Consumer Electronics

Consumer electronics demand injection molding capabilities that combine precision, thin walls, high cosmetic standards, and functional integration. This guide covers key considerations for electronics enclosures and components.

Key Applications

• Phone cases & enclosures: PC, PC/ABS, thin-wall molding (0.8-1.2mm)
• Display bezels: High cosmetic standards, Class A surfaces
• Connector housings: LCP, PBT for high-temp reflow soldering
• Battery casings: Flame-retardant PC/ABS, UL 94 V-0 rated
• Wearable device enclosures: Overmolding with soft-touch elastomers

Special Requirements

• Thin-wall molding: Flow length ratios up to 200:1 require high-speed injection
• EMI shielding: Conductive coatings or conductive fillers (stainless steel, nickel-coated graphite)
• Cosmetic surfaces: Textured, glossy, or soft-touch finishes with no visible flow lines or gate marks
• Insert molding: Metal inserts for threaded fasteners, contacts, and heat sinks
