Silicone assemblies

STC-AS: Overmolded silicone components

The STC-AS assembly combines silicone with one or several additional materials such as plastic or metal. Depending on the application and component geometry, this is accomplished using advanced processes, such as overmolding (using the 2K/3K process), or joining processes. These assemblies are uniquely advantageous because they are manufactured as a one-piece system, which completely eliminates the need for assembly sites. This ensures high dimensional stability and optimum sealing.

More Info about Silicone assemblies STC-AS

Silicone assemblies, particularly in keypad systems and switch contacts, offer versatile and efficient solutions for numerous industrial applications. Their outstanding characteristics make these assemblies well-suited for various applications.

Benefits

The well-conceived combination of silicone with other materials combines the unique, elastic and resilient properties of silicone with the characteristic advantages of the additional material. This synergy enables a large selection of material combinations for customized applications.

Another significant benefit is eliminating the need for complex assembly systems. Integrating several components into a single part makes processes such as clipping or screwing redundant, significantly reducing assembly costs. Furthermore, these assemblies can be functionally combined with other products in the categories of haptics and acoustics, backlighting, electrical contacts, and surfaces.
