Produce
1. Raw material preparation
Purchase LED chips (high brightness chips), FPCB flexible boards, silicone rubber materials, conductive wires, connector accessories, etc. Inspect the quality of incoming materials to ensure that all components meet performance standards (such as brightness, voltage, fire rating, etc.).
2. Surface mount technology (SMT)
Attach LED chips and electronic components onto the FPCB flexible circuit board. Use reflow soldering technology to solder components to ensure reliable electrical connections.
3. Welding and Testing
Weld the wire (power cord) onto the FPCB. Preliminary lighting test to check for solder leaks and dead lights in the lamp beads.
4. Encapsulation/ Extrusion coating
Using a Side Bend silicone extrusion molding process, the entire FPCB is wrapped in silicone. Simultaneously complete the shaping and curing of the light strip, ensuring its flexibility, weather resistance, and uniformity of light.
5. Cutting and welding the tail
Cut according to customer requirements and weld the tail seal or joint.
6. Waterproof treatment
Waterproof sealing treatment shall be applied to the joint and tail of the light strip. Some models support IP67~IP68 waterproof rating and require special pressure testing.
7. Aging test
Turn on the light strip for long-term aging (usually 4-8 hours) to test its stability and heat dissipation performance.
8. Quality Inspection and Packaging
Comprehensive quality inspection (appearance, brightness, voltage, current, waterproof performance, etc.). After passing the inspection, proceed with packaging steps such as winding, labeling, bagging, and sealing.
