Richardson Electronics Adds Product Line from W. L. GORE(TM) & Associates

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ:RELL), today announced the addition of an innovative product line from W. L. Gore & Associates. Richardson will now sell Gores high-tech line of surface mountable EMI shielding materials including GORE-SHIELD® Supersoft SMT EMI Gaskets and Grounding Pads, and the new GORE snapSHOT® Board-Level EMI Shield.

These products allow Richardson to enhance our value-added position with our OEM design clients. As RF engineers continue to design for higher and higher circuit densities, we will provide innovative shielding solutions such as Gores new surface mountable EMI shielding system. This provides designers with the flexibility to design complex RF circuits without being limited by yesterdays bulky, standardized shielding and grounding materials, says Kevin McCormack, Vice President of RF Interconnect and Passive Products for Richardsons RF, Wireless & Power Division.

Gore is the global leader in the design and manufacture of flexible RF shielding solutions for todays smaller, more complex RF circuit designs. Gore EMI gasket materials allow OEM designers to use their existing surface mount manufacturing machines to pick and place the gasket or grounding pad that best fits their custom application, says Michael Sobota, Product Specialist for SMT from Gore. The combination of our innovative shielding products with Richardsons service, support, and delivery capabilities provides our mutual clients with an initial time-to-market advantage for new designs and subsequently a cost-saving, rapid delivery supply chain solution once the design becomes a high-runner in the factory.

Richardson Electronics and W. L. Gore & Associates are now celebrating over 15 years together in a distribution relationship. Richardson began distributing Gore electronic products during the fall of 1993.

To support customers evaluation and design-in of Gores EMI shielding products, Richardson stocks the entire product line as well as the GORE-SHIELD® SMT EMI Gaskets and Grounding Pad sample kit which include samples, instructions and detailed specifications.
