PCB Insert Molding

The process of PCB injection molding involves combining a printed circuit board with plastic to create a single component. This manufacturing method is highly effective in producing durable, high-quality PCB parts that offer superior protection.


In the process of PCB insert molding, which is also commonly referred to as plastic overmolding PCB, a printed circuit board is initially positioned within a mold, following which melted plastic is introduced into the mold cavity at low pressure. After cooling and solidification, a plastic component is discharged from the mold.

How Does PCB Insert Molding Work?

1

Insert PCB into a mold.

2

Start the low-pressure injection molding machine and inject low-pressure injection molding plastic into the mold cavity under low pressure.

3

After cooling and solidifying, the plastic is combined with the PCB.

4

Open the mold and remove the part.

5

Separate the part from the sprue and post processing.

Explain Advantages of PCB Insert Molding

1

Using PCB Insert Molding can help to lower costs and streamline the assembly process.




2

The plastic used in insert molding helps to safeguard the PCB from moisture, dust, and other environmental elements.



3

PCB insert molding improves the durability of the PCB components.



4

Using insert molding is helpful for enhancing the pull strength and strain relief capacity of PCB components.

What Should We Pay Attention to
When PCB Insert Molding?

Challenges we overcome during the PCB Injection Molding process

For some cables, the PCB is often fastened in the shell by injection molding to achieve certain waterproof, ash, and dust proof purposes. One of the disadvantages of injection molding is that the injection temperature is high, which may damage the parts on the PCB; The second disadvantage is that the PCB needs to be placed into the mold first, which will increase the injection molding cycle. However, we have overcome the above technical difficulties, and strictly control the injection molding temperature in PCB injection molding to ensure that PCB is not damaged. Whether it's standard PCB molding or complex injection molding PCBA projects, our process ensures precision and reliability.
