Leadframe / Insert Molded Parts

Accumold's tooling and automation systems for lead frame molded parts and insert applications are second to none. Components can be singulated and shipped bulk, or tape-and-reel to our customers. The MEMS and IC packaging industries benefit from this specialized capability.

Lead frame packaging technology requires the combination of high quality metal lead frame companies that produce some of the most intricate designs. Using Accumold's unique technology, we can mold plastic on and around all different types of metal, tin, copper, silver, and gold to form an air gap seal. Some of these processes produce completed parts while others are ready for further processing by the customer.

Lead Frame Molding

Manufacturing lead frame molded parts requires fabrication of a system to feed the metal lead frame into the machine and to extract the complete component from the metal after the plastic has been molded to it. Our systems designers are experts in fabricating a trouble free and efficient system to mold the most sophisticated lead frame molded parts.

Insert Molding

Insert micro-molding is where an existing or previously manufactured part is molded in and around a wide variety of materials from metals and glass to other plastics. The image to the left shows an example of advanced insert molding capabilities where a delicate filter was molded into a plastic housing. This required the mold to be built in such a precise fashion so that the insert material was not destroyed in the process while keeping the tolerances tight within the part itself. These parts are similar to 2-shot molding parts.
