As part of The Otter Group we manufacture motor protection switches for Otter Controls. The V series is a versatile bimetal switch, available either as a thermostat or thermal/current sensing safety cut-out. The V series operates as a thermostat with a narrow ±2°C differential, or a thermal safety cut-out with a ±5°C differential. The V series is auto-resetting, has a 13A rating, is highly robust and meets worldwide approvals. It can be provided in a wide variety of covers with venting and fixing options.

Via our sister company Ferro Techniek, Otter Controls also offer kettle controls with integrated thick film elements for improved energy efficiency.

Our range of inserts can be used in many different materials with different insertion methods.

Our conventional Through Hole Component assembly facility is staffed with highly experienced assemblers who have access to a comprehensive range of component forming, placement and cropping tools and machinery. Soldering is either by hand or automated wave soldering as appropriate to the board complexity and batch size. The wave soldering machine is microprocessor controlled and operates within precisely controlled parameters using ‘no clean’ minimal residue fluxes to provide reliable high throughput production.

Hand and automated through hole services

Skilled operators and guided assembly workstations ensure through-hole parts are placed right first time.

We offer fully automated selective soldering with guided placement and dual sided AOI

Tin is a soft, malleable, silvery-white metal that is available in abundance throughout many parts of the world. Tin-plating is used extensively to protect both ferrous and nonferrous surfaces. It provides sacrificial protection for copper, nickel and other non-ferrous metals, but not for steel. Tin plating is a non-toxic, ductile and corrosion resistant finish. Tin plating has applications in the electronics industry because of its ability to protect the base metal from oxidisation, therefore preserving solderability. TPG have a number of processes available (either dull / matt or bright) to electroplate tin using jigs, barrel and selective / all over reel to reel plating.

TiZr is shorthand for the titanium zirconium passivation process applied to aluminium components. This removes the natural oxide layer and replaces it with a stable, chemically modified ‘shield’ layer. Passivation is also referred to as conversion coating. TiZr passivation creates a stable surface which will allow bonding and welding processes to deliver repeatable, strong, durable adhesive bonds. This conversion coating process also provides a stable base for powder coating and offers additional protection against corrosion. As the first metal treatment provider in the UK to install TiZr as a chrome-free passivation process (since 2001), Powdertech Surface Science is the most experienced outsource TiZr pre-treatment provider in the country with an unrivalled body of knowledge. We use the latest Gardobond® systems for TiZr passivation and apply it to aluminium components (cast, extruded or formed) to enhance adhesive durability for metal-to-metal bonding and welding. Powdertech TiZr matches anodising for enhanced adhesive bonding. Extensive testing shows that the stable, protective passivation layer achieved through Powdertech TiZr matches the performance of anodising for durability of adhesive joints. TiZr pre-treatment has a faster lead time than anodising, uses less energy and is a more cost-effective and environmentally appropriate process than anodising.
