The Hidden Impact of Material Selection on EMI/RFI Performance

Material compatibility plays a much larger role in EMI/RFI shielding performance than many designs initially account for. In our latest article, we explore how dissimilar metals, surface finishes, thermal expansion differences, and environmental exposure can gradually compromise shielding continuity over time.

From galvanic corrosion to conductive gasket pairing, maintaining long-term EMI/RFI reliability often depends on how well materials work together under real-world operating conditions.

Learn how engineers evaluate these compatibility challenges and how proper material selection helps support lasting shielding performance…Read More

 

 

Maintaining Continuity Across Enclosure Seams

Even small interruptions along enclosure seams can create EMI/RFI leakage paths that weaken shielding effectiveness. In this article, we examine the engineering challenges involved in maintaining electrical continuity across enclosure openings, access panels, and removable covers. Learn how conductive gaskets, compression consistency, grounding integrity, and enclosure design all contribute to reliable long-term shielding performance in demanding electronic environments…Read More
