Types of Electrical Enclosures and How to Choose One
Choosing an electrical enclosure involves more than finding a box that fits the components. The enclosure must suit the equipment, installation method, and operating environment while providing sufficient room for controls, connectors, wiring, ventilation, and maintenance. The main types of electrical enclosures include hand-held cases, desktop instrument cases, panel-mounted enclosures, wall-mounted boxes, 19-inch rack cases, […]
What Is Board-Level Shielding and When Is It Needed?
Board-level shielding uses a conductive metal cover to help protect selected components or circuits on a printed circuit board from electromagnetic interference. It can also help contain emissions produced by components within the shielded area. This targeted approach is often used when interference affects a specific part of a PCB, and screening the entire product […]
