Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) refers to the disruption caused by electromagnetic radiation emitted from an external source that affects an electrical circuit. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the branch of engineering concerned with ensuring electronic devices can function properly in their electromagnetic environment without emitting levels of electromagnetic energy that cause interference in other devices.
Selecting the appropriate shielding material depends on several factors including the frequency range needing protection, required attenuation levels, mechanical constraints, environmental conditions, and budget considerations. LabroTek’s technical specialists can help analyze your specific requirements and recommend optimal solutions based on comprehensive testing data.
Shielding effectiveness varies by product and frequency range, typically ranging from 60dB to over 120dB attenuation. Factors affecting performance include material composition, thickness, installation method, and frequency of the interference. We provide detailed technical specifications and can perform custom testing to verify performance for your specific application.
Yes, retrofit shielding solutions are available for many existing products and enclosures. Options include adhesive-backed foils and tapes, conductive paints, easy-to-install gaskets, and external shielding enclosures. While designing shielding into new products typically yields better results, our retrofit solutions can significantly improve the EMC performance of existing equipment.
Temperature extremes, humidity, chemicals, UV exposure, and mechanical stress can all impact shielding effectiveness over time. Our IP65-rated environmental gaskets maintain both EMI protection and environmental sealing under harsh conditions. For challenging environments, we recommend materials specifically designed to withstand your operational conditions.
LabroTek offers access to comprehensive EMC testing services including shielding effectiveness measurements according to IEEE 299, MIL-STD-285, and EN 50147-1 standards. Testing can be performed on materials, components, or complete systems, with detailed reports providing verification of performance across relevant frequency ranges.
Custom gaskets can be produced through various manufacturing methods including die-cutting, water jet cutting, molding, and extrusion processes. The production method depends on the material, quantity required, complexity of the design, and performance specifications. Our engineering team works closely with clients to determine the most cost-effective manufacturing approach while meeting all technical requirements.
Product lifespan varies based on material type, environmental conditions, and mechanical stress. Properly selected and installed shielding can maintain effectiveness for 5-15+ years in typical applications. Factors that may reduce lifespan include compression set in gaskets, corrosion in metal shields, and physical damage. Our technical team can help select materials optimized for longevity in your specific operating environment.
Yes, LabroTek supports the product development process with small-quantity orders for prototyping purposes. We understand that testing various materials and designs is crucial for developing effective EMC solutions, and we’re committed to supporting innovation at every stage of development, from initial concept testing to full production.
Regulatory requirements vary by industry, product type, and geographical region. Common standards include FCC Part 15 in the US, the EMC Directive in Europe, and various industry-specific requirements like medical (IEC 60601-1-2) or automotive (CISPR 25). Our team can help identify applicable regulations for your product and design shielding solutions to ensure compliance.
