RFI/EMI Shielding-Solid Metal or Metalized Textiles?
RFI/EMI Shielding-Solid Metal or Metalized Textiles? When it comes to RFI/EMI shielding, the decision between solid metal and metalized textiles hinges on various factors that cater to specific application needs. Solid metal sheets, like copper, aluminum, and stainless steel boast higher Shielding Effectiveness (SE). This makes them ideal in applications where comprehensive electromagnetic interference (EMI) is crucial. Their rigid composition also provides structural support, suitable for aerospace and military contexts which require durability. RFI/EMI Shielding-Solid Metal or Metalized Textiles? On the...

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Beneficial!
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Beneficial! This preliminary testing offers many benefits that save time and money in getting a product to the market efficiently. Firstly, it allows you to spot potential EMC issues during the design process. This allows you to make adjustments which can eliminate costly redesigns late in the manufacturing process. These adjustments ultimately save the time and money it takes to "backtrack" to find the issues after the product is nearly complete. Streamlining product development time...
