Waveguide Gasket and O-Ring

Waveguide gaskets and O-rings seal matching flange joints. Compare conductive and non-conductive silicone options, D-type and O-ring forms, and model dimensions from WR650 to WR28. Provide the flange drawing, groove dimensions and pressure or RF sealing requirements for selection.

Waveguide Gasket and O‑Ring

Silicone gaskets and O‑rings for sealing waveguide flange joints. The published range includes conductive and non‑conductive options for PAR, PBR and CPR/PDR style interfaces, with listed models from WR650 down to WR28. Custom D‑type and O‑type dimensions can also be quoted against your flange drawing.

Start with the sealing job

Pressure seal only, or pressure and RF seal?

This is the first choice to make before matching a model. Then confirm the waveguide size, flange designation and the groove or sealing face that the gasket has to fit.

Pressure seal only

Non‑conductive gasket

The published selection guidance calls for a non‑conductive gasket when the joint only needs a pressure seal. Silicone or neoprene O‑rings and rectangular seals are used to fit the matching flange groove.

Pressure + RF seal

Conductive gasket

For a joint that also needs an electrical contact path, the published guidance points to conductive gasket material. Conductive elastomers may use metallic filler; the required material should be confirmed with the quoted configuration.

Do not select by WR size alone. The same waveguide size can use different flange faces and sealing arrangements. Send the complete flange designation or a dimensioned drawing when it is available. No pressure rating, insertion loss or shielding value should be assumed from the gasket type alone unless it is stated on the approved drawing or test requirement.

Product details in pictures

See the seal styles before you match the flange.

The photos below show the main forms discussed in the product and selection guidance. They are useful for identification, but the final size still comes from the model data or approved drawing.

For a flange-face gasket rather than a groove-fitting O‑ring or D‑type seal, review the separate die‑cut gasket product.

Availability depends on the flange and gasket form in each model row. Confirm the exact dimensions on the approved drawing.

Specify leak rate, pressure, temperature and any electrical-contact or outgassing requirement separately; material selection alone does not establish those acceptance limits.

Drawing example

WR284 shows why the seal form matters.

The selection article includes separate WR284 examples for a rectangular D‑type gasket and an O‑ring. These are identification examples, not substitutes for the production drawing.

The product-family PDF remains linked in every row. The web table and PDF can differ on individual dimensions, so the approved model drawing should control production dimensions.
