This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is a Gasket?
A gasket is a sealing component used to fill the gap between two mating surfaces.
It is designed to prevent the leakage of air, liquids, or contaminants.
Gaskets are typically made from flexible materials that can conform to surface irregularities.
In connectors, gaskets help improve sealing performance and environmental protection.
Gaskets in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, gaskets are used to enhance environmental sealing and protect connectors from moisture and dust.
They are commonly found in bulkhead connectors and outdoor applications.
Proper gasket selection ensures reliable sealing without affecting connector performance.
They are important components in applications requiring weather resistance or high reliability.
