Advanced mouIding solutions

摘要

Today's subsea connector industry calls for increasingly advanced solutions for moulding and overmoulding complex cable assemblies. The overmoulding for connectors and custom cable assemblies is a critical component of the viability of any such assembly to successfully withstand harsh marine environments, mechanical abuse and repeatability. Properly executed, the precision overmoulding process seals the connector/cable interface, provides strain relief, precludes discontinuous bending and adds elastomeric mechanical strength to the junction. Materials used for overmoulding can include epoxy, polyurethane, polychloroprene and a wide range of other substances, and custom moulding facilities are now capable of producing tailored solutions for a diverse suite of highly specific environments and applications. BIRNS, Inc., an ISO 9001:2008 certified global leader in the development and manufacturing of high performance connectors and custom cable assemblies, has been innovating subsea technology since 1954.
