At CEP Technologies, we are a global source for miniature to small thin gauged progressive metal stampings, providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding solutions, electrical and automotive parts components, press fit pins, and more. EMI shielding protects electronic devices and equipment from signal disruption caused by external electromagnetic signals. EMI shielding…
These days when it seems everything has gone digital, it’s easy to forget about all the mechanical components that are critical to electronics and batteries, especially in cars and trucks. Industry leaders, governments, and citizens all want to reduce carbon emissions and rely less on fossil fuels. At the same time, semi-autonomous and “smart” vehicles…
Electromagnetic and Radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shield design is complex and multi-faceted, combining electrical and mechanical engineering concepts. In practice, shielding is very much an iterative process in which controlling one variable impacts another, leading to even more changes in the design. One aspect of shield design is knowing which external signals are most critical…
Electronic devices are everywhere these days – from your cell phone to your garage door opener, to the sensors on the security cameras at the grocery store. They’re controlled by internal circuit boards, which send and receive signals with instructions about what to do (i.e. display the phone’s home screen, send power to the garage…
Electronic devices and the circuit boards that control them are trending smaller and faster all the time. High-speed applications operate at increasing frequencies within the radio and microwave ranges of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The result is slick consumer and industrial electronics but the challenge for designers lies in controlling EM radiation emissions and the impact they can have on performance.
The rising popularity of semi-autonomous and “smart” vehicles means drastic changes to equipment and components in new cars. Here’s our take on the situation.
Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference have always been a concern with electronics, but with more devices in proximity to each other and more computing power housed in each, radiation and sensitivity to emissions are more critical than ever before.
