In 2018, a U.S.-based company specializing in intelligent wall switch systems was looking for a reliable wall switch panel injection mold manufacturer. Their project required not only the development of custom switch panel molds, but also the production of high-quality plastic switch panel parts ready for assembly and mass production.
The key challenge was creating a translucent light-diffusing cover that offered excellent electrical insulation and long-term durability, while maintaining a sleek appearance. At the same time, the design required the precise interlocking of three components: the base shell, the upper shell, and the internal partition.
Previous suppliers had failed due to delays, inconsistent quality, and lack of full-service capability. The client wanted a partner who could provide a complete one-stop molding solution. After evaluating several suppliers, they chose Alpine Mold because of our proven expertise in electronic enclosure molds, ability to handle both tooling and molding under one roof, and our strong track record of on-time delivery with strict quality control.
Alpine Mold began with comprehensive engineering support. Within three days, our team delivered a DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis, Mold Flow simulation, and a complete mold design for the wall switch panel project. These steps ensured manufacturability, minimized production risks, and optimized part performance.
We recommended PC Lexan 945U and PC ML-4120ZHP for their UV resistance, mechanical strength, and excellent insulation properties—ideal for intelligent switch applications. For mold steel, S136 stainless steel was selected to ensure long mold life, corrosion resistance, and superior polishing quality required for mirror finish switch panel molds.
Switch Panel Injection Molding Production
Alpine Mold not only built the molds but also provided custom plastic injection molding services for electronic enclosures. We produced switch panel parts in white (RAL 9003), black (RAL 9004), and translucent white, giving the client both functional and aesthetic options.
For the translucent cover, we used a light-diffusing polycarbonate that combined elegant appearance with electrical insulation. All parts were fully compliant with UL-94 V0 fire safety standards, making them self-extinguishing, drip-free, and safe for electrical applications. This level of quality assurance allowed the client to use the switch panel parts directly in their production line with confidence.
The first batch of 3,000 sets was delivered on time, matching the client’s strict schedule. The translucent switch panels achieved both high aesthetics and functional requirements, while overall product consistency exceeded expectations.
The client was highly satisfied with both the mold performance and injection molded parts, which led to larger orders in the following month. This successful project established a long-term partnership, with Alpine Mold continuing to support additional projects in electronic enclosures and custom plastic injection molding for switch panels.
