Overview
This white plastic connection housing is a custom injection molded part produced to your 3D file. It combines a connector body, a slot structure, mounting holes and snap-fit ribs on one molded housing, so it locates and holds the mating part in electronic devices, household appliances and light equipment assemblies. Typical uses are holding a mating connector part and locating an insert inside a device. The housing is molded in white as shown, and other colors can run from the same tool.
Key Features & Benefits
– Connector body — carries and positions the mating connector part
– Slot structure — locates the insert during assembly
– Mounting holes — fasten the housing straight to the panel
– Snap-fit ribs — lock the assembly in position
– Molded in one shot — housing, ribs and holes come off the tool as one part
– White color — set in the tool, so the finish does not wear off
Customization Options
The housing length, the barrel diameter, the slot layout, the mounting hole positions and the rib size are all set in the tool, so they follow your 3D file instead of a catalogue size. Send the assembly requirement and the housing need with the file, and we confirm the draft angles, the shrinkage allowance and the gate position before steel is cut. If the housing has to fit an existing connector or panel, send that dimension as well, and we hold it in the tool.
Every plastic connection housing is measured against your 3D file before shipment, and the inspection record stays with the tool for repeat orders. Tooling can be modified later for a new hole pitch or barrel size.
Ordering and quotation
Send your 3D file with the assembly requirement and the yearly volume. You receive a molding quotation that lists tooling cost, cycle time and sample lead time, and the yearly volume also decides how many cavities the tool should carry. We flag any feature that cannot mold cleanly at the wall you need before the quotation goes out.
