Moulding 2.1mm DC Power Connectors to Free Issue Cables
It is not unusual to receive a request to mould M8 or M12 connectors onto free issue cable or sensors. In this instance our customer required a 2.1mm DC connector fitting onto the cable supplied with their LED lighting units to make them compatible with our LED lighting looms.
We looked at using off-the-shelf self-wire DC 2.1mm connectors, but we felt that we could give our customer a more reliable and neater solution by moulding the connector to the cable. We produced some specific tooling for the 2.1mm connectors and using our standard M8 mould tools, we were able to produce the desired connector.
