What is overmolding? In short, overmolding is an injection molding process in which two or more materials are used to combine the wire harness and connector to form a single part, and the cable assembly is placed in the mold. In this process, the first material substrate will be covered with other materials. The overmolding process requires insert molding (single injection) or multiple injection molding techniques to cover the rigid plastic parts with the TPU layer or other overmolding materials. So what are the benefits of the connector and wire harness overmolding process? The following will be explained by everyone!

Overmolded connector harness
The benefits of connector and wire harness overmolding:
1. Increase the flexibility of the cable harness exit, so that most of the movement between the cable harness and the connector occurs at the cable harness exit.
2. Provide wear resistance, impact resistance or impact resistance.
3. Make the cable assembly tamper-proof by encapsulating the module under the sealing resin.
4. Provide 360 degree strain relief and increase tension.
5. Create a waterproof or waterproof seal to make the cable assembly comply with IP certification.
6. Improve the overall quality, appearance and feel of the cable assembly, replacing the need for expensive metal back shells.
7. Simplify installation by creating an integrated component that has keys as a visual indicator to help each pairing reduce human error.

It should be said that the main advantages of overmolding of connectors and harnesses are longer service life and higher reliability, and overmolding can mask internal components, enhance protection performance, and help cable components in the most Survive in a harsh environment.

After reading the above, I believe everyone should understand the benefits of overmolding of connectors and harnesses.
