Printed electronics
Printing electrical components, the future technology of the 21st century!
Through the binder process different electrical components can be produced using printing technology!
At binder, we are breaking new ground in electronics production.
As a circular connector manufacturer, binder has expanded its core expertise in recent years to include printed electronics. This offers the possibility of producing printed sensors, printed heaters, printed conductor tracks, etc. With specially researched and developed printing processes and a high level of vertical integration, binder products can be customised to meet individual customer requirements. all from one source.
Through direct printing, binder functionalises existing mechanics and can make them intelligent or speak for themselves.
The ITZ works permanently with university partners and partner companies to generate innovative solutions to challenges that arise in printed electronics and the overall product.

The IHK Research Transfer Award in Silver, valued at 5,000 euros, & was awarded to Elisabeth Warsitz, Franz Binder GmbH & Co. Elektrische Bauelemente KG, Bad Rappenau, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Edgar Dörsam, Institute for Printing Machines and Printing Processes, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Hofmann, Department of Integrated Electronic Systems at the Technical University of Darmstadt. With the ‘ELSE - 3D gravure printing process for electronics’ project, they have researched and applied a process with which functional layers can be applied using an indirect gravure printing process (pad printing). This allows functional layers to be printed on 3D moulds.’
