Innovation is an important variable in the equation for success in industry. This is true in every industrial sector. But the truth of that statement is especially evident in the case of the EMI shielding products industry. EMI shielding manufacturers who fail to adapt to the changing winds of their industry will find themselves swept away. And because the winds in the industrial, commercial and Continue reading
Magnetic Shield Corporation offers a variety of magnetic shielding materials, including MuMetal.
Everyone’s heard of telegraphs and telegraph wires. Most people are familiar with Morse Code and how it revolutionized communication across long distance. Some people are likely to know that telegraph cables were submerged and laid across the floor of the Atlantic Ocean between the Americas and Europe. But almost no one could tell you what was used to prevent the signals passed through that cable from becoming distorted. Throughout the course of the story of transatlantic cable’s development, a number of tools were used to mitigate the signal distortion that was caused by Continue reading
Analogy is one of the best ways to demonstrate or explain an abstraction. Electromagnetic interference, or EMI, is not necessarily an abstraction, but it can be a difficult concept to grasp, especially for people without backgrounds in electrical engineering or physical sciences generally. One of the analogies that I’ve come to use to help myself understand the concept comes from American football. One of the most frustrating penalties in football is defensive pass interference, which is called when Continue reading
It’s no secret to professionals who work in electrical engineering or other disciplines in which the development and use of sensitive electronic devices is important that EMI is an important consideration. In some cases, professionals who work in these industries aren’t necessarily experts on the subject of EMI, and it can be helpful for them to have resources at their disposal that shore up their ability to make products that aren’t affected in negative ways by EMI. This is where Continue reading
I was privileged enough as a young child to have parents who cared vigorously for my health. I was less privileged that their care for my health included care for my teeth, and the expression of that care was two visits to the dentist every year. I’m just kidding about that not being a privilege, of course. But I can’t think of anyone who looks forward to visits to the dentist’s office, unless that person is a dentist. One of my least favorite experiences at the dentist’s office is the oral X-ray. I don’t so much mind the idea of being irradiated, but Continue reading
EMI shielding distributors serve a vital purpose within industry. If you consider the fact that all electronic devices are vulnerable to electromagnetic interference, it should be clear that companies that make electromagnetic shielding products available serve a very important purpose for industry. Basically, there are two types of EMI shielding distributors: those that distribute finished EMI shielding products to customers and those who send EMI shielding products to customers that will integrate the shielding into their own products. Both kinds of products are Continue reading
July 16, 1945 marked the United States’ first test of a nuclear weapon. It was the culmination of the Manhattan Project’s research phase, and the observations made by the attending scientists would greatly increase their understanding of this new weapon they’d created. In order to maximize their information gathering capability, the research team shielded its testing instrumentation at the request of Enrico Fermi, one of the project’s head researchers, as well as other prominent figures in the Continue reading
Title 47, Part 15 of the Federal Code of Regulations is the code that regulates all devices that generate unlicensed transmissions. Many people may think of pirate radio or amateur ham radio broadcasts when they hear the words “unlicensed transmission,” but in reality any electromagnetic emission from an electronic device is an unlicensed transmission, and all electronic devices emit electromagnetic interference to at least some extent. Consumers are likely to realize at least one Continue reading
Magnetic shields contain magnetic interference from within or isolate interference from without. This is the simplest definition of the roles that magnetic shields play. Of course, this definition is insufficiently descriptive to give anyone a meaningful understanding of what magnetic shields do and how they do it. While a truly thorough understanding of the topic would have to involve a crash Continue reading
