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.
