Welding electronic components
If soldering is not an option due to increased temperature requirements, strong vibrations or high mechanical stress, micro TIG welding is the ideal technology for joining sensitive components in electronics. With a Lampert welding machine, you can weld contact wires, busbars as well as sockets and housings for connectors on circuit boards and electronic components.
The high precision and low heat-affected zone protect sensitive components from damage.
Welding bracket for plug sockets
If you want to reliably fix sockets for plug connections in a small space, there is no way around a Lampert welding machine.
Swiss engineer Ken Pillonel has set his sights on improving the repairability of electronic devices and has taken on Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro. The starting point was a defective battery that had paralyzed his AirPods and which, according to the manufacturer, cannot be replaced.
Not only has he managed to install a new rechargeable battery in the housing of the AirPods, thereby significantly extending their service life. He also took the opportunity to convert the Lightning connector to USB-C so that the AirPods can be easily charged via USB. Ken Pillonel now manufactures the conversion kits himself and also sells them in small series.
To fix the USB-C socket to the holder, a Micro Arc Welder from Lampert is used. Precision, low heat input and a homogeneous welded joint are crucial when welding electronic parts. These requirements exactly match the strengths of Lampert welding technology.
Welding cable strands and welding housings
With Lampert welding technology, contact wires of electronic components can be joined together easily, reliably and permanently. In the application video, you can see the welding of contacts of sensor elements as well as the production of protective housing parts for sensitive small circuit boards and sensors.
Welding sensors and contact wires
With Lampert welding technology, contact wires of electronic components can be connected together easily, reliably and permanently. In the application video you can see
a) the simple welding of wires to metallic surfaces
b) the welding of fine contact wires of electronic sensor elements
c) the welding of a special sensor housing in engine development
Welding bushes and slots
Do you manufacture your own electronic components individually or in small batches and also produce the connections yourself? Our technology is ideal for reliably welding slots and sockets without distortion and without damaging the material. The picture shows a brass Micro Arc Welder welded USB-C brass socket.
Welding battery cells
Laser welding, resistance welding and wire bonding are well-known technologies for the electrical contacting of battery cells. But did you know that it is also cheaper and easier with a Lampert welding machine? Whether copper-containing or nickel-based alloys or even gold-plated contacts – a Lampert welding machine is also the tool of choice for welding battery cells in customized battery production.
Welding sensors and thermocouples
Sensors, especially thermocouples (temperature sensors), cannot be electrically contacted with a soldered connection under all operating conditions, as conventional solder liquefies at temperatures above 220° and the sensor therefore loses electrical contact. Riveting or crimping is also not always possible, especially when there are high requirements for vibration resistance and materials with different temperature expansion coefficients.
With Lampert’s micro TIG welding technology, you can easily weld sensors and thermocouples. This allows you to create a reliable electrical connection that is largely insensitive to temperature changes as well as mechanical and chemical influences. Welding is one of the most resistant and durable methods of electrical contacting for sensors and thermocouples. With a Lampert welding device, you can weld even the thinnest contact wires down to just 0.1 mm.
Welding the sensor housing
Customized thermal sensors require a temperature-resistant and leak-proof housing that is resistant to external influences. With Lampert welding technology, you can easily and simply produce sensor housings in any desired shape. Even thin-walled sensor housings with a wall thickness of just 0.2 to 0.3 mm are no problem.
Whether for research projects, new developments or metrological challenges: With a Lampert welding machine, you can produce customized sensor housings. It is not necessary to remove the sensor, as it is not damaged during welding due to the small heat-affected zone of our micro TIG welding technology.
