ABSTRACT:
According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of gaskets that can protect fingerprint readers from receiving electrostatic discharge surges when a user's finger is placed in contact with the electronic scanning portion of the fingerprint reader. In exemplary embodiments, a gasket can provide an electrically-insulative barrier between the exposed contact points on the sides of the fingerprint reader, the electrostatic discharge, and the electrically-conductive side of the gasket. The gasket can also include an electrically-conductive side that provides a relatively short path to ground for the electrostratic discharge.
