BLOG: Rugged Racks at Sea – Engineering the 19″ Naval Enclosure

2025-10-07T17:00:52-05:00October 7th, 2025|Tags: , , , , , , |

Standard EIA 19″ racks serve as the backbone of most commercial data centers, but in military and naval applications, standard just isn’t good enough. Equipment housed within these racks must survive the harsh conditions found aboard combat vessels, including exposure to vibration, shock, salt fog, and EMI.

At Electromet, we’ve engineered […]

BLOG: Navigating the Standards – What Makes an Enclosure Naval-Grade?

2025-09-29T10:15:33-05:00September 17th, 2025|Tags: , , , , , , |

When it comes to naval systems integration, not all enclosures are created equal. Mission-critical electronics demand protection from not just the sea—but from shock, vibration, EMI/RFI interference, and environmental extremes. That’s where standards like MIL-STD-901E, MIL-STD-167-1A, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-810F come into play.

Electromet’s rugged enclosures and 19″ EIA racks are designed […]

BLOG: A Guide to IPC J-STD-001E – Soldering Standards for Mission-Critical Electronics

2025-08-14T12:07:15-05:00August 14th, 2025|Tags: , , , |

In defense systems, a single solder joint failure can disable an entire platform. That’s why IPC J-STD-001E is the global benchmark for soldering processes in mission-critical electronics.

Electromet integrates this standard into every enclosure that includes internal electrical assemblies or supports embedded OEM systems. This blog explains the role of IPC […]

BLOG: Understanding MIL-STD-810F: Environmental Testing for Military Systems

2025-07-18T11:31:24-05:00July 16th, 2025|Tags: , , , , , |

MIL-STD-810F is a test method standard established by the U.S. Department of Defense to define a series of laboratory test conditions that simulate the environmental stresses systems will encounter in field use. Originally published in 1962 and continuously updated, the “F” revision was released in 2000 and has remained a […]

BLOG: Shielding the Signal – MIL-STD-461 & EMI/RFI Compliance in Naval Environments

2025-07-18T11:33:31-05:00June 25th, 2025|Tags: , , , , , |

MIL-STD-461 establishes electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for electronic systems used in military applications. This standard ensures that systems can operate reliably without emitting or being affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). For defense applications, particularly aboard naval platforms, compliance with MIL-STD-461 is critical to maintaining operational […]

2025-07-18T11:35:35-05:00June 5th, 2025|Tags: , , , , |

MIL-STD-167, the military standard for vibration testing, is a cornerstone of ensuring the reliability and operational survivability of systems aboard naval vessels. This standard evaluates the resilience of equipment against mechanical and environmental vibrations that can originate from propulsion systems, weapons fire, and operational sea conditions. These vibrations, if unmitigated, […]

BLOG: Understanding MIL-DTL-901E: Shock Qualification for Naval Enclosures

2025-07-17T16:13:49-05:00May 7th, 2025|Tags: , , , , , , |

When designing electronics enclosures for naval applications, survivability under extreme mechanical shock is not optional—it’s essential. MIL-DTL-901E, formerly known as MIL-STD-901D, is the defining standard for shock qualification of shipboard equipment. This standard governs how enclosures and their mounted electronics must perform when subjected to the violent shock loads that […]
