The latest EMI shielding products
Electromagnetic interference shielding, or EMI shielding, is the process of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space through the use of barriers or covers made of conductive or magnetic materials. The usage of EMI shielding is well established in computers, automotive electronics, medical devices, telecommunications, and is now expanding in the appliances market.
