Solid Molded
Aerospace Systems offers solid molded cable designs to withstand extreme environmental and physical abuse. Solid molded means the connector back-shell is potted and overmolded with an elastomer to provide strain relief and moisture sealing. Junctions (transitions) are also overmolded with the same compound. Overall braided and tape shields may be used to provide EMI/RFI protection. Various wire and elastomer materials are available to meet most requirements.

Advantages of Molded Construction
1. Water proof construction
2. Resilient mechanical protection of the connector.
3. Maximum strain relief effectiveness.
4. No flex induced stress on connector contacts.
5. Molding and curing process creates no stress and prevents wire insulation cold flow such as mechanicalclamps produce.
6. Excellent electrical insulation properties.
7. Less exposed metal than mechanical backshells.
8. Lower cost than shrinkable boots and EMI/RFI environmental mechanical backshells.
9. Cable can enter connector from any angle.
10. Overall 360 degree shield termination can not be disturbed.

Molded Field Repairable
The Aerospace Systems field repairable molded design has all the advantages of the solid molded design plus the advantage of repairability. The coupling nut of this design may be unscrewed from the backshell to reveal a service loop of wire within the backshell. Contacts or the connector may be replaced or rewired without disturbing the shield termination. When reassembled using standard hand tools, an O-ring seals the unit against the environment. Spare wires may be added to the cable to allow for expansion. This design is especially useful for test cable equipment since wiring schematics may change over time. Repairing, rather than scrapping, an expensive cable is another reason to utilize field repairable assemblies.
