Overmolding Services
Advanced Protection for Electronic Assemblies
PICA Manufacturing Solutions provides advanced overmolding services to enhance the durability, protection, and functionality of electronic assemblies. Using durable thermoplastic or elastomeric materials, our overmolding process encapsulates PCBs, connectors, and wire harnesses—creating a sealed, ruggedized layer that protects against moisture, vibration, strain, and environmental exposure.
By integrating overmolded electronics into your design, you can reduce the need for secondary enclosures, streamline product assembly, and improve long-term reliability in demanding applications. From functional prototypes to high-volume runs, PICA delivers custom solutions built for the mechanical and environmental challenges of modern electronic systems.
