Because most equipment today contains digital circuits, engineers must create designs that maximize electromagnetic compatibilities (EMC) to ensure minimal electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Timing delays, waveform distortion, and crosstalk all negatively impact the operating speeds of electronic devices, so each engineering design requires a unique combination of materials to achieve the required specifications. Further complicating the issue are increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and faster clock speeds which raise EMI/RFI susceptibility.
Lustre-Cal is a leader in integrating shielding into other components, such as panel overlays and membrane switches. These multi-purpose components can simplify assembly and ultimately save customers money.
