Heat Staking

Heat staking works well with many difficult thermoplastics including the glass-filled plastics used in medical devices, automotive, appliances, telecom, electronics and consumer products.

The heat staking process can be used in a variety of applications including:

  • Panel assemblies
  • Joining printed circuit boards to plastic housing
  • Joining electronic components to plastic housing
  • Medical device assembly

The most common resins used in heat staking are:

  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Polystyrene (PS)
  • Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
  • Nylons (GFN or Nylon 6/6)
  • Ultem (GFN or Nylon 6/6)

If you are designing a part that will be joined to another, contact Ferriot to determine if heat staking is the right solution for your project.
