The Molded on Concept

“Molded-On” is the term we at Mold-Tech use to describe the integration of cable and contacts into one-piece, inseparable assemblies by means of injection molding. The process itself is unique in the industry, and so are the resulting functional and economic advantages in the interconnection systems.

The most obvious advantage of the “Molded-On” assemblies is that they are one piece, and therefore inseparable, as opposed to Std IDC “sandwich” style. There are no individual components to come apart or lose or stock to assemble or test or scrap. They are factory tested and ready to install when shipped.

Integral Molding

Flat ribbon cable conductor are IDC mass terminated to performed contacts and the and the entire terminated cable end is enclosed in a mold configured as a connector. Hot molten polyester thermoplastic is then injected into the connector mold under intense pressure. the pressurized molten plastic penetrates and fills all the mold cavity spaces while simultaneously engulfing the shouldered portion of the contacts, the cable cut-off end, and the PVC-insulated lead-in portion of the cable itself. The PVC insulation is thermally fused to the body.

The finished part, now an integral single-end assembly, cools immediately and is ejected from the mold. For double ended assembly, the opposite cable end also is IDC mass terminated to the contacts and molded into a connector body. One-piece daisy-chain jumpers are produced by using thru-cable molds that permit any connector body styles to be molded around IDC-mass-terminated contacts anywhere on the cable. Special-configuration one-piece jumpers incorporating any number of connectors – with the same or different body style and sizes – are easily produced to customer specifications with our unique “molded-on” process. In keeping with the “systems approach”, all cable is industry-standard .050in. (1.27mm)
