EMI Shielding

Foil vs. braid, pigtail lengths, and high-voltage vehicle isolation.

EMI Shielding via foils or braids is required for CAN, Ethernet, and High-Voltage DC. The braid coverage should exceed 85%.

Common Mistakes in EMI Shielding

  • Assuming static theoretical values over empirical testing.
  • Ignoring thermal derating curves in enclosed routing spaces.
  • Applying generic global standards without cross-referencing European ISO 6722 limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary standard for this?

Typically governed by IPC/WHMA-A-620 for manufacturing and ISO 6722 for the physical wire attributes.

How frequently should tools be calibrated?

At least every 50,000 cycles, or per shift for high-volume automated lines.
