Upgrade for lead-free convertors
Ericsson Power Modules is upgrading its PKD series of lead-free DC/DC convertors to lead-free assembly processes.
Ericsson Power Modules has been making DC/DC convertors in China since 1996.
The new Shanghai plant is equipped with the latest automated manufacturing equipment to ensure both lowest production costs and highest product quality.
It is designed to mirror Ericsson's Kalmar factory in Sweden, guaranteeing the same high levels of manufacturing yield and product reliability.
The 4000m2 factory will serve both local and global markets for Ericsson's advanced DC/DC power modules.
Marketing Director, Patrick Le Fevre, commented: "This expansion is the continuity of our policy to be close to our customers.
Many of them have moved much of their manufacturing to China and we want to be able to deliver a flexible local service.
The increased capacity will also ensure that we are ready to respond to the expected rapid growth in demand as 3G networks are deployed over the next few years.
In addition, it will enable the rapid introduction of new products".
The Shanghai plant currently employs 120 people, has a clean-classed ESD protected area for manufacturing and assembly lines include the latest equipment from leading suppliers, burn-in systems and advanced test and failure analysis equipment for DC/DC convertors.
