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...

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 to all the products we manufacture...

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...

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...
