Overmoulded Cables: Why They’re More Important than Ever

We live in a fast-paced world, where we rely on technology more than ever before. The demand for reliable, durable and cost-effective electronic components has therefore never been greater. 

Overmoulded cables, in particular, have become indispensable for industries which require enhanced protection. Whether your devices are used in harsh industrial environments, or need equipment for the medical or industrial sectors, overmoulding is one of the best methods of protection. 

The Advantages of Overmoulding

Overmoulding involves encapsulating electronic components, such as PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and connectors, with specialised materials to provide superior mechanical and environmental protection.

Using this process, we can not only enhance their durability but improve strain relief, moisture resistance, and overall longevity.

An Excellent Alternative to PCB encapsulation

Traditional PCB protection methods, such as potting, conformal coating and sealing, can be expensive as well as messy. 

Overmoulding, on the other hand, offers a cost-effective alternative. With our state-of-the-art low-pressure overmoulding, Novara Technologies can produce assemblies that withstand exposure to dust, water, chemicals and extreme temperatures, making them ideal for demanding environments.

Why Choose Novara Technologies?

Novara Technologies is highly experienced in the field of low-pressure overmoulding, providing a superior and cost-effective solution for PCB protection.

Our semi-automated process is designed to eliminate the drawbacks of traditional encapsulation methods while ensuring high quality results.

Similar to plastic injection moulding, this process involves inserting finished PCBs into a custom-designed mould, where they are encapsulated with specialised materials under low pressure. This ensures that delicate electronic components remain undamaged while ensuring they enjoy superior robust protection. 

By choosing Novara Technologies, your businesses benefit from:

  • A Cost-Effective Process. Reduced labour costs and material waste compared to potting and sealing.
  • Enhanced Protection. Your components will enjoy superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress.
  • A Smoother Production Process. A semi-automated process that increases consistency and reduces human error.
  • Custom Solutions. We can deliver tailor-made overmoulding designs to suit your specific needs.

With devices needing higher levels of durability and reliability, overmoulded cables and PCBs have become a necessity rather than a luxury. 

Our expertise in low-pressure overmoulding will ensure that your business receives the best possible protection for your electronics without the excessive costs and complexities of traditional methods.
