Industrial EMC Solutions for Interference-Free Connectivity

Mencom Corporation provides advanced EMC solutions, mitigating EMI and ensuring reliable performance in high-interference industrial environments.

Mencom Corporation reaffirms its commitment to addressing electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS), and radio frequency (RF) challenges through its advanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) solutions. With nearly four decades of expertise, Mencom's portfolio ensures reliable performance in high-interference industrial environments, meeting stringent regulatory standards and customer demands.


Understanding EMI, EMS, and EMC

EMC stands for electromagnetic compatibility which ensures electronic devices function properly without disrupting other devices or environmental factors. The three fundamental concepts within EMC include electromagnetic interference (EMI) electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) and radio frequency (RF) considerations.
The term EMI describes unwanted electromagnetic energy that produces noise or signal distortion which disrupts device operation. The sources of EMI include industrial machinery as well as power lines and wireless signals which produce data errors and system failures.
A device's resistance to external electromagnetic disturbances is measured through EMS to maintain consistent performance in demanding environments.
RF represents a specific part of EMI which includes electromagnetic waves that operate within the radio frequency spectrum extending from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. RF interference specifically affects high-speed data transmission and wireless connectivity thus requiring specialized mitigation strategies.
The comprehensive framework of EMC ensures devices operate without interference issues while protecting them from RF-specific challenges. The increasing adoption of automation and IoT and high-speed networks requires proper EMI and EMS and RF management to achieve reliable performance in manufacturing and transportation and telecommunications applications.

Mencom's Commitment to EMC Excellence

Mencom Corporation delivers solutions that mitigate EMI, enhance EMS, and ensure EMC through advanced shielding and grounding technologies. Mencom's EMC-focused portfolio includes:

• Shielded Circular Connectors: Available in M8, M12, M23, and MINI configurations, these connectors feature nickel-plated brass/stainless steel shells with shielded cables for superior EMI grounding. With IP69 ratings, they support industrial ethernet, sensors, and power distribution in manufacturing and automation.

• EMC Series Rectangular Connectors: As the U.S. Master Distributor for ILME, Mencom offers heavy-duty rectangular connectors with EMC shielding to protect the sensitive signals from external electromagnetic signals but also to seal stronger signals from leaking to the outside and interfering with surrounding electronics, achieving -87.557 dB at 10 MHz and -71.649 dB at 100 MHz. These connectors excel in automation, aerospace, and power applications.

• EMI Shielding Cable Glands: These nickel-plated brass glands offer IP68 protection, comparable to NMEA 6P. They effectively ground shielded cables and easily connect the cable shield to the metal cable gland. They are available with PG and metric threads.
