Waveguide sealing components
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.
Conductive O‑rings
Shown in several sizes. Match the ring cross-section and inside diameter to the approved flange groove.
Flat gasket is a different style
For a flange-face gasket rather than a groove-fitting O‑ring or D‑type seal, review the separate die‑cut gasket product.

Waveguide sizes, materials and flange compatibility
Match the gasket form and material to the flange groove, sealing function and operating environment.
- Flange Type
- MFO, MFD, MFOA (FBM/FBE, FDM, FAM/FAE)
- Waveguide Sizes
- WR650 to WR62 (custom sizes available)
- Material
- Conductive silicone rubber, Ordinary silicone rubber
- Flange Compatibility
- UG and CPR style flanges
- Customization
- Dimensions customizable per client requirements
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.
For the live order, match the drawing to the required flange style and the corresponding row in the model table below.

Dimensions and symbols are kept as printed on the current product page; “—” represents a blank source-table cell and should not be read as a confirmed incompatibility. 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.

Other parts around the same waveguide interface
These are separate products. They are included here because flange type, sealing style and the adjoining waveguide hardware are often checked together during an RFQ.
Technical documents
Use the PDF for reference, then confirm the exact model on the drawing.
Use the gasket sheet for size selection and the flange reference to identify the mating interface. The flat gasket sheet covers a separate seal style.
