EMI Shielding Innovations to Watch at IEEE EMC+SIPI 2025 (Raleigh, NC)

Stadt Chenzhou, Provinz Hunan, CN

The IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity Symposium (EMC+SIPI) returns on August 18–22, 2025 in Raleigh, North Carolina, bringing together engineers, researchers and suppliers to discuss the latest in EMC standards, measurement, and mitigation. With dense electronics in EVs, 5G/6G, medical and industrial systems, practical shielding choices remain central to passing compliance and ensuring product reliability.

A key theme this year is test realism: organizers are emphasizing system-level measurement and modeling that connect component selection to end-product performance. Tutorials and workshops cover emissions/immunity, grounding and bonding, high-speed digital design, antenna coupling, and updates across CISPR/IEC/ISO/SAE standards. For design teams facing short schedules, the most immediate payoffs are clearer guidance on enclosure seams, panel interfaces, cable penetrations and display/door openings—where well-chosen gaskets and contact elements do most of the work.

Material advances also continue. Expect discussion on contact resistance stability under vibration and thermal cycling; corrosion behavior in mixed-metal stacks; and how compression, plating and carrier choices influence shielding effectiveness (SE) across broadband environments. These topics map directly to everyday product decisions:

  • Enclosure seams and access panels: For sliding or frequently serviced doors, spiral shielding gaskets provide high resilience and repeatable compression. See Handa’s options here: RF/EMI-Abschirmung Spiralförmige Dichtung.
  • Ground continuity and large tolerances: Beryllium-copper fingerstock is still a workhorse for frames, racks and RFI door edges, offering low contact resistance and long life: Fingerabdrücke.
  • Lightweight boards, displays and gap fill: Elektrisch leitfähiger Schaumstoff helps close irregular gaps and cushions delicate assemblies while maintaining SE: Conductive Foam.
  • Cable shields and quick retrofits: Conductive cloth tapes and foils are essential for seams and pigtails; start with our overview: Leitfähiges Gewebeband and related Conductive Aluminium Tape.
  • Environment + EMC: When you need IP sealing and EMI control together, choose hybrid constructions or elastomer-assisted spirals and conductive rubber profiles to balance compression set, sealing and SE: Elektrisch leitfähige Gummiprofile.

Automotive and e-mobility sessions will spotlight high-current joints, inverter enclosures and HV harnesses. Robust shielding at seams and grounding points can reduce common-mode emissions and improve immunity to burst and surge events. In telecom and data-center hardware, expect attention on panel density, airflow, and how contact geometry impacts both impedance and thermal paths.

What should teams do before they arrive in Raleigh? First, align on the failure modes you’re seeing—radiated emissions at enclosure joints, susceptibility near displays, radiated immunity at door seams, etc.—and bring those constraints to sessions and the exhibit hall. Second, validate against your mechanical realities: closure forces, door cycle counts, corrosion exposure, and allowable compression ranges. Those inputs narrow choices between spiral gaskets (high resilience), fingerstock (excellent conductivity, wide tolerances), compressible foams (gentle on assemblies), and tape/foil solutions (fast to apply, great for seams and pigtails).

Handa Shielding manufactures a full portfolio covering these needs—from spiral tube gaskets und fingerstock to conductive foams, rubber profilesund conductive tapes/foils—with custom sampling to accelerate design-in. If you’re preparing for EMC+SIPI conversations or immediate pre-compliance work, our engineers can recommend candidate geometries, plating and compression targets based on your enclosure design and test profile.
