When Precision, Compliance, and Responsiveness Matter
In the electronics sector, plastic isn’t just packaging – it’s protection, insulation, and user interface all in one. From PCB housings and control panels to cable glands and device enclosures, high-quality plastic components are essential to product performance.
But finding the right electronics plastic injection moulding company isn’t easy. Your chosen partner must meet tight tolerances, support regulatory compliance, and offer the flexibility to scale with your business.
At Stephens Plastic Mouldings, we’ve spent decades helping electronics manufacturers in the UK and Europe bring robust, moulded components to market – from prototyping to full production.
What to Look for in an Electronics Moulding Partner
1. Precision Engineering Capabilities
Electronics parts often require:
- Wall thicknesses under 1mm.
- Snap fits or press-fit sections.
- Insert moulding for PCB standoffs or terminals.
- Fine texturing for touch points.
Our tooling and moulding teams use advanced CNC-machined moulds and machines from 25T to 470T to meet these tolerances – whether you need 500 or 500,000 parts.
2. Flame-Retardant and Antistatic Materials
We source certified plastics including:
- UL94-V0 flame retardant ABS and PC.
- Electrically conductive or static-dissipative polymers.
- UV-stabilised polymers for outdoor electronics.
Every material is traceable and selected to meet ROHS, REACH, and customer-specific specs.
3. Electronics Design Consultation
We’ll review your CAD files to check:
- Wall thickness for uniform moulding.
- Undercuts and draft angles.
- Insert compatibility.
- Assembly method options (screws, clips, ultrasonic welding).
Our DFM reviews reduce the risk of warp, sink, or tooling rework – saving you time and cost.
Examples of Electronics Projects We Support
- Custom sensor housings.
- Smart home device enclosures.
- Industrial switch covers.
- Lighting diffusers and mounts.
- PCB casing and mounting brackets.
- Thermoplastic rubber (TPR/TPE) overmoulded grips or seals.
Whether you’re a startup developing IoT hardware or an established OEM upgrading a product line, we tailor our services to your spec.
Value-Add Services for Electronics Clients
Stephens Plastic Mouldings offers more than moulding:
- Insert Moulding: embed threaded brass, PCB supports or metal pins.
- Assembly & Packaging: snap-together housings, screw posts, kitting.
- Pad Printing & Branding: custom logos, part numbers, instructions.
- Inventory Management: call-off scheduling and flexible order volumes.
FAQs for Electronics Buyers
1. Can you mould flame-retardant enclosures for electronic components?
Yes. We mould in certified UL94 V-0 plastics like ABS-PC blends and supply test data to meet your regulatory needs.
2. What tolerances can you achieve for PCB housings and mounts?
We typically hold ±0.1 mm depending on geometry, with tighter tolerances available after review and tool testing.
3. Do you support overmoulding or insert moulding for connectors or terminals?
Absolutely. We can mould around metal or threaded inserts, cable glands, or custom contacts to reduce assembly steps.
4. Can Stephens Plastic help optimise my electronics CAD design for moulding?
Yes. Our engineering team offers DFM reviews to help you avoid undercuts, sink marks, or wall thinning before tooling.
5. What’s your minimum order quantity for electronics moulding?
We support both low-volume production and mass manufacturing, with flexible tooling options for pilot runs or full-scale output.
