Overmoulding improves connection reliability
Omnetics' custom overmoulding service is available on large and small runs
Omnetics has released a precision over-moulding service, enabling defence, medical and other high-reliability applications to benefit from having electrical connectors moulded into equipment housings. This ensures that contamination is minimised and enables easy sterilisation. There can also be significant savings in space, weight and cost.

Connector insulators are first assembled with pins or sockets that have been pre-wired or have solder lugs on the back.
Customers' mechanical assembly drawings or solid models are used to size and specify the internal dimensions of the housings, handles and probes that will contain the connectors.
Injection over-moulding processes complete the final step of fabrication, forming the final assembly.
Omnetics offers many material options for the outer shell material, based upon the application.
Materials range from soft silicones to hard glossy shells used in tool handles.
Custom logos and colours can be incorporated.
Gary Evans, Omnetics' European Sales Manager said: 'Having the connector system designed as a part of the end equipment brings many benefits, but usually requires large production run orders'.
'Omnetics is happy to offer this precision over-moulding service for any order volumes from short runs to large quantities'.
'We have also just invested in a new clean room to support this capability'.
