China's Leading PCB Maker, Founder PCB, Certified on Shocking Technologies' Unique ESD Protection Solution
ZHUHAI, CHINA, Feb 29, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Shocking Technologies, Inc., the developer of a breakthrough
patented polymer nano-composite for protecting electronic products
from electrostatic discharge (ESD), announced that Founder PCB, one
of the largest suppliers of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in China,
has been certified to produce PCBs that utilize Shocking Tech's
innovative Voltage Switchable Dielectric(TM) (VSD) material. The
certification follows a period of successful evaluation of Shocking
Tech's XStatic(TM) VSD material within the Founder PCB testing
operations and its unique PCB R&D Institute.
Founder has been developing PCBs for electronic product developers
for more than 25 years and is one of the top three PCB suppliers in
China. It has a large customer base of manufacturers of mobile
telephones, media devices and other portable consumer products, which
can benefit greatly from the cost, time and protection benefits
Shocking's technology offers.
The XStatic material is embedded in PCBs to protect components and
systems from harmful ESD events. Shocking Tech's XStatic solution
reduces component count and frees up space for other functionality
while simplifying design, improving ESD protection, and slashing
development time.
"We pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of PCB manufacturing
innovation, and this new approach to ESD protection is consistent
with our strategy of delivering solutions that help our customers
compete better in the dynamic consumer electronics market
industries," said George Dudnikov, Chief Technology Officer & GM at
Founder PCB . "We have thoroughly evaluated the XStatic material and
found that it delivers substantial benefits to our PCB manufacturing
process. We look forward to being able to offer it to our domestic
and overseas smart phone and tablet customers."
Lex Kosowsky, President and CEO of Shocking Technologies, said,
"Having a major Chinese manufacturer such as Founder being certified
on our VSD solution opens up a wide range of opportunities for
Shocking. Founder is well-entrenched in key consumer segments,
especially mobile smart phones and tablets, and our technology has
proven itself to be a major time and money saver for companies in
those markets. We are pleased to see the growing adoption of our
technology worldwide by PCB leaders."
About XStatic(TM)
Shocking Technologies' XStatic material is a
polymer nano-composite that functions substantially as an insulator
(dielectric) during normal circuit operation and becomes
substantially conductive when the voltage increases beyond a
predefined threshold. The XStatic material reverts back to behaving
substantially as an insulator after the voltage drops back below the
threshold to normal operating levels. The net result is that when the
XStatic material is incorporated in a PCB or package substrate,
damaging ESD voltages and currents can be routed to ground or to
other predetermined locations so that elements, circuits, components,
devices and systems can be effectively protected against ESD events.
About Shocking Technologies
Founded in 2006, Shocking Technologies
offers an innovative solution to protecting electronic products in
the handheld, cell phone, LCD display, memory and other markets from
the harmful effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Its patented
Voltage Switchable Dielectric(TM) (VSD) polymernano-composite
material, XStatic(TM), is easily applied to PCB and package
substrates,and coupled with Shocking's advanced design and simulation
technologies provides the industry's only embedded solution capable
of up to 100% protection against ESD. The ease of implementation and
comprehensive coverage of the XStatic(TM) solution also lowers
development time and costs and reduces product design size by
eliminating less effective components traditionally used to protect
devices against ESD effects. The company has over 150 patents and
applications worldwide and has licensed numerous additional patents
and applications. Shocking Technologies is a privately held company
with investments from ARCH Venture Partners, ATA Ventures, Balch Hill
Capital, Littelfuse, Inc., SkyLake Incuvest, Vista Ventures, and a
limited number of private investors. For more information, go to
