The part number **200096** is most commonly associated with a specific electronic component produced by **Laird Performance Materials** (now part of DuPont). It is an **EcoFoam™ Conductive Foam** gasket used primarily for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding and grounding. --- ### Technical Specifications: Laird 200096 This component is an open-cell polyurethane foam wrapped in a conductive fabric. It is designed to provide both environmental sealing and electrical conductivity across an interface. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material Type** | Conductive Fabric over Foam (FoF) | | **Conductive Material** | Nickel/Copper (Ni/Cu) | | **Base Foam** | Open-cell Polyurethane | | **Flammability Rating** | UL 94 V0 (Flame Retardant) | | **Compression Set** | < 15% to 20% | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to 70°C | | **Shielding Effectiveness** | > 85 dB (from 10 MHz to 3 GHz) | --- ### Key Applications Part 200096 is utilized in high-frequency electronic environments where "noise" or interference must be contained or blocked. 1. **Chassis Grounding:** Providing a low-resistance path between a PCB and a metal enclosure. 2. **EMI Shielding:** Filling gaps in doors, panels, or covers of electronic racks to prevent signal leakage. 3. **Vibration Dampening:** Due to its foam core, it absorbs mechanical shock while maintaining electrical contact. 4. **I/O Backplates:** Used around ports (USB, HDMI, Ethernet) in servers and computers. --- ### Physical Variations While "200096" is the base series, the full part number usually includes suffixes that define the dimensions (Height x Width x Length) and the type of adhesive backing. * **Example format:** `200096-XXX` * **Adhesive:** Usually supplied with a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) on one side for easy peel-and-stick application. --- ### Alternative Identities In some niche sectors, "200096" may refer to: * **Avery Dennison:** Specific adhesive tapes or labels used in industrial electronics. * **Legacy Components:** Older PC99 or industrial controller sub-assemblies (often obsolete). *Note: If you are looking for a datasheet for a specific manufacturer other than Laird, please provide the brand name.*
