Simply put, overmolding is an injection molding process in which two or more materials are used to combine the wire and connector to create a single part. To do this, the cable assembly is placed inside a mold. The first material (the substrate) is covered by the other materials in this process. The overmolding process requires a rigid plastic component to be overlaid with a TPU layer or other overmold materials using either the .

The increasing use of complex electronic systems in factories has optimized operations and output…but these systems are much more susceptible to electronic interference than older technology. Minimizing EMI is a priority in many facilities, as these systems in modern factory environments generate and can be disrupted by electronic interference. What’s the solution? EMC/EMI filters lower EMI without significantly impacting the cost, size, or function of factory automation systems and robotics. Learn how in our .
