This article from SSP provides an overview of EMI/RFI. It also includes some examples of what can go […]
How EMI Gasket Manufacturers Differ
EMI gasket manufacturers can fabricate a range of products from electrically conductive silicones. That’s important since different challenges with environmental sealing and EMI shielding require different solutions. For example, industrial robots require molded or bonded EMI O-rings that fit into a groove. Enclosures may require flat EMI gaskets that are die-cut or flash-cut instead. There […]
