FAQs about Overmolded Cable Assemblies and Molded Cable Assemblies
Can Galaxy provide UL ratings for molded, injection molded or overmolded products?
Yes, Galaxy can produce and provide UL rated products as long as all of the material used is UL approved. If there is uncertainty about the need for UL ratings, please contact Galaxy to discuss.
Is using epoxy or potting compound the same as molding, overmolding or injection molding?
No, epoxy or potting compounds are applied to an assembly and must cure over time. Epoxy or potting compounds are commonly used to environmentally seal a connector or backshell. Molding or overmolding a product does not always ensure that it will be environmentally sealed.
What does Shore Hardness refer to?
Shore hardness is a durometer scale that refers to the hardness of a compound. That compound could be a form of plastic or rubber, among many other materials. The Shore hardness information is often an important consideration when designing an overmolded/molded/injection molded assembly.
Is there a minimum order quantity for injection molded, molded or overmolded cable assemblies?
No, there is no minimum order required. However, if this is a custom application then there would be tooling charges. These charges can be discussed during the design and quoting process.
