SIMTEK EMS - ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING SERVICE
Simtek are capable of supplying mechanical and electromechanical assemblies in support of the other manufacturing processes and assemblies
Explore our comprehensive box build operations, where precision meets innovation through fasteners or ultrasonic welding. Our cable assemblies boast versatility with termination methods like IDC, MTA, RJ, and more.
Dive into a world of electro-mechanical marvels – from tuned helical antennas to speaker-microphone assemblies, battery chargers, and visual display with touchscreen chassis assemblies. We go beyond assembly to ensure quality; complete products can undergo rigorous testing to meet customer specifications. We’re even equipped to craft bespoke test gear for a thorough check of product functional integrity before dispatch.
Step into our advanced facility equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, featuring automatic cut, strip, and crimping machines, as well as torque-controlled electric screwdrivers. Our fully equipped mechanical workshop, complete with milling, drilling, and turning capabilities, is dedicated to crafting precision jigs and fixtures.
Ensuring top-notch quality, our testing arsenal includes a complete set of calibrated multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and portable appliance testers. At Simtek, we’re committed to delivering excellence through cutting-edge equipment and meticulous testing processes.
Ultrasonic Welding
Dive into the world of ultrasonic welding at Simtek, where we seamlessly join plastic parts without the need for glue or fasteners. Our method harnesses vibrational energy to melt the interface between carefully designed parts, ensuring maximum joint strength. The process is not only incredibly fast due to zero cure time but also yields joints as robust as the molded material itself.
While our primary application involves joining battery case halves, our versatile ultrasonic welding process extends to various mechanical assemblies. We offer a cost-effective solution, combining simple components to offset the expense of complex mold tools.
At Simtek, we customize sonotrode and nest tooling to meet individual customer requirements, providing expert advice and guidance on optimal joint designs. Our use of a pencil ultrasonic tool sets us apart, particularly in swaging retaining pins for PCB assemblies. This technique is prevalent in automotive and telecom products, ensuring a secure, permanent fit for circuits within their housings.

Pad Printing
Pad printing is used to mark products with lettering or logos. The process uses a flexible rubber pad to transfer ink from an etched plate on to the product surface. Because the pad is flexible, the surface can be convex, concave or even textured.
The process therefore fits in very neatly in with the Simtek manufacturing philosophy where a product can be directly marked to customer requirements.
Simtek are able to produce etched plates to customer artworks that can be purposefully distorted to give a correct reading result. By using this method we can successfully produce two colour prints onto radio cases, switch buttons and even golf balls.
Battery Pack Manufacturing
Explore Simtek’s diverse range of battery packs tailored for various applications, from marine safety devices and radios to satellite telemetry equipment and asset tracking solutions.
In addition to manufacturing batteries, Simtek excels in producing charger assemblies that perfectly complement our battery offerings.
Our battery chemistry options cater to your specific needs:
- Primary Batteries: Utilizing Lithium or Alkaline cells.
- Rechargeable Batteries: Harnessing NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) or LiPO (Lithium Polymer) cells.
We source battery cells from top-tier suppliers like Energizer, Saft, Duracell, and GP, ensuring premium quality. Thanks to our significant cell consumption, we pass on cost advantages directly to our valued customers.
In the battery pack manufacturing process, individual cells are skillfully combined using nickel strips spot-welded onto the battery terminals. These combined cells are then integrated with wires, thermistors, or terminals before being enclosed or potted within durable plastic cases.
