Board Level RF Screening Cans and Component Security Devices...
At Hitec we can provide rapid prototytpe and full production volumes of RF screening components. Our screening cans have assisted many of Europe's technology companies achieve the design they need and to meet the necessary RF compliance and performance.

Made to your specifications, our screening components are easy to assemble, robust and cost effective with good all round sheilding capabilities.

At Hitec we only use the latest CAD technology. We can work from the design files that you provide or we can create the engineering drawing for you. Once we have this information, we can feed this into our CNC machines to provide a rapid turn around.

Our CNC laser cutter enables us to undertake complex sheet metalwork without the need for the timely and costly development of tooling. Our folding and punching machines are also CNC controlled. At Hitec we have a philosophy of ensuring that our initial machine programming and manufacturing process is perfect, this enables us to provide our customers with high volume production at competitive pricing and a consistent high quality.

Component Security Device

Hitec have been developing RF Cans for the past twelve years. Intial customers included Ionica, GPT and Harris Broadcast, since then, Hitec has been inlvolved in developing and manufacturing a range of RF Cans for the technology sector.

An important aspect of Hitec's design is that their devices are made from 0.6mm mild steel using a CAD/CAM manufacturing process. The alternative method for RF Can manufacture is to use a much thinner material and a chemical etching process. In this respect, Hitec cans have proven to be far more robust and ideal for use as component security devices, as the chemically etch alternatives can easily be distorted and prized open.

As component security devices, Hitec manufacture a completely enclosed box that can be soldered securely onto the PCB. Often this might be to protect components such as Eproms or other such programmable chips that may be holding data critical to the performance and/or security of the system.

In critical circuits that may need tuning by a technician, the entire circuit can be protected by such a metal enclosure but with small holes that will allow very limited access to enable the adjustment of potentiometers or the point measurement of reference voltages. Such metal box components will help protect the circuit from accidental damage during repeated calibration procedures.

Another application for this type of component is to stop external RF effecting critical circuits. Probably the best example would be in automotive applications where the HT circuits can generate considerable RF and the risk of failure due to interference must be minimised.
