Labyrinth RFI screening can brings RFI benefits
A labyrinth RFI screening can is an effective one-part board-level alternative for PCB designs which would otherwise require solid metal enclosures or multiple screening cans.
The company welcomes entry into the system at any level, offering value-engineered solutions whatever the individual case and ensuring 'defined costs for defined goals'.
Exploiting its detailed knowledge of RFI solutions, the company offers structured levels of service, catering for those who know they need screening but don't know where to go next, to those with fully dimensioned drawings needing professional enhancements to incorporate special manufacturing techniques, for example.
Other everyday considerations include maintenance access, PCB real estate, crosstalk and EMC needs.
Also on offer are design guidance, site visits, prototyping, sample production, finish and thickness options, forming, assembly and re-evaluation of established designs for productivity enhancements and cost reduction.
The company uses a range of well established and proven manufacturing systems, such as photo-chemical machining (PCM) and punch/press progression tooling, to provide cans for the most demanding low, medium or high-volume production needs.
Cost-effective bespoke product production is the norm, says Tecan.
Typical cans may include an open-ended selection of options such as fences, dividing walls, multi-sided enclosures, labyrinths, full enclosures, spring-finger lids, simple fold lids, dimple-lock lids and screening meshes.
Resultant fabrications are designed to meet end-user's specific assembly, production and life-long requirements, such as hand or surface-mount, reflow soldering, pick and place assembly, service and maintenance.
The division initiative has pooled all RFI disciplines at Tecan, from estimating and quotation, to enquiry and order administration, production planning and CAD functions.
