In today’s highly connected world, electronic devices are everywhere, from medical equipment to aerospace technology. But with more electronics comes a growing challenge—electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can disrupt signals, degrade performance, and even cause critical system failures.
That’s where EMI shielding comes in. At New England Die Cutting (NEDC), we specialize in high-performance EMI shielding solutions that protect sensitive electronics from unwanted interference, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
What Is EMI Shielding?
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs when electronic devices emit signals that interfere with one another. This can lead to performance issues, malfunctions, and even total system failure in critical applications.
EMI shielding is the process of blocking or absorbing these unwanted signals to prevent interference. This is typically achieved using conductive materials that reflect or absorb electromagnetic waves, keeping signals contained and electronics functioning correctly.
Industries That Rely on EMI Shielding
Many industries depend on EMI shielding to ensure the safety and functionality of their devices:
1. Aerospace & Defense
- Protects avionics, radar systems, and communication devices from signal disruption.
- Ensures secure military communications and operational reliability.
2. Medical Equipment
- Shields sensitive diagnostic tools like MRI machines and pacemakers from outside interference.
- Prevents EMI from disrupting life-saving devices.
3. Telecommunications
- Reduces signal distortion in cell towers, satellite systems, and 5G networks.
- Ensures clear and uninterrupted communication.
4. Automotive & Electric Vehicles (EVs)
- Prevents EMI from affecting GPS, sensors, and infotainment systems in modern vehicles.
- Essential for the reliability of electric and autonomous vehicles.
5. Consumer Electronics
- Shields smartphones, laptops, and smart devices from signal interference.
- Improves performance and battery life in wireless gadgets.
Types of EMI Shielding Materials
At NEDC, we offer a variety of custom EMI shielding solutions to meet your exact specifications, including:
- Conductive Gaskets: Designed for enclosures and housings, blocking EMI leakage.
- Shielding Tapes & Films: Lightweight and flexible solutions for electronic casings.
