What’s New?

Last month HITEK Electronic Materials exhibited at the Engineering Design Show 2016, in Coventry, an eagerly awaited show for those who are interested in the innovation of electronics, engineering and embedded design.  We had a great time meeting new people, catching up with old friends and enjoyed the opportunity to showcase our solutions first-hand.

This month HITEK are exhibiting at the LAPC, the Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference, from the 14th to the 15th of November. We hope to introduce you to our company and demonstrate our knowledge and experience of microwave/radar absorber materials and how they can give exceptional performance when facing RF radiation across VHF, UHF, microwave and millimetre wave frequencies in antenna applications. Our stand will be manned by Mo Khan and David McAllister, our Business Development Manager and Technical Manager (respectively), you can find them both at Stand D6.

We are also excited to announce HITEK have gained the Cyber Essentials accreditation, meaning we are compliant with the MoD’s new standard – Cyber Security for Defence Suppliers (Defence Standard 05-138), ensuring we take Cyber Security seriously and take preventative actions to reduce the threat from cyber-attacks.

What Sets HITEK Apart?

We accommodate to you, whether it’s aiding you in finding a solution (EMC compliancy, thermal stability, environmental factors), the diversities in which we manufacture your product (e.g. flat-stamping, kiss-cut, form in place gaskets), the volumes you require (down-packing on consumables and rapid service for small and production batch volumes) or if time is of the essence (aircraft on ground, production on hold, etc.). At HITEK our Ethos is Yes; our team will help you find a solution.

Our services include HITEK’s innovative gasket design tool & in-house gasket proto-type service.

This tool is designed to give an accurate, versatile, graphical solution to designing gasket in groove applications. Allowing you to design the basic groove, match a Chomerics elastomer extrusion to an existing groove, analyse the work needed for completion, calculate values for compression & deflection and highlight stocked materials. Groove profiles are;

• Standard U
• Half & Full Dovetail
• Tongue in groove.

HITEK’s free EMC gasket service to EMC Test Houses enables you to meet EMC requirements, offering next day delivery to Test Houses (when details are received before mid-day and required material is stocked).
