Epoxy Overmolding : A new approach to proven protection
Epoxy Overmolded PCBA What is Epoxy Overmolding? When it comes to protecting electronics from harsh environments, design engineers have only a limited number of technologies to choose from. Unless the product can survive in a simple clamshell housing, options for protecting circuit boards include epoxy potting, conformal coating and low-pressure molding (LPM). Epoxy overmolding is […]
Tips and Ideas for LPM Designers
Function vs. Aesthetics The look and feel of a molded product is important, but with LPM it is rarely the driving factor in a design. Engineers seek a molded electronic device that can pass testing and withstand harsh environments. While aesthetic appeal may not be critical to the product design, many of our customers do […]
Overmolding Electronics : Premold Design
As mentioned elsewhere, it makes sense to consider a two-step overmolding approach in several situations: If the electronic assembly must be completely sealed If the positioning of the electronic package inside the final overmold is critical (sensor, antenna or Bluetooth chip locations may dictate accurate location) If the project requires light pipes, we will typically […]
Thermal Concerns When Overmolding Electronics
When injection molding over live electronic circuitry, heat and thermal considerations play a major role in the tooling design and approach. Our customers often …
