Overmolded Cable and Cable Assemblies Product Roundup

This week’s Product Roundup highlights overmolded cable assemblies from leading connector manufacturers and suppliers.

Overmolded Cable Assemblies

binder’s yellow overmolded M12 cordsets are engineered for high visibility and efficient control line identification in industrial environments. Their bright color supports quick differentiation from power and data cables, enhances safety by reducing accidental disconnects, and aligns with PTLC standards for control wiring in automation, robotics, and material handling. Ideal for sensor and actuator connections in I/O-Link and discrete automation systems, these cordsets feature M12 locking types (3- and 4-pin), straight and angled versions, IP67/IP68/IP69K protection, and rugged PVC or TPE jackets. Available in lengths from 0.3 m to 10 m, with custom options upon request.

ATTEND’s M12 A-code molded cable assemblies enable secure and durable connections in industrial environments, ensuring signal integrity and mechanical robustness. The overmolded structure provides effective strain relief, reduces connector fatigue, and blocks moisture ingress at the cable interface, making them ideal for high-vibration or outdoor installations. Offered in straight plug format with 4- or 8-pin configurations, each cable supports 30 VDC to 250 VDC and up to 4 A of current. The UV-resistant TUP jacket, IP67 sealing, and -40 °C to +80 °C operating range ensure long-term stability for sensors, field devices, and automation systems deployed in harsh operating conditions.

SV Microwave’s line of strain relief products protects RF cable assemblies from the rough maneuvering or extreme bending that can lead to kinks in the cable braid and damage to solder joints. This product line includes SV Microwave’s extended ferrule cable connectors, ideal for Ø.047″ cable solutions, and RF strain relief boot, featuring an external molded accessory that is incorporated into the assembly to prevent the cable from overbending. This can be used on both Ø.047″ and Ø.085″ cable types.

CDM Inc. has extensive overmolded cable manufacturing capabilities provided by some of the most experienced technicians in the industry. CDM can provide injection and two-part casted overmolding along with full rubber capabilities. CDM utilizes a wide range of innovative materials (including Viton, EPDM, Neoprene, TPUs, and TPEs) for military, commercial, medical, and aerospace applications. CDM’s extensive wire, cable, and connector inventory of premium quality components and its 3,000 square-foot in-house machine shop enable the company to accommodate any program- or application-specific mold requirement. CDM is certified to IPC-WHMA-620 and J-STD-001 standards for soldering, ensuring the highest possible quality end product.

With extensive experience in interconnect solutions including cables and overmolding techniques, Axon’ offers optimized overmolded cables that meet the most challenging applications. With the co-engineering phase, Axon’ engineers propose the most suitable solution for customers’ needs. The role of upstream co-engineering with the customer becomes essential to select not only the right overmolding material but also the techniques of molding or overmolding. Axon’ masters different overmolding techniques: plastic injection, the most common overmolding, and elastomer, thermoset resin overmolding, a low pressure molding technique enabling simple potting and the formation of complex shapes including Y-shape overmolding.

Amphenol Pcd offers high performance injection-molded cables, and potting and encapsulation with MIL-M 24041 epoxies. An extensive mold library supports most Amphenol & MIL-Spec connectors.

Nicomatic’s overmolded assemblies meet harsh environment challenges with enhanced mechanical protection, optimized sealing, and excellent resistance to shock and vibration. Available across all its modular connector ranges and hybrid solutions (signal, power, data, fiber optic), Nicomatic’s overmolded cables are fully customizable, featuring choice of connectors and cables (round, flat, coaxial, etc.); straight or right-angle overmolding; marking, shielding, testing; and compliance with aerospace and military standards. Designed in-house, these solutions are ready-to-use, highly reliable, and help reduce integration time in the field.

JST’s compact, 2.0 mm pitch panel lock connectors from Heilind Electronics feature a pre-installed seal ring, rubber seal plug method, double-spring construction, housing lance, and an inner lock for secure, sealed connections that are ideal for automotive, e-mobility, outdoor, industrial, and marine applications. They have an IP67 waterproof rating (IEC 60529).
