Winner in the category of Plastics & Electronics was design engineering firm Pezy, who developed a 3K micro connector representing a "fantastic example of micro-injection molding and assembly," according to the jury. The part is produced by insert overmolding of microscopic small connectors, a highly complex process. The part is an engineering feat that at the same time, said the jury, shows that "plastics and polymers have a great role to play in the miniaturization of electronic products and components."
