Conductive Textile’s role in Automotive Innovation!
Conductive Textile's role in Automotive Innovation! Automobiles are becoming increasingly dependent on electronic devices. Where you find electronic devices, you will often find conductive textiles. The initial role for conductive textiles in automobiles was shielding the radio from RFI, allowing the radios to play music clearly. Amazingly, one of the primary applications in the automotive industry is still electromagnetic interference (EMI) and Radio-frequency interference (RFI) shielding. Due to ever the ever-increasing number of electronic components in vehicles, ensuring smooth operation...

Pre-Compliance Testing in Electronics Development-Crucial!
Pre-Compliance Testing in Electronics Development-Crucial! In the fast-paced world of electronics, ensuring reliability and compatibility of components is paramount. This is where Pre-Compliance Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing comes into play. Pre-Compliance testing involves evaluating electronic components for potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) issues prior to undergoing formal/final EMC certification. Consider it a valuable checkpoint in the development process , saving time, costs, and enhancing the overall quality of the final product. Pre-Compliance Testing in Electronics Development-Crucial! During Pre-Compliance...

Quality Control and Testing-VTT Cares!
Quality Control and Testing-VTT Cares! When VTT receives a shipment of conductive textiles from a supplier, we sample it and test it before accepting it. Testing includes electrical conductivity and resistance, along with visual evaluation. Other tests may include Weight, Thickness, Hole Count, and Yarn Count. Our RF Shielded Enclosures are tested to assure that their Shielding Effectiveness (SE) lives up to the specifications that we promise. The same rigid Quality Control standards apply...

Highly Conductive Yarns-Revolutionizing Smart Clothing!
Highly Conductive Yarns-Revolutionizing Smart Clothing! Smart clothing represents the fusion of fashion and functionality. This trend is going forward using the development of highly conductive yarns and threads. Threads and yarns that include conductive metals are redefining how we can interact with our clothing. Metal wires were too subject to stress failures, not to mention that they were not comfortable in clothing. The marriage of technology and comfort of conductive textiles elevate the wearability of smart clothing. Sensors can be...

Smart Development includes Pre-Compliance Testing!
Smart Development includes Pre-Compliance Testing! During product development, it is smart to consider EMC Pre-Compliance Testing. Every electronic device must pass Final EMC Compliance Testing prior to going to market. Failure of this test means "back to the drawing board" for your product for "tweaking" prior to making it to the market. The quicker the Testing is successfully completed, the faster it can be marketed! Another great reason for testing early and often during development is that Pre-Compliance testing makes...
