Can-on-board solder migration problems solved
Tecan Components has solved a range of problems associated with automated soldering of RFI screening cans/fences onto PCBs with the introduction of the 'Plimsoll line and lattice bridging stencils'.
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.
Believed to be unique, the company's ability to provide all necessary manufacturing techniques under one roof, is critical in ensuring the best possible quality control and repeatable consistency available, for both flat and stepped lids.
Electroplating, for example is a function often contracted out by lid makers, a crucial area where in-house quality control ensures accuracy and repeatability.
So comprehensive is the service, that lids can be produced with no manufacturing 'tags' or 'witness marks' assuring the absolute uniformity necessary for accurate bonding to the recipient hybrid tub.
Highly accurate and proven photochemical machining techniques are used to manufacture the parts, and tooling costs are low.
The process also brings other value-added benefits at no extra cost - for example, part numbers, company contact details and other data can be readily etched onto the lid.
Typical materials include nickel alloys such as Kovar, Dilver P and Olin 194, other materials are available on request.
The company's in-house electroplating processes encompass all expected finishes - from electroless nickel, to hard-acid gold and pure-soft gold.
Cost-effective solutions for all volume levels can be supplied - with rapid prototyping available on a five-day turnround.
Tooling costs are low compared to other methods of manufacture and modifications can be quickly and cost-effectively accommodated.
Tecan operates a strict ISO9002 manufacturing regime and can manufacture to UK and overseas military specifications.
The company accepts the following CAD formats: AutoCad DXF and DWG, GraphiCodeCAM PWK and CWK, DPF, Gerber, HPGL, WMF Vector, CorelDraw Vector, Postscript and Iges.
