For applications and materials which do not allow strip over-molding, semi or fully automated assembly processes can be utilized. Different single parts, like printed circuit boards, stamped parts or contact components are assembled together with plastic molded parts on specialized equipment to complete functional components with low tolerances and high levels of functionality (<xr id="fig:Examples of assembled contact components"/><!--(Fig. 10.3)-->). This also allows to integrate components which otherwise are difficult to mount onto circuit boards or carriers, such as capacitors, coils or sensor elements into the functional component assembly. Contact parts used in these components are already tested on the assembly machine for quality parameters and functionality.
