| 1. A wireless terminal, comprising:
a first member;
a second member overlying the first member, wherein at least one of the first and second members is configured to slide between
open and closed configurations; and
a gasket attached to the first and second members, the gasket having an elongate body portion with opposing first and second
end portions affixed to a respective one of the first and second members, wherein the gasket is configured to provide an electrical
path between at least one component in the first member to at least one component in the second member, and wherein the elongate
body portion is configured to snugly abut the first and second members to inhibit dust from entering a target interior space
when the wireless terminal is in the open configuration.
