Abstract

An electromagnetic shielding gasket assembly includes a coil spring for blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves therepast, with the coil spring including a plurality of individual coils canted along a center line thereof. The plurality of individual coils are supported in an orientation for controlling the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the coil spring, and a formable conductive material, disposed on said plurality of individual coils, is provided for being formed by the plurality of coils upon loading thereof. The formed conductive material fills an aperture of the coil spring to further block the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
