Overmolding, also known as injection molding or insert molding, is an important process employed in electronic connectors used in medical manufacturing.

 

Overmolding is a process where a single part is created using two or more different materials in combination.  The first material (the substrate) is partially or fully covered by subsequent materials (overmold materials) during the manufacturing process. This unique injection molding process that results in a seamless combination of multiple materials into a single part or product. Overmolding allows the wire and connector to be combined, enhancing the assembly features.  Similarly, molding over metal inserts creates an interface that provides value electrically and mechanically.

 

There are a number of benefits to overmolding when it comes to the electronic connectors used in healthcare device manufacturing. We’ll discuss some below.

Recycling scrap metal is seen as a good thing to do. However, isn't it better though not to create scrap in the first place? That is the best approach for producing contact pins. A combination of efficient manufacturing processes, automated inspection, and standardized working practices minimizes waste and drives down costs. It's good for the environment too! Here's how it's done.
