CEP Technologies Corporation is a global source for precision metal stamping services. We provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding solutions, electrical and automotive components, press fit pins, and more.
EMI shielding protects electronic devices and equipment from signal disruption caused by external electromagnetic signals. It can also act as a barrier so the signal produced by a given product doesn’t interfere with surrounding components. RFI shielding is a type of EMI shielding against interference from radio frequencies, including signals from radio transmitters, Wi-Fi and cellphones.
Why Use EMI/RFI Shielding for EV and Hybrid Vehicles
Vehicles are at risk of RFI and EMI interference due to the number of electronic elements they contain. These electronic devices include sensors that ale
rt airbags to inflate, global positioning systems with instructions and computer diagnostics that notify users of low fuel levels and engine issues.
EV and hybrid vehicles are also very susceptible to RFI and EMI interference due to the large number of advanced electronic and electrical systems that are crucial to their operation. RFI/EMI interference in electric and hybrid vehicles can affect:
- Navigation and communication systems
- Driver assistance systems
- Security systems
- Dashboard sensors
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
- Audio systems
The conductive and radiated emissions from various electrical systems contained in these vehicles can disrupt circuits and lead to issues ranging from minor inconveniences to dangerous loss of vehicle functions. With the rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, the need for automotive shielding is also growing.
Proper RFI and EMI shielding techniques should be included in the designs of EV and hybrid vehicles to ensure overall safety and performance. By implementing the necessary EMI/RFI shielding techniques during production, you can safeguard various systems and electronic components within the vehicle.
Choosing the Right EMI/RFI Shielding Techniques
When choosing the right EMI/RFI shielding techniques, it’s important to consider when and how to implement them into the design. Automotive manufacturers should prioritize EV EMI shielding at the beginning of the design process, particularly when designing the electronic components themselves. Doing so prevents discovering EMI/RFI problems on the assembly line, where shielding solutions can take up extra space and become far more expensive.
One method of electric vehicle EMI shielding is by developing protective enclosures for the vehicle’s circuits and cables, which can significantly reduce interference from mutual and outside signals. Additionally, automotive EMI shielding techniques should be intended to fit tight tolerances while still being repeatable and scalable to meet long-term needs. Trusted manufacturers can turn to chemical etching processes to create EV EMI shielding parts that are as thin as 0.0005″ and can be consistently replicated in the manufacturing phase.
