\n\t\tOver-Molding and Testing Capabilities\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Program Highlights<\/h4>\n

Customer designed a Marine Navigation Electronics device that protected the complete electronics assembly, using Low Flow Pressure Molding (LFPM) techniques. It operates with SiriusXM North America equatorial Satellite System, enabling the user to view current weather conditions, marine zones, and surface buoy reports with NOAA Marine Zone forecasts and NOWRAD.<\/p>\n

The use of low flow plastics is typical for low cost electronics connector component assemblies, but not for complex electronic circuits as was presented to the Vexos team. The product consisted of five PCBAs with cables and wires, plus the cover and base. Seven rounds of testing were required for each unit. Proper temperature and handling methods were defined to hand-solder the extremely thin wires to the board without damaging the insulator of the wires. There was not much room in the cover and base for the wires on the receiver assembly, which made the wire-wrapping process challenging.<\/p>\n

\n

Solution<\/h4>\n

The BOMs and documentation were reviewed and analyzed for build process and cycle times with recommendations to the customer to reconfigure the product structure to maximize assembly time efficiencies. Recommended DFM and product enhancements were incorporated into the design.<\/p>\n

The VEXOS engineering and quality teams, in conjunction with the LFPM equipment manufacturer, developed a multi-stage process to encase the sensitive electronics using LFPM resins that provided the requisite IP protection and the sensitive electronics assembly.<\/p>\n

A complete test strategy was developed to ensure the quality of this product, which included multiple tests on the board level, sub-assembly and the full unit.<\/p>\n

\n

Result<\/h4>\n

The customer acknowledged the complexity of the product, as well as the high-level quality, quick response, and solutions that were delivered.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Over-Molding-Testing-Capabilities\"\n
