A Local Hub for Advanced Electronics Manufacturing in Australia...
In the competitive world of electronics manufacturing, Australian companies increasingly demand solutions that combine precision, efficiency and adaptability. Tarapath Pty Ltd, established in Melbourne in 1989, has grown from a distributor of PCB terminals and hardware into a trusted supplier of innovative production tools, machinery and manufacturing support for the electronics industry in Australia and New Zealand.
At the heart of modern EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) is Low Pressure Moulding (LPM) — a versatile encapsulation process that protects electronic assemblies from environmental stressors such as moisture, dust, vibration, and mechanical handling. Unlike traditional potting or conformal coating, Low Pressure Moulding uses thermoplastic materials injected at low pressure to encapsulate directly over electronic components or assemblies. This approach simplifies production, reduces cycle times and material waste, and helps lower overall manufacturing costs.
Tarapath’s Low Pressure Moulding capabilities not only replace more labour-intensive processes but also allow the encapsulation to form part of the product’s structural enclosure. By consolidating multiple manufacturing steps into a three-step process — insert, mould, and test — LPM dramatically shrinks production footprints and streamlines workflow on the factory floor.
Moreover, with a range of Henkel TECHNOMELT materials available through Tarapath, manufacturers can choose options tailored for environmental resistance, UV stability or high-temperature performance.
In addition to moulding technologies, Tarapath supports PCB manufacturing and assembly workflows, offering solutions from part design through to contract overmoulding and full turnkey assemblies. Our service portfolio includes the ability to provide production for custom tooling, sourcing components, and managing parts assemblies — ideal for companies that want to outsource all or part of their production lifecycle without investing in specialised equipment upfront.
A key part of Tarapath’s offering is access to high-quality electronic components from leading international manufacturers. Among these is VOGT AG, a Swiss company with a long heritage in precision electromechanical components, including solder terminals, PCB tabs, connectors and spacer elements. VOGT AG products complement PCB assembly processes by providing reliable mechanical and electrical connections that are essential for robust designs.
By combining advanced Low Pressure Moulding, comprehensive EMS support and quality components, Tarapath positions itself as your go-to partner for Australian and New Zealand based companies looking to innovate and manufacture electronics with speed, precision and reliability — from prototype to production.
