Feedhorn incorporates six graphite permanent mould castings including the end cap, housing (which holds the circuit boards), feedhorn, cover (used for shielding) and two mounting probes. ZA-12 alloy provides the components with the necessary strength to withstand the...
The Ericsson GE Mobile Communications’ M-PA personal radio incorporates three Zamak 3 die castings: the chassis or circuit board frame, the chassis shield and the synthesiser housing. These castings combine to provide strength and rigidity demanded for...
Zinc die casting was choosen to produce a new generation of cable connectors. Critical issues that were met include wall strength to assure durability and to withstand bulk processing, proper matching of draft allowances on the internal surfaces for smooth mating and...
Wave guides are built to exacting specifications in dimensional accuracy, straightness and flatness. Hot chamber die casting enables critical cavity sections to be cast with little or no draft; very difficult in aluminium cold chamber die casting. Flatness tolerance...
Zinc die casting was chosen to reduce cost of an antenna base for mobile radio equipment, which originally a brass screw-machined part. Powder metallurgy was evaluated, but couldn’t achieve the required undercuts without machining. Zamak 2 alloy was specified to...
The Whistler Spectrum 3SE waveguide horn is a complex Zamak 3 die casting providing detail, net shape and thin wall construction. The current horn replaces three separate pieces utilised in earlier models. One component now performs four distinct functions–a...
