TE Connectivity (TE) announced Custom Antennas. The wireless industry demands increased complexity and miniaturization of antennas, combined with a need to integrate a multi-radio environment into one component. TE offers a wide array of customized antenna solutions to accommodate the mechanical constraints of customers’ application, design and manufacture antennas that comply with the most stringent operating requirements, and are a pioneer of customized embedded antenna solutions. TE is expert in the field of molded interconnect device (MID) technology – a tried and true antenna manufacturing method – including laser direct structuring (LDS) which can save valuable space in customers’ application by integrating high frequency, mechanical and electrical functionality into one 3D component.
TE is one of the leading providers of MID technology with more than 25 years mass production experience. TE’s in-house development and manufacturing means TE controls the process and timing from end-to-end and can transition quickly from prototype to mass production and delivering a solution fast to increase the speed to market. In its most basic form, MID technology is defined as a process that results in selectively plated plastic parts. This technology is most often used in three basic ways: electromechanical (signal or current carrying traces), RF technology (antennas), and for shielding applications. MIDs can integrate electrical and mechanical elements into almost any shape of interconnect device allowing entirely new functions to be created while facilitating the miniaturization of products.
As an authorized distributor for TE Connectivity, Heilind Asia provides TE’s products and also value added services. Heilind Asia supports both original equipment and contract manufacturers in all market segments of the electronics industry, stocking products from the industry’s leading manufacturers in 25 component categories, with a particular focus on interconnect, electromechanical, fastener/hardware and sensor products.
