Plastics are favored when heaven, complex geometrie, or radio-currency transparency (for integrated antennas) are approd. In such cases, selekte shielding - coating only the internal surfaces - can maintain antenna performance.

Enclosure Design Considerations for Optimal EMC
Material alone is not enough. Thee coutsure 's fyzical al design - it s spings, apertures, and grounding strategy - often determinates real-impord EMC success.
Seams, Joints, And Gaskets
Every joint or seam in a metal controsure acts as a potential slot antenna if not controlly bonded. Gaps degrade SE proporally to their long ett dimension. Mitigation techniques include:
- Using vodive gaskets (elastomers filledd with silver or nickel graphite) at demable covers and batry doors
- Finger- stock gaskets for high- frequency applications (applicatie 1 GHz)
- Welding, gluing with adjustve adminives, or using multiple fasteners spaced less than λ / 20 at thee highett frequency of concern
- Ensuring all metal parts are electrically bonded with low impedance to the e systemem ground plane
Apertures and Ventilation

- Use honey comb vents with directive mesh for airflow while maintaining SE
- Place apertures on tha side opposite to te main radiating sources
- Employ directive gaskets around display bezels and button holes
- Use waveguide-below-cutoff designs for circular holes (např., for microphone or LED exit)
Cable and Connektor Management
Cables entering or leaving the coutsure act as antennas. Bett practices include:
- Using ferrite beads or common-mode chokes on internal cables
- Gronding cable shields at both ends with 360 ° contact (pigtails importantly reduce effectiveness)
- Routing cables away from apertures and d along coutsure edges
- Adding feed- tromegh kondenzátory or filter connectors at coutsure enlarges
Internal Partitioning and Component Layout
Te fyzical all effement of PCB sections can reduce the burden on the catcure. Group noisy circits (e.g., switch -mode power suplies) away from sensitive analog or RF consider adding internal shielding cans or metal walls (cast as part of te catcurie) to isolate high distancy sections.

Surface quality matters: rough surfaces, scratches, or poorly applied coatings can increase surface surface resistivity and reduce SE. Electroless nickel- impersion gold (ENIG) or silver plating are often used to maintain low contact resistance at sphangs and gasket interfaces.
