What are SMT EMI Gaskets
GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket actually is a type of EMI gasket that uses surface mount technology(SMT) to protect PCB boards from electromagnetic interference. It is a composite material combining PU sponge/silicone rubber with conductive PI film/metal coating. The SMT EMI gasket is used to reduce electromagnetic noise and protect your PCB circuit from power surges.
Benefits of SMT EMI Gasket
High Conductivity: GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket is made from highly conductive materials and can maintain high conductivity a low pressure. It can ensure grounding efficiently. The high conductivity can prevent electromagnetic radiation from escaping or getting into the key areas of electronic devices.
At the same time, it can protect your sensitive electronic components from the influence of harmful electromagnetic radiation. The conductive contact area of the SMT EMI gasket is large, yet it maintains a stable resistance. The resistance remains lower than 0.1Ω after installation and maintains its perfect electrical characteristics.
Flexible and Soft: GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket has an outstanding compression recovery rate. That is because of the special open-pore structure of. The open-pore design will not cause twist or tilt when compressed. The flexibility of the SMT EMI gasket effectively solves problems such as poor contact, uneven force, and conductive shielding layer rupture. The SMT EMI gasket is also soft and exhibits minimal surface friction. Which means it can not form pressure on your electronic devices. At the same time, the SMT EMI gasket will not harden or deform over time.
Various Size: The size of the GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket can vary. SMT EMI gaskets can be designed in either a hollow or solid type. The minimum thickness of the hollow type of SMT EMI gasket is 0.7mm, while the solid type can be made at only a 0.5mm SMT EMI gasket with a 1.0mm width.
You can thicken the conductive coating surface to improve the EMI shielding and grounding ability. Due to the special characteristics of the SMT EMI gasket, it is very suitable for use in compact electronic devices.
Efficiency Assembly: The assembly of the GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket is very effective. It uses an embossed tape packing method for installation. This method can quickly assemble 8-10 components in one second.
SMT EMI gaskets utilize reflow soldering to attach the pads to the ground wires of the circuit board, potentially requiring multiple reflow soldering processes. Which means electronic components can be reworked to assemble the SMT EMI gasket. The assembled SMT EMI gasket can achieve a low impedance effect, allowing it to transmit signals more efficiently.
If you are concerned about the welding strength of the SMT EMI gasket, that is not a significant issue. The welding strength of the SMT EMI gasket is very high, making it difficult for it to fall off the PCB board.
Low Cost: GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket can almost be said to be the most cost-effective solution for EMI gaskets. The special design lowered the technical requirements of conductive layers and silicone strips.
EIA standardized tape and reel packaging methods can achieve efficient production. With such an advantage, it also shortened the design cycle and saved the mold costs. If you have a limited budget, then the SMT EMI gasket is a good choice.
Safe: GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket has reached the environmental protection requirements of RoHS and REACH. There are no halogen elements or lead in the SMT EMI gasket. It is very safe to use. Additionally, the SMT EMI gasket exhibits flame retardancy and has achieved the UL94 V-1 level. It deeply reduced the risk of fire accidents.

Applications of SMT EMI Gasket
GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket can be used in every industry. It is no exaggeration to say there is no industry that does not need SMT EMI gaskets. Here are some typically used industries.
Consumer Electronics
Consumer electronics are a big market for GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket. All touchscreens in electronics require an SMT EMI gasket to enable the touch function. Typically used products include laptop computers, tablets, game consoles, and more.
Auto Field
The GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket holds a significant role in new energy vehicles. The silicone with silver copper coating can reach the IP67 protection standards of automotive electronic modules. Also, SMT EMI gaskets can be used in the assembly of car cameras.
Industrial Equipment
The GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket, which utilizes EPDM combined with a Ni-Cu coating, can be die-cut into a complex shape and used in the assembly of industrial sensors.
If you are involved in business sectors such as industrial automation, power generation, or manufacturing equipment, then the SMT EMI gasket is an efficient assembly option.
Medical Equipment
Many medical equipment are easily disturbed by EMI. GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket can be used in the MRI machine, pacemaker, defibrillator, and medical monitor. It can greatly reduce the effect of EMI and help the medical equipment operate stably.
Smart Home
Increasingly, smart home products are incorporating electrostatic touch input methods to enhance their smart features. GALLOP INNOTEK SMT EMI gasket plays an important role in this aspect.
The touch sensor gasket or touch switch gasket uses an SMT EMI gasket as a basic component in the assembly. Typically applicable products include LCD panels, electrical connections, and ground navigation.
In most cases, high-quality silicone-free thermal grease won’t corrode common metals like copper or aluminum, nor plastics such as PC or ABS. Because its base is usually mineral oil or synthetic esters and very stable.
However, you should still make sure to select a grade compatible with your materials, especially under extreme temperatures or prolonged contact, to avoid any unwanted chemical reactions.
Silicone-free thermal grease can replace silicone-based types, but it depends on your application. It works especially well with electronics that are sensitive to silicone. But in extreme temperatures, its performance might be slightly below some premium silicone-based products.
Therefore, when switching, you should choose the right type based on your device’s cooling needs and material compatibility to get the best results.
