3G Shielding Specialties Introduces No-Charge EMI Shielding Cross-Reference Service
Oct 18, 2026
3G Shielding Specialties announced a no-charge engineering cross-reference service that matches competitor EMI gaskets, PCB shield cans, RF absorbers and thermal materials by specification, typically returning a matched equivalent the same business day with free 48-hour samples.
Oceanside, United States, October 18, 2026 -- 3G Shielding Specialties, a US manufacturer of EMI and RF shielding products since 1994, today announced a no-charge engineering cross-reference service that helps electronics teams find specification-matched equivalents for EMI gaskets, board-level shields, RF and microwave absorbers and thermal interface materials already designed into their products.
Design and procurement teams in aerospace, defense, medical, telecom and industrial electronics increasingly need a qualified second source for their shielding parts. Extended lead times, allocation on popular materials and discontinued product lines — such as the W.L. Gore GS2100, GS5200 and GS8000 conductive gasket materials — can leave a single gasket or shield can holding up an entire build. Switching suppliers has traditionally meant weeks of back-and-forth before a usable equivalent reaches the bench.
Under the new service, an engineer sends 3G the competitor part number, drawing or data sheet. 3G’s US-based applications engineers then match the part by specification rather than by trade name. For conductive elastomer gaskets that means the filler system, base polymer, durometer, profile and MIL-DTL-83528 type; for fabric-over-foam and wire-based gaskets, the construction, closure force and mating-surface compatibility; for PCB shield cans, the footprint, height, material, thickness and attachment method; and for absorbers, the frequency band and loss mechanism. A matched 3G equivalent is typically returned the same business day, and evaluation samples of standard materials ship free within 48 hours.
“Engineers don’t want a trade-name substitution that fails at the test lab — they want a part that drops into the design they already qualified,” said [Spokesperson Name], [Title] at 3G Shielding Specialties. “By matching on specification and putting a free sample on the bench in 48 hours, we can help a team add a qualified alternate in days instead of reopening an EMC test campaign.”
The service covers the main families of EMI shielding: conductive elastomer, fabric-over-foam, knitted wire, oriented wire, conductive foam and form-in-place gaskets under the WaveSeal line; one-piece, two-piece, off-the-shelf, multi-cavity and hybrid PCB shield cans under 3G MetalworX; Wavexorb cavity-resonance, narrowband, surface-wave and broadband absorbers; and Thermaworx thermal gap pads. To make the process transparent, 3G has published an EMI gasket cross-reference guide that maps widely used competitor product families — including those from Parker Chomerics, Laird, Tech-Etch, MAJR Products and W.L. Gore — to their 3G equivalents, together with new engineering guides to EMI shielding, RF shielding and PCB shield can selection.
Where a competitor part has no like-for-like 3G equivalent, the company’s engineers say so up front and recommend an engineering-reviewed alternative, so that buyers can make a decision with complete information.
Documentation support is part of the service. 3G Shielding Specialties is ITAR registered, JOSCAR registered and ISO 9001:2015 certified, and supplies certificates of conformance and material traceability on request to support customer requalification packages. Controlled drawings for defense programs are handled directly by its US-based team.
Engineers can submit a part number for cross-reference or request free samples at 3gshielding.com.

What Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige reveals about his cinematic obsession 20 years on
Before The Dark Knight made him a household name in 2008, Christopher Nolan crafted intricate thrillers such as Following (1998), Memento (2000) and Insomnia (2002). But 2006’s The Prestige, which turns 20 this month, is the most labyrinthine by far. Made just after Batman Begins (2005), but a far stranger and more personal proposition, it is set in 1890s London. Here, we are introduced to stage magicians Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), who risk their lives, and...
