SelectConnect Technologies Offers White Paper on Sensor Manufacturing Using LDS
June 19, 2017 | SelectConnect TechnologiesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
SelectConnect Technologies has published the white paper, “Laser Direct Structuring for Sensor Manufacturing.” The white paper details how sensor technology employing laser direct structuring (LDS) results in reduced manufacturing costs, while increasing the physical strength and durability of a position sensor.
Millions of electronic components with complex geometries are manufactured each year through the use of LDS to create circuit traces directly on three-dimensional molded interconnect devices (3D-MID). In addition to position sensors, LDS is used to manufacture temperature, motion, pressure, flow and optical sensors, as well as security shields, medical devices and antennas for automotive, military/aerospace and telecommunications industries.
