Key advantages of GCT's overmolded product range are the low MOQs (as little as 1,000 pieces) and low tooling cost thresholds - it costs as little as $500 to develop a custom overmold. Target delivery for custom design first off samples is six weeks.
Asides from the overall look and feel of an overmolded cable assembly, there are numerous technical advantages over crimp or IDC cable assemblies. Overmoulding offers excellent durability, using a two mold – inner & outer process. Using this type of cable also enables you to integrate components, including PCB's, which offers customers a variety of design solutions.
The range offers many choices, which our photo gallery demonstrates: Coiled cables, logo printing, integrated ferrites and a huge variety of colour options (including colour matching where required).
We offer material hardness options, measured on the Shore hardness scale, for example grommets which allow cables to be snapped into a panel should be soft rubber, while durability and wear on connector overmolds may be improved by a harder compound. All types are available.
Additional options include braiding, drain wire, heat shrink and cable marking in various styles, including labels. Cable jacket and core colour options offer you a variety of choice. Assemblies may be custom packaged to meet your specifications. Environmental options, such as halogen free are also available.
Cable looms may be supplied with prepared ends, which are stripped, twisted and tinned for soldering to a PCB, you can see examples in the photos. Another option is partially stripped, otherwise known as 'slug' to allow customers to prepare twisted ends on site.
