Occam’s approach to circuit assembly and circuitization are unique. Occam or SAFE (Solderless Assembly For Electronics) reimagines and redefines how component interconnections are designed, assembled and circuitized. Inherently, Occam solderless assemblies offer greater product reliability, fewer potential process errors, a smaller product footprint while removing a significant number of process steps.
With Occam, components are first attached to a “component board” and tested before encapsulation and circuitization, ensuring that all Occam assemblies are known good at the outset. There are several methods for adding component connections including traditional plating techniques, additive printed circuits (printed electronics) among others.
The Occam Process does not require high temperature assembly, therefore reliability issues related to high temperatures are eliminated.
As electronics push toward miniaturization, higher reliability, and greener manufacturing, a solder-free assembly paradigm is gaining serious traction among design engineers.
