Injection tooling for electronics

Enclosures, covers and handheld housings, where the tooling problems are sealing faces, snap latches and apertures that must not flash.

Electronics housings are the largest group in the TJ-Teck reference parts. An enclosure with a moulded sealing lip, a fascia cover with a printed mark, a keypad cover full of apertures and a handheld handle all appear in the current range.

The engineering work concentrates on three features that decide whether an electronics housing is accepted: the continuity of the sealing face, the survivability of aperture shut-offs, and the consistency of a printed or textured surface.

What matters here

Four things this sector gets wrong most often

1

Sealing faces on a single piece of steel

Where the geometry allows, the gasket contact face is kept off any parting line or insert joint, because a witness line across a seal is the standard cause of an ingress complaint.

2

Shut-offs built to last a production run

Every aperture is formed by steel touching off between the two halves. Touch-off angles and the steel behind them are reviewed as a named DFM item.

3

Decoration treated as part of the tool

Pad printing fixtures are machined from the same CAD data as the cavity, so the print position does not drift as sample parts wear.

4

Component brands your service team already stocks

Mould bases and components from Hasco, DME, Meusburger, Misumi and the rest, so a tool that ends up in your own plant is maintainable there.
