The process of overmolding connectors and cable harness assemblies involves injecting plastic resin around critical electrical connections under controlled conditions. The result of this process is a very powerful and durable product. How much do you know? The following is an introduction to the four benefits of over-molding connectors and cable harness assemblies.
Cable harness
1. Intrusion protection
By controlling the materials used and the configuration of the overmolding process, a material bond can be created around the cable harness and connector. These bonds provide the seals needed to achieve watertight joints. These joints have generally passed IP67, IP68, and IP69k standard tests.
2. Shock and vibration protection
The over-molding process fills the space around the internal components, leaving no gaps. Inherently, this condition prevents over-molded parts from moving or moving within the assembly, and this structure is ideal for eliminating fatigue and other damage related to continuous levels of shock and vibration.
3. Increase resistance and reduce wear
Over-molded materials can be selected to provide extreme resistance to physical abuse and vibration. The preferred material for harsh and harsh environments is polyurethane. Polyurethane has a variety of wire harnesses to choose from, with high load capacity, and has strong impact resistance and wear resistance, which is very suitable for harsh environments at various temperatures use.
4. Compact assembly and integration
The use of over-molding techniques in the design of cables or electronic components often produces smaller components than alternative assembly methods such as mechanical back shells or enclosures, and the smaller overall package size helps reduce the size of their equipment. The over-molding process can also accommodate additional items in the assembly, such as diodes for reverse polarity protection or resistors for circuit analysis.
After reading the above, I believe everyone should understand the four benefits of over-molding connectors and cable harness assemblies.
