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.
Cleanliness and quality are key, throughout the plating processes, producing consistently superior surface finishes using all popular and niche-application plated finishes.
Finishes available include acid gold, pure gold, silver, bright tin, 60/40 tin lead, 90/10 tin lead, sulphamate nickel, electroless nickel, copper, Type 1 sulphuric anodising and Type 3 hard anodising (colours to specification), stainless steel passivating, and Alochrome 1200 chemical blackening.
Nondestructive X-ray fluorescent testing is employed, to ensure consistently flat and even surfaces and desired thickness meet the required specifications.
QA programmes can be tailored to suit individual statistical process control (SPC) needs, with traceability reports generated as necessary.
Typical components produced by the company include leadframes, evaporation masks, crystal masks, hybrid lids, meshes and bespoke PCM parts requiring in-house plating.
Also, other very high-specification components requiring demanding levels of finish, both in terms of across-surface plating consistency and edge resolution - typically for application in the precision engineering, electronics, aerospace, pharmaceutical and medical equipment markets.
Tecan's new metal finishing facility has been designed with the flexibility to offer market-leading order turnround, from small batch to scheduled requirements.
