Abstract: A strip gasket utilizing a low closure force on an enclosing face for shielding electromagnetic interference is disclosed. The strip gasket includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface provides a hollow cross section region. Bending moments are created on surface peripheries of the inner surface and the outer surface, or both, to provide a low closure force on an enclosing face. The bending moment results in an increased surface area of the strip gasket providing a low resistance. Cauchy's stress analysis reveals that a lower force is required to compress the strip gasket as compared to conventional strip gaskets.
