Overmoulding Electronics
Overmoulding is a plastic injection moulding technique that moulds two components together to make a single part. Overmoulding electronics involves moulding plastic over an electronic substrate, creating a part which is often more durable, flexible, and protected from outside elements. Lots of the electronics used in everyday life are overmoulded, including cables and wires, sensors, and printed circuit boards. Why overmould electronics? There are a few reasons why electronics are overmoulded: -Waterproofing: Many electronics will be completely ruined if exposed to water, particularly salt water. Overmoulding prevents water from getting inside the part. -Durability: Electronic parts may be overmoulded to help them withstand harsh environments, giving them greater resistance to impact, dust, chemicals, and heat. -Appearance: Overmoulding can improve the aesthetics of an electronic part. Bespoke elements such as logos and writing can be added to provide branding or decoration … Continue reading
