→Continuous Strip Over-Molding
== Continuous Strip Over-Molding==
In strip form over-molded contact parts reduce the complexity of assembly of the finished product. This complexity constantly increases with adding additional subcomponents ''<xr id="fig:Examples of strip over molded contact components"/> (Fig. 10.2)''.
The strip over-molded contact parts can be tested for various quality parameters during manufacturing to continuously ensure the ever increasing reliability requirements of the end components.
Combining stamping and molding techniques in an automated production line allows the stamped contact parts to be molded into plastics as a complete functional unit. This also allows to reduce manufacturing tolerances to levels below those achievable with conventional assembly methods.
