Abstract
A fabric-over-foam (FOF) gasket assembly includes a foam core having a shaped suited for sealing a gap in a structure of the computing device. The foam core has a base surface and a sealing surface. The FOF gasket assembly further includes an electrically conductive fabric wrapped around the foam core, and a conductive adhesive attached to the base surface. The conductive adhesive includes a release coat layer for attaching the conductive adhesive to the base surface of the foam core, a carrier layer attached to the release coat layer, and a release paper layer removably attached to the carrier layer. The carrier layer includes a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer forming a structural base of the threads, an inner layer of a copper material, and an outer layer of a nickel material.
