Designed to provide optimal protection of your electrical circuitry, an electrical cable assembly is a set of electrical wires or cables wrapped in a single insulating sleeve often made of thermoplastic, vinyl, or thermoplastic rubber. Unlike wire harnesses, which are typically housed internally, cable assemblies must deal with external environmental factors, such as the elements, human tampering and extreme temperatures. Consequently, cable assemblies need to be constructed of much stronger and more durable materials.
Aimed at improving the performance and versatility of your cable assembly, custom overmolding is the process that uses specialized injection-molding machines to mold plastic or rubber over cable assemblies and their connectors, conforming to custom specifications such as dimensions, weight, and structure that best accommodate future usage needs.
Allowing you to choose just the right materials and options to fit your specific application, overmolding offers optimal protection and durability for your cable assembly. Here are some of the many benefits you can get from custom overmolded cable, depending on the customization options you choose:
