HYBRID HOUSINGS FOR APPLI­CATIONS IN POWER ELECTRO­NICS

Today’s machines can “think”. More than thirty years ago, this was only a dream. Now it has become a reality, made possible by a revolution in the field of semiconductors. Semiconductors and sensors help to provide precise control of all types of machines, from automotive engines to machine tools, allowing them to make continuous adjustments through the acquisition, analysis, and control of environmental data. But the semiconductor “brain” cannot do all this alone. It needs a housing that can act as the interface to the machine.

Hybrid frames have their application here. These frames act as an interface for integrated electronics that transfer both: signals and energy. The signal transfer is accomplished through aluminum or gold wire bonding. The hybrid frame also houses selectively plated, custom connectors, that enable the completion of the signal transfer. DODUCO is a market leader in hybrid frame engineering, especially for automotive applications. We are the largest European source for cladded aluminum, the preferred surface for aluminum wire bonding. We also offer a variety of other plated and clad surfaces such as silver, nickel, gold palladium and tin.

Through decades of experience in the manufacture of hybrid frames, DODUCO can offer outstanding applications advice in the selection of the most suitable contact surfaces and surface treatments. Additionally, our product development engineers will custom design a process to support our customers in all phases of hybrid frame construction, resulting in the highest quality hybrid frames at a favorable cost.

From design consultation, to development and production, DODUCO provides its customers with a complete capability package for hybrid frames, used to provide energy for machines and equipment.

STRIP MOLDED PARTS

Increased functionality means increased complexity in a large variety of automotive, consumer and telecommunication applications. As more parts are introduced into the assembly process, the complexity of the manufacturing processes also increases, demanding higher quality requirements.

Strip molded contact parts from DODUCO can reduce this complexity. Many components assembled from two or more parts can now be integrated in a single functional assembly that consists of one stamped contact part over-molded in plastic material. Combining the stamping and molding technologies into an automated, inline manufacturing process, enables DODUCO to maintain the highest quality standards while optimizing efficiency. This specialized approach to insert molded contact parts allows the attainment of tighter manufacturing tolerances that far exceed the standard for conventional assembly techniques.

DODUCO, the one shop solution –
also for press-fit contacts.
n Own prototype tools for quick supply of samples
n Own tool shop
n Own galvanic plating lines
n Own laboratory for the qualification of new tools

In addition to the full portfolio of the EloPin®, which is established on the
market, we offer the EON Flex Pressfit Pin 1.20, a pin optimized for cost
and flexibility according to the latest IPC9797. This is characterized by low
material consumption (0.4 mm strip thickness) while maximizing the flexibility
at the same time.
