Cable assemblies with molded connectors by ElectronAix for custom cable assemblies
Cable assemblies with overmoulded connectors: cost advantages due to simple processing ▼
For cable assemblies with moulded connectors , the connector housing is fitted using a plastic injection moulding. Several process steps are necessary for this:
First, wires and contacts are connected to each other. For the most part, this is done in a soldering process. This is followed by fixing with a hotmelt adhesive or internal overmoulding. The last step is an outer overmoulding with a PVC or PUR material. Alternatively, overmoulding using a low-pressure injection mold is also possible.
In exceptional cases, we assemble connector housings. With this method, the connector housing consists of several components: the contact carrier, the housing hoods as well as seals and strain reliefs. These components are assembled like a kit after the electrical connection has been made. The process is labour intensive.
However, a simple and fast overmoulding process means considerable cost advantages compared to the complex assembly – overmoulded connectors are significantly cheaper due to the easy manufacturing process.

IP classification for waterproof cable assemblies ▼
Depending on the overmoulding, it is possible to achieve IP classes of up to 69K. These assemblies are also suitable for use in harsh environments.
Waterproof cable assemblies that feature overmoulded connectors are therefore a safe and reliable solution for outdoor use.

Overmoulded connectors cable assemblies for many applications ▼
Due to the overmoulding of the connector, these cable assemblies are mainly used outside of devices. The combination of a flexible manufacturing process and high safety due to the IP classification allows moulded connectors for numerous applications.
Typical examples are cable assemblies with D-SUB, USB, Type-C, HDMI, DVI, Displayport, waterproof round connectors M5/M8/M12, network cables, power cords and many more.
The injection moulds can also be modified with a small buget. This means that individual moulds for customer-specific applications are easy possible. ElectronAix offers moulded connectors with magnetic connection as well as individual solutions for customised USB cables (USB 2.0 cables, USB 3.0 cables, USB-A plug type-C connectors and much more).
An alternative to an overmoulded plug connectors is a grommet that is moulded to a jacket cable. There are different reasons for choosing this version: A grommet safes space, it can reduce costs, when the cable is firmly connected to the application. Individual sleeves and strain reliefs can be realised with little effort.
Another application for plastic overmoulding are distributors, from simple Y-distributors with three cable outlets to multiple distributors. Inside the distributor there is always wiring (either on a printed circuit board or freely wired). The distribution point is then overmoulded to save as much space as possible.

Automatic soldering
The most critical process step for the quality of cable assemblies with overmoulded connectors is the connection between the wire and the connector. This is usually realised with a soldering. Overmoulded connectors and cable assemblies from ElectronAix are automatically soldered whenever possible. As a result, you get overmoulded connectors manufactured in a stable process with a high-quality and durable electrical connection.
Small tolerances of dimensions for IP-rated applications
Tight tolerances are often required for sleeves and strain reliefs for IP-rated applications. Thanks to modern injection moulding processes and our many years of experience in this field, we can also realise small tolerances for your applications.
Customised modifications and raw cables
For cable assemblies with moulded connectors, there is often a request for a customer-specific raw cable. We can produce all kind of raw cables with special color, LSZH, hybrid cables for power and data etc. A customised raw cable is always subject to a minimum order quantity -MOQ- of 1000m, but usually 3000m.
The raw cable MOQ can be assembled for several production lots. In our processes and ERP-system, we automatically map such cases with a purchase commitment. It is very transparent at any time which remaining quantity is still available. Furthermore, the injection mould must be adapted to the outer diameter of the cable. At ElectronAix we manage both for you. We manage the minimum order quantities with you via purchase commitments. The adaptation of moulds is a standard process for us when it comes to customer-specific solutions.

Supply chain solutions for cable assemblies by ElectronAix ▼
SAP is our most important tool
We work with an ERP-system from SAP and map all flows of goods there, from the procurement of raw materials to the storage of raw materials, the inventories in our buffer warehouse in Aachen and all the way to the deliveries of your orders.
Our ERP-system thus combines all the functions we need for our business operations, ensuring maximum transparency, and data integrity.

Documentation and data security
The most important information about the article life cycle is integrated into our ERP-system: Clarifications and technical changes are thus accessible and available at any time if required, for example during order entry.
To ensure the highest level of data security, our server is mirrored, and both servers are also housed in different fire protection areas. In addition, all data is backed up daily to a German cloud. An external partner keeps our firewall and virus scanner permanently up to date.

Project planning and buffer storage
We have critical components in stock on site in Aachen. This gives us 100% control of material management and - flow. During the ramp up we can agree with you on buying critical parts from the BOM-List in advance. This supports a smooth project ramp up and maximum supply security for your benefit. It gives you more time to finalize the design of your assembly.
During the lifecycle we can keep a buffer stock of the critical components. This shortens lead times gives you flexibility.
In case of minimum order quantities e.g. for raw cable, we can arrange to keep the surplus in our factory for future orders.
