EMI/RFI & Regulatory Compliance

Homologation processes for EMC, and Safety, whether localize or for international compliance may also benefit from early collaborative discussions. Deferring compliance considerations in the development cycle may reveal non-compliance deficiencies, requiring design changes, retesting, and additional development and testing costs. The consequences are delays in your product’s introduction and loss of your product’s lifespan revenue.

An electronic and mechanical interdisciplinary collaborative team can quite quickly have a positive effect on development, production costs, and time-to-market.

Collaborative discussion and forethought will eliminate or at least minimize the potential for respins and enclosure modifications after 1st articles are produced and tested. This is not a lengthy discussion process at the onset of a new product development cycle. Teams collaboratively and concurrently working that can anticipate and resolve potential compliance issues is a valuable cause.

Emissions and Immunity for EMC

Examples might be the use and placement of bypass capacitors or Faraday cages over components and sub-circuits. We can help with cages as we’ve designed and produced many of them and provided them to customers for their boards. Early prediction of clock speeds, internal radiating frequency, or what MHz/GHz range needs to be contained is prudent. Unless there’s some additional factor, we generally target the ¼ wavelength. Choke techniques are very frequently used. As needed, we design in additional nearly costless techniques before adding to manufacturing costs by employing fingerstock, fabric-over-foam, conductive elastomer, conductive coatings, etc. The goal is reliable shield effectiveness that meets the requirements at minimal cost.

Safety Compliance

Discussing your system architecture at the onset will reveal potential safety compliance issues. We can offer suggestions to resolve them which may or may not affect the architecture, but certainly minimize the need for modifications determined during your homologation process.
