SAN JOSE, Calif. - (Business Wire) Shocking Technologies, Inc. announced today that they are moving to their new location at 5870 Hellyer Ave, San Jose, CA. The new facility, which is 51,000 square ft, will house Shocking
’s nanotechnology research and development labs as well as the company
’s manufacturing for its X
Static™ voltage switchable dielectric material; which when properly designed into a PCB or Semiconductor package X
Static™ can protect electronic products up to 30KV from electrostatic discharge. The company has now successfully demonstrated the technology in cell phones, memory devices, and semiconductor packages.
“We are very excited to be moving into our new home in San Jose. The customer response to our material has been exceptional and with the key markets we address being very large it is time to bring our larger scale manufacturing online. While we will continue to house some of our development at our partner Sanmina-SCI, who helped us incubate the technology, it is important we make the next step and put in large scale manufacturing for our materials to insure our customers adequate supply as we grow,” said Lex Kosowsky, President & CEO.
The new facility will house a state of the art analytical lab, our nanotechnology development lab, large scale XStatic™ polymer manufacturing, as well as space for further application development of our VSDM. The plant will also house the company’s sales and administrative offices.
About Shocking Technologies, Inc.
Shocking Technologies, Inc. is a privately held, venture-backed company developing Voltage Switchable Dielectric™ (VSD™) materials. A VSD™ material is a polymer nano-composite that behaves like an insulator (dielectric) during normal circuit operation and becomes conductive when the voltage across the VSD™ material increases beyond a predefined threshold voltage. After the voltage drops below the threshold again, it switches back to an insulator. This unique property, coupled with the ability to tailor the response of the material, opens up several new areas in electronics. The first application being introduced enables embedded electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packages. Subsequent applications will usher in new manufacturing processes as well as novel product designs. More information regarding the company is available at www.shockingtech.com.
