Overview
An electronic module housing is the molded shell that holds a small board and closes it against the outside. It is molded in two parts: a body with an open top, and a cover on the join line, with a metal badge set into its face.
The two parts meet on a line that runs around the side, so the seam falls below the badge rather than across it, and the face stays clear where a hand goes. The badge is placed in the tool and the plastic closes around its edge, so an electronic module housing carries its plate flush, with the rim covered instead of standing on the surface.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two part shell: body and cover meet on one line
- Seam below the badge: the face stays clear
- Metal badge set in the tool: the plastic closes over its rim
- Flush face: no edge stands proud where a hand goes
- Matte body: small marks do not read across it
An electronic module housing comes off the tool with the badge seat at the same depth each shot, so the metal drops in flush on every part.
Customization Options
- Outline: length, width and corner radius
- Height and wall
- Join: screw bosses, snap hooks or a tongue and groove
- Badge: size, shape, metal and seat depth
- Openings: button, lamp window or connector cut at one end
- Board bosses: count, height and thread
- Color: charcoal, black or a matched shade
The badge can be brass, aluminum or a coated steel, and its seat can be molded to a shape that is not round. A second insert can be set in the base, so an electronic module housing carries a plate on either face.
Quality & Delivery
Tooling for an electronic module housing is cut in our own mold shop, and the first article is gauged against your 3D file, badge seat depth and join line included, before the run.
Mold faces are polished to the sheen your 3D file calls for, the gate is trimmed flush, and the insert seat comes off clean, so every electronic module housing takes its plate without a step at the rim. Lead time is quoted with the unit price and held to the date, and each batch is gauged before packing.
We mold every electronic module housing to your 3D file, so the shell, the seat and the openings follow the model. Send the 3D file for a quotation with the tool cost and the unit price.
