A junction can break continuity between two elements that have themselves been treated.
Treating a junction means maintaining electromagnetic continuity where two elements meet.
What determines the treatment
The key factor is overlap. A covering or a film maintains continuity by overlapping the adjacent surface. Where that overlap is not possible, continuity can be maintained by compression, using a gasket between the elements in contact.
This applies to gaps, junctions and closures: frames, enclosure doors and contact surfaces between shielded elements.
The gasket is available in standard formats. A custom configuration can be produced where the junction geometry requires a specific solution.
Product in this family
ISO J 213, adhesive RFID shielding gasket. Mechanical gasket wrapped in ISO 770 shielding fabric. The flexible core provides compression, while the fabric maintains electromagnetic continuity between the elements in contact: closures of read enclosures and cabinets, frames and door surrounds, junctions between two shielded surfaces, contact areas of a cover or a hatch.
Around the junction
A junction connects elements that belong to other families. Depending on what it joins: · the treated walls on either side: see Walls · an opening or a passageway that must remain usable: see Openings and passageways · a viewing area or glazing to be preserved: see Transparent surfaces · a read enclosure or cabinet where shielding continuity must be maintained at the closure: see Enclosures and read zones · the shielding fabric that wraps the gasket, available as a material: see Technical materials
