The customer approached Advanex with the need to develop a connector that prevented damage from solder scattering during assembly. They needed an easy way of protecting the expensive electronic device from damage.
The creativity of Advanex engineers and their proven technology made it possible to find an ideal solution. To prevent the scattering of solder during assembly, it would be useful to integrate a cover into the product. The cover should not hinder the soldering process, and removal of the cover once the component is installed needed to be easy with no risk of damage to the rest of the device.
To do this the cover needed to be attached securely but be delicate enough to allow easy removal. The main factor was the material thickness of the joint portion.
The ideal thickness could not be calculated but the engineer was able to achieve optimum performance through his own judgement.
To manufacture the product, Advanex used our double insert moulding technology. This approach to solving the problem has been passed onto Advanex staff to demonstrate the importance of creativity in finding a solution.
Advanex are proud to have developed a product that is still important to the client 15 years later.
