Precision Silicone Overmolding for Data Cables - High-Quality Processing Solutions by Siliconeplus
Review
Description
What is silicone overmolding, and how does it benefit data cables?
Silicone overmolding is a high-precision manufacturing process where liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is molded directly onto data cable components. This process enhances the cables by providing superior insulation, waterproofing, and durability. Silicone’s flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental factors make it ideal for protecting delicate cable assemblies in demanding conditions.
we specialize in providing customized overmolding solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Whether it’s unique cable dimensions, specialized connectors, or performance standards, our engineering team designs molds and processes to deliver precisely what you need. Customization options include material properties, colors, shapes, and additional features like logo embossing
What are the key properties of silicone used in overmolding?
The silicone used in our overmolding processes offers several important properties:
Heat Resistance: Performs well in temperatures ranging from -60°C to 250°C.
Flexibility: Maintains elasticity even after repeated bending.
Waterproofing: Provides a complete seal against moisture and liquids.
Aging Resistance: Ensures longevity by resisting UV exposure and chemical
Biocompatibility: Safe for use in medical and food-grade applications.
These properties make silicone a superior choice for protecting cable assemblies.
Customer Cases
Environmental Resistance: The cables would be exposed to high temperatures (up to 200°C), vibrations, and oil in engine compartments.
Precision Requirements: The overmolding needed to fit intricate connectors precisely to prevent signal interference and ensure a snug fit.
Volume and Speed: The client required a high production volume of over 100,000 units per month with a tight delivery schedule.
Certifications: The finished product had to meet automotive industry standards, including RoHS and ISO/TS 16949 compliance.
Our Solution
1.Material Selection: Our engineering team selected high-performance liquid silicone rubber (LSR) for its excellent thermal stability, flexibility, and oil resistance.
2.Custom Mold Design: Using our in-house mold-making department, we designed precision molds to accommodate the unique connector geometry. The molds ensured a tight, secure fit around the cables while allowing for smooth demolding.
3.Overmolding Process: Leveraging advanced silicone overmolding techniques, we encapsulated the data cables with uniform silicone layers,
enhancing durability and providing complete protection against oil, water, and heat.
4.Quality Control: We implemented strict quality checks, including high-temperature testing, tensile strength assessment, and fit validation for connectors, ensuring each unit met the client's exacting standards.
5.Scalable Production: With 20 production lines and optimized workflows, we ramped up production to meet the client's volume requirements while adhering to the delivery schedule.
