When thinking about EMI/RFI connector gaskets, one of the best analogies might be in your own home, with water.  Water can be a godsend or a curse.  It needs to be contained in your plumbing system which takes it to where it is useful.  But a leak within your home or from the outside elements causes serious problems.  Now take that analogy up a notch.  Think of connector gaskets as the protection, keeping signals where they need to be where ever there is a connection to a bulkhead.  They stop stray EMI//RFI noise or “leaks” from causing problems.  They seal, ...

5G (fifth generation) is the newest communication infrastructure and electronic device  advancement to enable a multitude of faster, more functional, comprehensive technologies and human services available to everyone.  5G is used with mission critical communications, internet of things (IoT) and mobile broadband telecommunications.   5G Frequencies and Wavelengths The FCC recently granted 280 MHz from 3.70 to 3.98 GHz for the popular mid frequency 5G band.  The popularity of this mid range is due to increased speed of data deliverability compared to the low range, and increased connectivity in buildings compared to the line of sight high range.   4G relies on lower frequency bands ...

A lot of engineers use the terms interchangeably, but project success with proper electromagnetic shielding is more easily achieved with a proper definition!

Wherever there is a window in a hardened enclosure, whether it’s in something as small as a handheld device or as large as a shipping container, there is the probability of EMI contamination.  EMI shielded windows are designed to solve this problem.  They allow for separation between the interior and exterior of a shielded unit while fulfilling two major requirements; needed transparency plus EMI attenuation.  They can protect against stray signals coming into or leakage coming from the unit itself. In medical devices, for example, small units often use EMI windows to allow personnel to view inside and read data collected ...

How many times have you wished you had one material – a “go to” choice for easier product design and engineering in EMI/RFI shielding applications – that offers: Superior EMI attenuation; Multiple materials available including monel and ferrous; Production-friendly capabilities for the prototype or large production runs; And is able to be shaped into 1000’s of forms for hundreds of uses? That product is found in MAJR Products’ knitted wire mesh. What is MAJR’s Knitted Wire Mesh? The vast usability of the product lies in the material’s design.  Knitted wire mesh is composed of .002 to .004 diameter wires which are woven into a fabric-type material resembling ...

EMI Vent Panels: Standard and Custom Products from MAJR Air flow is an important part of many military electronic systems. Keeping equipment cool and air flowing is paramount to long term electronic system stability but creating openings for cooling can cause engineering issues. During design and manufacturing many electronic systems needing protection from EMI/RFI will pose a challenge that needs to be addressed around air flow that can be solved with MAJR’s EMI vent panels.  EMI shielded vent panels take the worry out of EMI / RFI signal interference. They limit the amount of radiation from the external environment that can penetrate ...

Manufacturers of equipment for demanding applications such as wireless infrastructure, ruggedized scanners/readers, test equipment, defense and aerospace communications need reliable and cost-effective EMI / RFI shielding. Many are approved for military aerospace and spaceflight applications and typically combine good shielding effectiveness with light weight and low outgassing. They are offered in various forms, such as roll, sheet and peel and stick strips, that can be customized for a range of gasket solutions. Recently, W.L. Gore & Associates has discontinued their GS2100 & GS5200 materials resulting in an increase in need of comparable materials for EMI / RFI shielding.  MAJR Products has been ...

Ventilator Systems & Medical EMC Shielding Medical facilities are one of the epicenters of the Covid-19 pandemic. Their capacity to treat infected patients with life-saving equipment like medical respirators is vital. Severe Covid-19 patients can develop a  life-threatening condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that requires ventilators to deliver smaller volumes of oxygen and air at high rates. From the very beginning of the pandemic, hospitals understood the severe implications of ARDS on a predicted onslaught of lung impacted patients and turned to the medical device industry for additional machines and support. Companies like MAJR Products, whose shielding products are critical ...

Once you’ve determined that your systems or components need isolation from surrounding electromagnetic fields, or to block the transmission of additional signals, designing the appropriate enclosure is crucial.  Our shielding design flow chart can help designers and engineers navigate the varied types of EMI/RFI shielding materials available to choose the right materials that meet your specific shielding and environmental requirements.    From Table 1, first identify the intended environment: indoor, outdoor, or both. Next, select the NEMA or IP enclosure type: commercial, military, marine, land or desert. Or for indoor applications, warehouse or office. IP RATINGS IP ratings classify the degrees of protection against the ingress ...

Valued Customers, MAJR Products Corporation is currently operating normally and will remain open for business during our standard business hours. Under the guidelines set forth by the Under Secretary of the Defense MAJR is classified as part of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and are considered a supplier of critical components to the Defense and Aerospace industries. Because of this classification MAJR Products is exempt from the mandatory shutdown put in to effect by the Governor of Pennsylvania. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to develop we are taking great measures to insure the health and safety of our employees are not compromised ...
