Essential Touch-Points On EMI Seals

By Helen Robinson


Electrical components and systems deployed in core applications are usually prone to interruption by electromagnetism. The systems form the critical bases in military, aerodynamic and medical applications. They are also highly used in navigation control systems, and industrial settings for data transmission and in control touchscreens. The electromagnetic waves thus possess threats to such systems thus pressing the engineers to use EMI seals to shield the devices.

The magnitude of the interruptions may range from less significant effects to terrific situations like crackdown of the entire system as well as loss of life. This thus necessitates the engineers in the field to have a precise understanding of the effects of electromagnetic energy on their routine practices. This fosters the development of protective sealing products that can bear higher radio frequencies, associated with interference.

The electro-magnetically charged waves originates from either ambient or power quality problems sources. Ambient sources include both man-made and natural sources such as computer circuits, solar magnetic storms, earths magnetic field flux and brush motors. On the other hand, interference caused by power quality problems are initiated by blackouts and brownouts, fast electrical transitions and power line faults.

The seals are useful in that they take the front-line in compacting the adverse effects triggered by EMI in electric systems. This is usually crowned by the electromagnetic shielding process which entails obstructing electromagnetic radiations induced by electrical circuit systems conveying vigorously changing signals. These signals may cause interference or noise. This is solely achieved by having a distinct separation of these circuits with an insulating barrier that is also conductive.

The electronic warfare in military assets and other critical infrastructure include; the high-altitude electromagnetic pulse, high-power microwave weapons, E-bombs among others. This has necessitated the designers to carefully assess such threats in order to incorporate appropriate protection shielding seals in their gasket designs. The shielding gaskets are mechanical devices that aid in protecting electronics from EMI.

Anciently, the shielding was achieved via fabrication of metallic components to structure sealing materials that take the shapes and fit the electronic enclosures. Nevertheless, they were associated with a drawback of deforming thereby leaking EMI into the circuits. In the present day, the developers are using more innovative shielding materials like metallic wires and foams.

Moreover, increased innovations have paved an unobstructed way for the use of effective sealing materials like the particle-filled silicone. They are highly preferred shielding choices in industrial applications since they attenuate the rate at which electromagnetic radiations are discharged. They also allow electrical conductivity due to their conductive properties. They also cushion the electric circuits from mechanically drifted shocks. Amazingly, they also form a smooth shielding coating.

Thus, the seals are of paramount importance in special types of industrial applications in fields of military, medical, vehicular control systems and mass data transit. Their incorporation in such fields have aided in alleviating the electromagnetic interference in critical applications. Innovations have also played a major role in developing effective sealing elastomers that satisfy an array of shielding requirements.
