Product Overview

2569 Conductive Silicone (Silver-Copper) — Technical Overview & FAQs

What is 2569?

2569 is a conductive silicone elastomer filled with silver-plated copper, designed for EMI/RFI shielding in high-performance enclosures. It meets MIL-DTL-83528 Type A and is listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL).

Where is 2569 typically used?

Military-grade enclosures and avionics
Radar and satellite communications systems
Connectors and chassis interface seals

What makes 2569 different?

Highest shielding effectiveness (>130 dB)
Excellent volume conductivity (≤ 0.006 Ω·cm)
QPL-approved reliability for critical defense applications

Is it compatible with aluminum housings?

Yes — silver-copper formulations minimize galvanic mismatch when properly sealed against corrosion.

Can it be provided in extruded or molded forms?

Yes — 2569 can be supplied as molded sheets, profiles, or custom gasket shapes.
