Parker Chomerics helped an electronics component manufacturer with a total EMI shielding solution shielding components on a PCB. 

Parker Chomerics helped a global manufacturer of automotive electromechanical systems with material knowledge and engineering support to develop an electrically conductive plastic ECU housing for use in an automotive actuator system.

A global automotive supplier required a high performing, non-silicone based and highly conformable thermal interface material for an automotive ADAS camera module.

A global manufacturer of 5G telecom base stations required effective thermal management using a high thermal conductivity dispensable thermal interface material to support increased capacity and connectivity for future traffic growth.

An electronics component manufacturer requires a filter connector gasket that must be conductive, with z-axis and x-y plane shielding. It must have high reliability on both aging and temperature cycling tests. The customer is currently using a metal gasket with form-in-place (FIP) technology that is not providing the proper performance required.

A global electronics manufacturer was not happy with their current supplier of thermal interface pads. Due to the shear movement of this application, the manufacturer needed a thermal interface gap pad that would not tear under motion.

A globally recognized electronics component manufacturer was having service issues with their current supplier. They needed to switch suppliers and find an EMI shielding gasket that offered a low-compression force, high performance all within a cost-efficient material solution that could be easily cut into parts.

A manufacturer of commercial electronics requires vents in two locations on an OEM cabinet enclosure. Both vents required high air-flow and mid-level EMI shielding. A unique requirement for this application was the frame complexity required to properly made with the customer’s chassis.

A component manufacturer required a complete EMI shielding solution for a cover to shield components on a printed circuit board (PCB). This included a conductive cover, shielding gasket, and RF absorbing materials.

A global manufacturer of radio communications equipment wished to replace an existing stamped metal housing with a lighter, more effective solution which would allow for access to the device for enhancements and repairs, without soldering.

An electronics component manufacturer required a shield ground termination for a cable transitioning into a bulkhead. A connector with backshell solution was not appropriate due to the size and cost implications. As with most cable shield grounding applications, a 360 degree peripheral ground was necessary for system EMI compliance.
