Product Overview
Overmolding & Strain Relief
Powering the Future of Exploration
Aptiv Interconnect specializes in cable assembly overmolding, using the most durable raw materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions, abrasion, and sterilization procedures. Aptiv primarily utilizes thermoplastic materials to produce custom cable assembly solutions. We have the capability to mold elastomeric rubbers such as neoprene, EPDM, silicone, nitrile, and viton / FKM as well as thermosets such as GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy), Glass filled PU, and Glass filled nylon. We also have the ability to mold with hybrid resins, providing benefits like high strength-to-weight ratios, combining the stiffness of composites with the design flexibility of injection molding.
Features and Benefits
- Overmolding with a variety of Materials: Aptiv can mold thermoplastic materials, elastomeric rubbers such as neoprene, EPDM, silicone, nitrile, and viton / FKM as well as thermosets such as GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy), Glass filled PU, and Glass filled nylon
- Rapid Prototyping: Aptiv provides 3D printed molding for fast and low cost prototyping. Our 3D printed mold cavities enable better fit and function and allow for easier design changes.
- In-House Machine Shop For Custom Tooling: Our molds are made from hardened, tooled steel for volume production, providing more options for niche applications. Aptiv uses aluminum molds for small runs and prototypes to keep costs down and shorten lead times.
- Environmentally Sealed Cable Assemblies: IP-69 rated assemblies, and optimized EMI/RFI performance for reliable operation in harsh conditions
- Compliance with Rigorous Standards: Aptiv can manufacture and test harnesses to make sure they adhere to the strictest industry standards, such as AS9100 and IPC/WHMA-A-620.
- Full Lifecycle Support: We offer comprehensive support from the initial design and prototyping phase to full-scale production. This includes design-for-manufacturability (DFM) guidance and in-depth testing, which helps to streamline the development process and accelerate time to market for new space technologies.
- Full Lifecycle Testing: Supporting, IP testing, Flex testing and Pull testing and MORE.
