Conductive Velcro-Static Management and Switches!

Conductive Velcro-Static Management and Switches!   When it comes to how we manage static electricity and create reliable switches, conductive Velcro is a true gem!  Conductive Velcro is a specialized form of traditional hook and loop and has conductive properties that make it a game-changer in several industries.  We'll lead off with its two remarkable applications:  static management and switches.

Static Management

Static electricity may seem harmless, but in sensitive environments like electronic manufacturing and cleanrooms, it can wreak havoc.  Enter conductive Velcro,...
Soft-Sided RF Shielded Enclosures-Versatile Testing Enviroments!

RF Shielded Enclosures-Choose your Series!

RF Shielded Enclosures-Choose your Series!  Companies need RF Shielded Enclosures to check their electronic products for RFI and EMI emissions.  They also need to test their device for susceptibility to emissions, and immunity to various electromagnetic "phenomena".  RF Shielded Enclosures can provide the ideal electromagnetic environment for all of these tests.  The testing requirements vary depending on the type of device being tested.  V Technical Textiles provides four different Floor series of RF Shielded Enclosures. The enclosures...

Advancing Aerospace Shielding using Conductive Textiles!

Advancing Aerospace Shielding using Conductive Textiles! The aerospace industry requires reliable Shielding Solutions to protect electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD).  Conductive metalized textiles have emerged as a very promising option for Aerospace shielding.   Conductive textiles have revolutionized aerospace shielding by providing effective EMI shielding and ESD protection.  These textiles are specifically designed to prevent the penetration of electromagnetic waves, safeguarding critical onboard electronics and communications systems.  By effectively blocking unwanted electromagnetic radiation, these textiles ensure...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-many Benefits!

VTT Helps during “Testing Times”!

VTT Helps during "Testing Times"!  We all go through "Testing Times" in our lives.  In the electronic business, we think of product development as a very important "testing time".  New electronic devices must undergo and pass Final Compliance Testing prior to marketing.  VTT believes that the most important testing is Pre-Compliance EMC Testing.  Performing EMC testing early and often during development allows you the luxury of building EMC into your device during a step-by-step development process.  Correcting EMC issues during...
RFI/EMI Shielding Materials-Benefits and Drawbacks!

RF Shielding-Valuable in Electronics!

RF Shielding-Valuable in Electronics!  We all know that all electronic devices must pass EMC compliance testing prior to marketing.  Without RF Shielding, EMC would be impossible to achieve!  Shielding protects electronic devices from RFI and EMI emissions that would make optimal performance impossible.  Shielding is valuable in several ways, firstly, by blocking emissions that will adversely affect the operation of nearby devices, increasing the overall operation of the component.  Secondly, shielding materials block emissions from other nearby devices that will...
The Remarkable Evolution of EMC!

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!

RF Shielding creates Device Compatibility!  Everyone knows some people who are very talented at what they do, but they can't work together!  The mere presence of the two of them in the same room ruins the work environment. The same thing is true of electronic components, electronic devices do jobs well.  When the components have to work in a shared electromagnetic environment, they have to be compatible.  With people, it's their personalities that can make them incompatible, unable to work...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing Results in Robust Products!

EMC Compliance Testing-what’s the Point?

EMC Compliance Testing-what's the Point?  Every electronic device must pass EMC Compliance Testing to make it to the market!  The reason for this requirement is to lessen the amount of RFI/ EMI in our environment.  More importantly, it is to lessen the RFI and EMI in our environment that adversely affects the function of other devices present in the shared electromagnetic environment.  All electronic devices emit RFI/EMI.  In general, electromagnetic interference doesn't cause a decrease in function of the devices...
Conductive Metalized Textiles-Great Shielding!

Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!

Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles!  The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied.  Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment.  All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation.  Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly.  RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device.  Engineers love the flexibility of...
Pre-Compliance EMC Testing- Beneficial!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!

Pre-Compliance EMC Testing-Smart Preparation!  There are many important tests in life!  Smart preparation makes tests easier to pass!  If you are developing new electronic products for the market, you know that passing a Final EMC Compliance Test is necessary to market your product.  Final Compliance Certification means that your product will fit in smoothly with the shared electromagnetic environment that it will function in.  The best way to prepare your device for the Final EMC Compliance test is to perform...
