News Teamcertified components, Custom Techniques, Distribution, labelling, Soldering, Technology, Wiring Harness Manufacturing

Insulating electrical conductors in discrete circuits has been a necessary process since the inception of electricity. Many studies, developments and innovations in the wire industry have been made regarding thickness, physical characteristics, insulation material types — all with one goal. Safely and effectively insulating the electrical conductors carrying power. Using Heatshrink There are many implications for heatshrink tubing from safety and physcial reinforcement to identifying wire ends. Safety When a wire is stripped to reveal its inside conductors for crimping, soldering or connecting to an electrical system, there is often a need to re-cover the copper to protect the circuit …

Hygroscopic Nylon Parts: A Hidden Quality Lifesaver With Moisture Control

News TeamComponents, Crimping Contacts, Nylon, Parts, Technology, Wire Harness Quality System, Wire Processing

Hygroscopy is described as an objects ability or characteristic to absorb/ give up moisture into its surrounding atmosphere. A great way to think of this is a tree. We all know that trees “suck up” co2 from the atmosphere and release oxygen back into it. Nylon plastic parts do the same with moisture based on the humidity of their environment. Nylon has great thermal and electrical insulating properties but the problem with nylon in professional industries is that it becomes brittle and susceptible to cracking under pressure when it is too dry. Many of the automated processes dealing with manufacturing …
