Understanding Custom Over-Molded Cables

Custom over-molded cables seamlessly join many parts of the connector and cable together to meet customer’s requirements.

Did you know that the over-molding process comprises injecting molten in a mold that transitions into the desired shape once it’s cooled down? This practice of creating custom over-molded cable is widely used for all types of applications in every sector.

The molten material added in the mold comes in many colors to match the color of the cable or equipment. Rubber, PVC, PP, PE, and ABS plastic are the kind of materials used for over-molding.

Customized over-molded cable allows combinations of colors, wire types, materials, and numerous styling options. These custom shapes, colors, etc. provide the highest degree of aesthetic sense. You can even add your company’s name or logo on the cable.

Here’s a guide for understanding the key attributes of a custom over-molded cable.  

Advanced Protection from Harsh Weather & Abrasion

Over molding covers all sensitive electrical elements which offer advanced protection from harsh weather conditions and abrasion.

These custom cables are cost-effective as compared to regular cables that include a black shell and EMI foil. Many industries require over-molded cables for rough use.

An over-molded cable manufacturer only needs to know the right application environment and material that’s required to manufacture the accurate product

For instance, Polyurethane material is involved in the over-molding process to manufacture cables that are used in the healthcare and military sector.

Polyurethane includes properties like abrasion resistance, high load capacity, and withstand high temperature.

Longer Shelf Life

Custom over-molded cable tends to last longer than traditional cables. Since over-molding provides strain relief, flexible support, and high pull strength.

Simpler Equipment & Efficient Integration

In comparison to traditional cable, over-molded electronic cables are smaller which allows OEM to lower down the size of the equipment making it simpler.

Moreover, over-molding involves reverse polarity protection diodes or circuit analysis resistors, PC board assemblies, etc. that helps in efficient integration of custom cables.

How to Avoid OSHA Violations at Your Drilling Rig

Image
  The health and safety of workers in the oil and gas mining industry are major concerns. Exposure to hazards, extreme work environments, and accidents while operating heavy machinery means that oil/gas industry employees are at a higher risk of injuries and fatalities. As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) has outlined certain precautions that help prevent accidents and keep your employees and worksite safe. Significant focus has been put on inspecting oilfield worksites, so you want to be prepared for any unexpected visits at your facility at all times. Staying prepared means that not only do you get to avoid fines and citations , but you also keep your workers protected. Let’s take a look at the top three violations on OSHA’s list, as well as the steps you can take to prevent them. 1. Inadequate Fall Prevention According to the National Safety Council, falls are among the most common hazards in the workplace, leading to approximately 50,000 severe i

Most Common Oilfield Instrumentation Issues

Image
Oilfield instrumentation  is a system of measuring, recording, and analyzing parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. It’s used to monitor the production of petroleum and natural gas wells. Here are five common oilfield instrumentation issues that oilfield operators should know about. Equipment Failure Equipment can either fail mechanically or electrically. The most common failures are due to power surges or lightning strikes. Electrical failure is one of the most common causes of oilfield instrumentation issues. They are caused by improper grounding or insulation issues with wiring in the wellhead. Mechanical failures  are usually due to wear and tear on moving parts caused by high-temperature environments or corrosion from corrosive chemicals in the wellhead. Lack of Communication Between the Wellhead and the Surface Any oilfield or gas field instrumentation is at risk of malfunctioning if the communication between the wellhead and surface is faulty. One issue that ca
