I-PEX Launches EMC Testing Service
in Machida, Tokyo
Supporting Product Development
Through Pre-Compliance Verification

I-PEX Inc. (Head Office: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto; Representative Director, President and Executive Officer: Reiji Konishi; hereinafter “I-PEX”) has launched a EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing service at its Tokyo R&D Center in Machida, Tokyo.

The service provides EMC measurement and evaluation of products before certification testing. It uses a 3 m anechoic chamber based on the CISPR 16 standard and draws on the EMC evaluation expertise and measurement know-how I-PEX has developed through research and development of connectors and electronic components.

As electronic devices become more advanced and wireless communications technologies more widespread, addressing EMC has become an important part of product development. At the same time, many companies face challenges in securing the facilities and specialized expertise needed to conduct thorough verification before certification testing.

Through the development of products including connectors, I-PEX has developed expertise in high-frequency transmission, EMC evaluation, precision molding and production technologies. As an “Innovative Product development & Engineering solutions eXpert,” I-PEX applies these capabilities to help customers solve their challenges. The launch of this EMC testing service is another way I-PEX supports customers’ product development.⁠

The service uses the 3 m EMC anechoic chamber at the Tokyo R&D Center. It conducts radiated emission and conducted emission tests in accordance with various EMC standards for consumer products^*1. The center also supports electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 (consumer products) and ISO 10605 (automotive components).

Drawing on the evaluation expertise and know-how gained through the development of I-PEX-branded connectors, engineers experienced in EMC measurement support customers throughout the process—from test planning and measurement to evaluation of the results.

The service is available for pre-compliance verification before certification testing^*2. I-PEX aims to help customers improve product development efficiency and shorten time to market.

The Tokyo R&D Center is located in Machida, Tokyo, within walking distance of Machida Station on the JR Yokohama Line and the Odakyu Line.

In addition to being conveniently accessible from manufacturing companies and development sites across the Tokyo metropolitan area, the center offers a measurement environment equivalent to that of a testing laboratory. This enables EMC evaluation close to customers’ product development sites.

I-PEX will continue to support customers’ product development and quality improvement by leveraging its technical expertise, including evaluation and analysis technologies. As an “Innovative Product development & Engineering solutions eXpert,” I-PEX will also continue working to create new value.

I-PEX stands for “Innovative Product development & Engineering solutions eXpert” providing value in the form of inspiration and astonishment in the global marketplace. The company was founded in 1963 as Dai-ichi Seiko, a precision mold manufacturer, and has since produced numerous world-firsts and unique products and solutions. I-PEX currently operates in five business fields: Connectors, Contract Manufacturing (Automotive Components & Electronics Components), Molds & Equipment, MEMS Foundry, Energy Solutions. By delivering the sharpest tip to the world, we will contribute to exciting value-creation in the digitalized society by working globally with every client who open up the new era.
