Electronic Connector

View

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.

Electronic Housing

View

First Place, 2018 EU Zinc Die Casting Competition The housing is cast with extremely thin walls of up to 0.5 millimeters – in the cast thread with an incline of even up to 0.2 millimeters – wall thickness and thus places the highest demands on toolmaking...

Housing for HSD Connector

View

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...

Housing for low voltage angle gear drive

View

This casting is a segment of a multi-piece gearbox for 24/48 volt engines. The cost pressure in the market segment prompted the designers to rethink. A cost-effective production method for manufacturing the individual components that does not require any further...

Remote car release key, design elements

View

People carry this cast part with them in many variations: a design element of the car key. The demand for a high-quality look, an appealing, cool feel and the requirements for a robust, largely scratch-resistant surface led to the decision to use zinc as a material....
