EMI Gaskets and Shielding for the Modern Automotive Industry
Electromagnetic interference is all around us, and it can affect the proper functionality of electronic devices. A rapid increase in technology in our everyday world requires that products be protected from EMI. One industry that most greatly consider EMI is the automotive industry. Modern cars and trucks have more computers and electric parts than vehicles made in the 1970s or 80s. For all the sophisticated electronics to properly function within a car, engineers and designers use EMI shielding and EMI gaskets. Adding new onboard systems, like GPS navigation or in-vehicle communication increases the likelihood of emitting EMI throughout the car. Shielding materials must bust used, like EMI gaskets, to help to keep modern vehicles working as intended.
EMI shielding gaskets are placed between the shield housing and the mating surface of the electronic device.
Amongst the most critical areas of a vehicle to protect is electric motors because they are known to emit high levels of EMI that can cause problems throughout the car. Ultimately, this problem can lead to malfunctions and complete breakdowns. To protect other electronics in the car, modern car designers should make provisions for proper EMI shielding.
Traditionally, sheet metal was used when building older cars, but now, with more automobile companies competing, manufacturers are switching to non-metallic components for production. Shielding engineers should be redirecting efforts to create reliable solutions for protecting the interior of their vehicles.
