Because all electronics release radiation, EMI shielding is a crucial element in the design and manufacture of all military defense systems. That’s especially true for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones, which rely on their ability to communicate seamlessly with systems on the ground. We’re going to take a look at why EMI shielding is […]
As technology continues to evolve and integrate into our aerospace and military systems, EMI shielding has grown to be a critical consideration to protect the longevity of electronic devices and surrounding systems. Engineers have had to modernize their approach to designing electronics, accounting for countless sources of radiation to prevent system failure, data breaches and […]
A Guide to Conductive Elastomers for EMI Shielding Conductive elastomers are essential materials used in electronic manufacturing to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) within and surrounding an electronic device. These elastomeric polymers reside within EMI shielding gaskets and are made in a variety of materials, each of which has unique properties and characteristics. Conductive EMI gaskets […]
Here are the 7 types of thermal interface materials: Thermal gap fillers Phase-change thermal gap filler pads Thermally conductive attachment tape Cure-in-place potting and underfill materials Thermally conductive electrical insulator pads Thin heat spreaders Thermal greases Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are critical to maintaining the safety and functionality of heat-generating components within an electronic device. […]
What are Conductive Elastomer Gaskets? Conductive elastomers easily fill gaps between mating surfaces while blocking environmental challenges such as moisture, dust, chemical exposure, temperature, and more. In doing so, EMI is shielded effectively and the shielding itself is protected from outlying factors, strengthening the device performance, quality, and over a lifetime. What was once a […]
