Molex recently announced that they have shipped the 20 millionth antenna manufactured by LDS technology. "We have been involved in the development of molded interconnect devices for ten years, and played a part in the breakthrough of this technology on the market,” says Ellen Maassen, Antenna Business Unit Director at Molex Inc.
Maassen added that the company is now enjoying the continuous rise in demand for these efficient and economical components. LDS technology today has overtaken the previous standard methods, and Molex uses it to produce several million components a month. There are already plans to expand the production capacity further.
The LDS method developed by the specialist German laser company LPKF Laser & Electronics AG uses single component injection molded parts as the starting material. A laser beam takes only a few seconds to write the electronic circuit layout on the surface of the plastic component. The structure activated in this way is then metallized.
