ABSTRACT:
An improved means and method is provided for encapsulating electronic devices and other objects by transfer molding. The mold cavities are arranged in rows, disposed adjacent to and parallel with slot-shaped encapsulant reservoirs, and coupled to the reservoirs by short feeder channels of uniform length. Preferably, a row of cavities is located in a mirror symmetric fashion on either side of and parallel with each slot-shaped reservoir. A tightly fitting blade moves in each slot-shaped reservoir to compress and liquify the plastic encapsulant charge, injecting it into the mold cavities containing the component to be encapsulated. Plastic utilization can exceed 90%, and better control over molding conditions can be obtained because the plastic material reaches each mold cavity at the same stage of the liquification-solidification cycle. More cavities can be fitted in a given mold area because the usual central material pot and runner-tree are eliminated.
