Shocking Technologies is a venture-backed company pioneering the development of Voltage Switchable Dielectric™ (VSD™) materials. These nano-composites act as insulators under normal circuit activity, yet transform into conductive materials when the voltage surpasses a certain threshold, reverting to insulating states when the voltage drops. This unique characteristic, combined with customizable responses, presents diverse opportunities in electronics. The company's initial application focuses on embedded electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packages, with future applications slated to introduce innovative manufacturing techniques and novel product designs.
Founded in 2006, Shocking Technologies operates in the Enterprise Software, Hardware, and Manufacturing industries. In May 21, 2012, the company secured a significant $10.50M Venture Round investment from Littelfuse, a key player in the field. This infusion of funds underscores the potential and promise that Shocking Technologies holds for the future.
