97-560, respectively, incorporating a Poron
®
rubber gasket to act as an environmental shield,
offering a high degree of protection against dust and moisture. All are available in your choice of nishes, see page 17.
These 97-Series products are also available in UltraSoft
®
low compression force 98-Series.

TWIST SERIES
Adhesive-mounted beryllium copper contact strips
with scientific twist design offer narrow electronic
gaskets for general shielding applications.
Different widths are available to suit your specific
application for single edge contact strips. Also available
are two 90 degree versions (Series 97-551 and 97-558)
to provide alternate mounting capability. Series 97-555, 97-558 and 97-559
provide shielding effectiveness > 100 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave, ideal
for all types of panel or electronic enclosures. Series 97-550, 97-551 and
97-560 provide shielding effectiveness > 115 dB for a 100 MHz plane wave.
Series 97-560 strips are especially suitable for cabinets with panel divider
bars. Their unique double-edge design permits panels to be removed easily
and replaced without damage to the installed strip.
All Twist Series strips are furnished in 24.000 in. (609.600 mm) lengths.
Strips (except 97-551 and 97-558) are also available in standard 25.0 ft.
(7.6 m) coils. Right angle product configurations are not available in coils.
All are available in your choice of finishes, see page 1-11. For load/deflection
data, see page 2-33.
