Frets and Harnesses

PRECISION MICRO has been involved in this exercise from an early date and has produced many such items that will help increase car efficiency for many years to come.

Automotive applications include current distribution boxes, harnesses, lighting frets and contacts, control circuitry and ‘power electronics’ devices

Many other industrial machines are powered using higher voltages and have similar requirements for electrical distribution components… requirements met effectively by PRECISION MICRO’s combination of manufacturing technologies.

Many prototypes have been made using 3Dpc technology as the preferred manufacturing option, where components are profiled by Photo Etching and formed using modular press tooling. Larger quantities may be manufactured more efficiently by a combination of etch profiling and progressive forming with a multi-stage press tool. Where leads are required to be kept in position during plastic encapsulation a salvage bar (either half etched or semi sheared) can be left outside the encapsulated area for subsequent manual removal.

Flexibility in manufacturing

• A wide range of design types can be realised using PRECISION MICRO’s manufacturing technology.
• 3Dpc technology can reduce lead times for prototypes and initial quantities.

• The initial use of 3Dpc technology with low cost photo and modular tooling, requires little initial investment and reduces lead times removing an element of marketing risk.
• Designs can be optimised without incurring a significant cost penalty.
