Overmolded cable assemblies are intended to provide strong, flexible and durable terminations for various cables. The over molding process is covering cables and connectors in a molding material, usually a thermoplastic or thermoset material. This not only provides a safe and reliable connection but also protects against environmental factors such as moisture, dust, heat and mechanical stress.
When talking about "connector equivalents vs. originals," we usually compare electronic/electrical connectors that are branded originals and their equivalent counterparts, which are often made by third-party manufacturers. The original brands include Molex, TE, Deutsch, AMP, Samtec, JST, LEMO, Lumberg, Wurth, Binder, Amphenol, and others. The equivalents match the original connectors in mating, structure, and function
Certifications like IATF 16949, UL, CE, RoHS, and IPC/WHMA-A-620 ensure cable assembly products meet safety, quality, and performance standards. These strict certifications require rigorous testing and ongoing compliance to provide customers with reliable and high-quality products.
