<p>An electromagnetic shielding and environmental sealing device (10) includes an elastomer strip (14) that is attached to a metal strip (12). The metal strip includes a base member (16) and a plurality of fingers (18) that extend from one edge of the base member at an angle. The elastomer strip (14) includes a base portion (38), an extension portion (40) that is attached to one edge of the base portion and extends at an angle with respect to the base portion and a sealing portion (42) that is attached to the opposite edge of the base portion (38). The base member of the metal strip (12) has a plurality of cut-out areas (28) positioned therein that define contact tabs. The contact tabs (30) are capable of deflecting out of the plane defined by immediately adjoining areas of the base member when a force is applied to the device. In that way, proper electrical contact is maintained with respect to the device and the surface to which it is attached.</p> |
