Overmolds and heat-shrink tubing that provide sealing at the junction of the connector and the cable can impart functionality such as abrasion and impact resistance, low friction, vibration damping and protection from fluid ingress. One of the insulation materials available in rubber is silicone. It’s generally non-reactive, stable, resistant to extreme environments, and offers the widest thermal range (from -60 °C to 180 °C). Silicone cable assemblies thus stand up to any sterilization challenge you can throw at them: steam autoclave, high heat, disinfectants and sterilant solutions. Our wide range of silicone cable assemblies includes:
• Custom silicone overmolds
• Custom geometries
• Low-friction coating to prevent damage over the lifetime of the cable
• Custom colors available
The silicone overmolds from the Fischer Core Series in sizes 104 and 105 are medical cable assemblies tested to ISO 13485.
