Abstract
A chassis discontinuity seal includes a gasket member comprising a compressible material with an interruption on its peripheral surface and a flexible sealing material spanning the interruption. The gasket member is placed on a first surface for sealing engagement with a mating closure surface. The compressible material has a first density and the interruption defines an elongated portion of the gasket having a second density, less than the first density. The gasket may be used in any shielding enclosure where it is desirable to reduce the compression force while maintaining high surface conductivity.
