The Ericsson GE Mobile Communications’ M-PA personal radio incorporates three Zamak 3 die castings: the chassis or circuit board frame, the chassis shield, and the synthesizer housing. These castings combine to provide strength and rigidity demanded for...
Micro-informatics are already an integral part of business and professional life. The will soon be present everywhere, including the home. What role do zinc alloys play? This back cover for a microcomputer illustrates how zinc die castings can simplify design and...
The part has the following attributes: One of this part’s highlights is its functionality—it allows one single part in Zamak for electrical connection (interface) and mechanical (coding + retention). It also has a connector function, which allows for the transmission...
MICROPAX connectors have very demanding specifications which are met by zinc die casting, including: Complex design requirements to accommodate a variety of connectors, ranging from 40 to 200 connecting pins; flatness across the mounting plane within +/- 0.005 in, and...
The key benefits to this product’s design was a close cooperation between die caster and customer through a clipping system. It utilizes modern assembling technology, and because it does not involve a screw, creep is not a risk.
This HSD connector (HSD = high speed data) is a part of the control units in upper segment cars. The 4-pin connector assures large volume of data transfer as compared to the standard connector with only 1 pin. The required tolerances for this miniature part are...
Wave guides are built to exacting specifications in dimensional accuracy, straightness, and flatness. Hot chamber die casting enables critical cavity sections to be cast with little or no draft; very difficult in aluminium cold chamber die casting. Flatness tolerance...
The Whistler Spectrum 3SE waveguide horn is a complex Zamak 3 die casting providing detail, net shape, and thin wall construction. The current horn replaces three separate pieces utilized in earlier models. One component now performs four distinct functions: a horn...
