Have you been concerned about paying too much to produce high-volume electronics components? Has part consistency ever fallen short?
We can help you resolve any injection molding issue you might face.
Our industry professionals can help you develop molded components suitable for the electronics industry where tight tolerances are a necessity.
Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process that converts raw plastic material—in granular or pellet form—into molded parts and products. During such operations, the injection molding machine melts the plastic and injects it into pre-designed molds. After cooling, the hardened plastic part is ejected from the mold and proceeds to further finishing operations or direct use. The plastic injection molding process is commonly employed to manufacture electronics for three main reasons. These include:
1. More cost-effective
While the initial investment cost for building a plastic injection mold can be high, the costs for materials are typically much lower when compared to other manufacturing methods. The process is especially cost effective for high volume production orders.
2. Improved part and process consistency
From part to part and between production runs, the injection molding process produces high volume repeatability.
3. Expansive material options
Using plastics for injection molding operations opens up a wealth of material options to industry professionals. The injection molding process accommodates a wide range of plastics of varying formulations, colors, and finishes to suit different part and production needs, including flexible vs. rigid, conductive vs. non-conductive, watertight, UV resistant, and more.
Injection molding finds application in the manufacture of electronic parts and products for a variety of industries, such as aerospace, appliances, automotive, communications, construction, and military and defense. Some typical end uses of injection molded electronics include:
Computers 
Electronic connectors 
Meters, sensors, and other testing equipment 
Semiconductor processing equipment
