Tooling:
Our 30 years of accomplishments insure consistent results. Costs are  very dependent upon cavity configuration.

  • The RYNITE, Ryton and ZYTEL are thermoplastics with faster molding press time
  • Farboset and Fiberite are Thermoset materials
  • Norcast 3259, 2 part liquid epoxy, is the slowest of the Encapsulant processes The material requires vacuum impregnating and oven time

Other Considerations:

  • Heat dissipation- Farboset 1115 dissipates heat approximately 3 times faster than most engineered thermoplastics plastics
  • Coils using magnet wire finer than 38 AWG benefit from using the gentle pressures used in thermoset transfer molding
  • Special design techniques are required Injection molding coils with integrated electronics( diodes, varistors, TVS).  These components need to be protected from high pressure
  • Overmolded water resistant coils use design  techniques to minimize weeping at lead/ terminal area
  • Explosion proof coils are designed with exacting verification that all air has been pushed out
  • Our thermoset, Farboset 1115, proprietary, will mold thinner wall sections than most thermo plastics
