Matrix Inc

Micron tolerance plastic injection molding

matrix first entered the fiber optic and opto-electronics market in 1981, when we successfully participated in developing a process to produce elastomeric splices for individual fiber optic cable conductors. The molding of biconic, single mode connector components followed in 1984, including bulkhead housings, build-out barrels, receptacles and other critical components. Ultimately, this background led us to become the leading manufacturer of high volume LC TOSA & ROSA barrels, integrated lenses and micro-lens array moldings.

We recently helped a customer develop an MT style, low profile, right-angle micro-lens array for a transceiver application. The all plastic component utilizes a 1 X 12 array of lenses on a 250µm pitch on both sides, with a mirror to provide total internal reflection.

We have also expanded our capabilities into producing sophisticated lenses, prisms and light pipe components for various companies. This includes the capability of producing highly polished surfaces for ease in applying various mirror coatings, such as gold, silver, aluminum, and anti-reflective coatings.

matrix also supplies off-the-shelf and custom Strain Relief Boots. Call us and order the matrix 900 Micron Strain Relief Boot, MX-125 molded from Sarlink 4370. Custom sizes and configurations are also available with a modest tooling charge.
