Why Custom Molding is Better

The fact that a molded connector may be custom-shaped for the application, often permits a better product plus added economy, compared to conventional methods.

Although integrally-molded connectors lend themselves to high-volume production, short runs (100 pieces) are still practical due to our proprietary molding and tooling technology plus our selection of standard adjustable tooling.

We provide complete manufacturing and engineering services to assist in specifying molded cable and connectors.

National's proprietary molding and tooling techniques allow us to create the connector directly on the cable by embedding cable, contacts and hardware in hot-injected plastic. Thus a conventional purchased connector is not used, with consequent savings.

A connector may be only one pin molded to a leadwire, or may have dozens of contacts molded onto large cable with embedded hardware. We mold on a wide selection of connectors, using our standard contacts and hardware.

We invite your inquiries on our standard or special connector styles. Our engineering staff will be pleased to discuss your particular requirements.

Special Product Features

For Cables
Special colors of outer plastic jacket; name or part number permanently embossed in surface of cable jacket; ultra-flexible cable constructions; ultra-low-capacitance cables special shielding techniques for low noise cable; engineering service for your special requirements.

Many standard cable constructions are carried in our warehouse where we stock over 300 different control cable types, in addition to our multi-million foot inventory of electronic hookup wires. These stocks, plus normal 2-shift factory operation allow rapid supply of cable for molded cable assemblies.

For Connectors
National's proprietary molding and tooling techniques allow us to create the connector directly on the cable by embedding cable, contacts and hardware in hot-injected plastic.

For Tools
A wide variety of standard cable-connector tools are available for producing your assembly with no tooling costs. Often our mold specialists can adjust our non-standard tools for your special needs with only a minor engineering change.

Due to their proprietary nature, tools are generally retained by us when they may be used on other work by adjustments. Where the customer must have privacy of use, there is a nominal engineering charge.
