EMI shielding gasket construction

An EMI shielding gasket said gasket comprising:

• a resilient inner member having a first surface and a second surface opposite said first surface, each said first and said second surface extending along an x-axis and a y-axis disposed generally normal to said x-axis, and said first and as second surface defining a thickness dimension of said inner member therebetween which extends along a z-axis disposed generally normal to said x-axis and said y-axis, said inner member having a plurality of vias formed through the thickness dimension thereof;
• and
• an electrically-conductive member including:
• a first layer portion overlaying at least a part of said first surface and providing electrical conductivity thereacross in the direction of said x-axis and of said y-axis;
• a second layer portion overlaying at least a part of said second surface and providing electrical conductivity thereacross in the direction of said x-axis and of said y-axis;
• and
• one or more third portions each contained within a corresponding one of said vias and providing electrical conductivity between said first and said second layer portion in the direction of said z-axis,
• said gasket being compressible in the direction of the z-axis intermediate a first interface surface and a second interface surface for providing electric continuity therebetween.
