How to plan electromagnetic compatibility testing before certification

How to plan electromagnetic compatibility testing before certification

Electromagnetic compatibility testing should be planned long before a product is sent to a certification lab. For technical teams developing embedded systems, power electronics, motor drives, sensors or connected equipment, EMC is not a final inspection step. It is a...
Choosing waterproof electrical connectors for harsh environments

Choosing waterproof electrical connectors for harsh environments

A connector is often one of the smallest purchased items in a product, yet it can become the point where a well-designed system fails in the field. For teams specifying waterproof connectors electrical reliability is not just about the IP rating printed on a...
Electromagnetic compliance testing: a practical preparation guide

Electromagnetic compliance testing: a practical preparation guide

Preparing for electromagnetic compliance testing is a design activity, not a booking task. For technical directors, engineering managers and product owners, the real objective is not to pass one laboratory session by chance. It is to understand how the product behaves...
EMC testing: how to prepare electronics for fewer late surprises

EMC testing: how to prepare electronics for fewer late surprises

EMC testing is often treated as the final gate before CE marking, but for professional electronics it is better understood as a set of engineering checks that should influence architecture, PCB layout, cabling, firmware and enclosure decisions long before the formal...
How transformers in electronics shape safe, reliable power design

How transformers in electronics shape safe, reliable power design

A transformer in electronics is often selected as if it were a simple voltage conversion part, but in professional product development it shapes safety, EMC behaviour, thermal performance and long-term reliability. In high-tech machines, maritime equipment, defence...
