Emc Protection For Plastic Housings

With the introduction of a fully automated, robotic coating production plant, HARTING can plate a variety of different plastic housings. The innovative process utilizes arc spray technology with zinc as the coating metal. Zinc is a highly conductive material that, when applied with high layer thickness through the coating process, provides a performance similar to that of full metal hoods. It creates a plating surface that is robust and also offers outstanding attenuation values. Additionally it is possible to solder directly on the coated plastic. The process offers the ability to coat a wide range of plastics in everyday use. A wide portfolio of sizes can be coated ranging from parts the size of a coin, to items such as mobile phone covers and monitors, to applications as large as passenger cabins. A flexible manufacturing system allows for easy set up to meet small prototyping and development batch requirements, all the way through to high volume production needs.
