Feedhorn incorporates six graphite permanent mold castings, including the end cap, housing (which holds the circuit boards), feedhorn, cover (used for shielding), and two mounting probes. ZA-12 alloy provides the components with the necessary strength to withstand the...
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...
Zinc die casting was chosen to produce this new generation of cable connectors. Critical standards that were met include wall strength to assure durability and to withstand bulk processing and proper matching of draft allowances on the internal surfaces for smooth...
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...
Zinc die casting was chosen to reduce cost of an antenna base for mobile radio equipment, which was originally a brass screw-machined part. Powder metallurgy was evaluated, but it couldn’t achieve the required undercuts without machining. Zamak 2 alloy was specified...
Plug connections in electrical engineering are highly complex components that have to be delicate yet stable due to the space available. Added to this is the shielding function of different conductors in the housing. The award-winning shield housing is a true...
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...
