SAN ANTONIO – CEP Technologies is expanding its technical cleaning and tape-and-reel operations at its manufacturing facility here to support the EMI/RFI shielding market in the US and Mexico.

“Devices and circuit boards are becoming smaller and faster with strict electromagnetic compatibility requirements,” said CEP president Ken Kaufmann Jr. “And there is a continuing need for better interference control. If manufacturers hope to bring new devices and finished products to market, custom shielding will be a big part of that. Metal shields offer a trusted and durable solution. Given how many electronic and communications devices are packed into nearly every product made these days, shields can’t merely be designed well, they need to be manufactured with care to minimize the risk of EMI and RFI on devices.”

CEP produces custom shielding components that suppress and prevent internally generated signals and external ambient temperatures from interfering with equipment operations. Its two-piece covers and frames protect PCB components.
