Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the management of electromagnetic interference (EMI) between different electronic devices. EMC ensures that electronic devices operate correctly without causing or suffering from disturbances. It can reduce unwanted...

Soft SMD contact pads and Spring finger contacts SMD have a common goal: to facilitate electrical connections on printed circuit boards. However, their applications can differ. Soft SMD contact pads are used more generally for all kinds of electrical connections on...

Why use an EMI and/or IP gasket in an electrical assembly? The primary aim is to ensure a seal against :- To particles (dust)- And/or fluids (air, water)- And/or electronics (grounding) in the case of EMI (electromagnetic compatibility) shielding joints.‍This water...

What is a Spring Finger Contact? A spring finger contact (SMT) is a small mechanical part used to make connection or grounding on electronic projects. These SMT contacts are made to support harsh environment (humidity, temperature, and vibrations). Spring finger...

How to make a transparent, conductive surface for EMI & RF shielding applications? EMI shielding film for EMI/RF window is a transparent EMI shielding film, photo-etched from a copper sheet. This EMI shielding film is laminated to make EMI shielding windows. We...

An EMI shielding cap creates a Faraday cage around the component that emits parasitic frequencies. PCB covers for EMI shielding are very well known. However, there are some specific features to bear in mind when choosing the part and the technology. Composition of the...
