A sealing element for a molding machine comprises a base body with an inner receptacle wherein the base body is provided with a venting duct to connect an inner receptacle of the sealing element with an outer surface thereof.

Sealing element

A method includes 3D printing a mold body from polycarbonate to form a cavity surface and 3D printing a permanent hydrophobic structure of polycarbonate on the cavity surface. The hydrophobic structure comprises a plurality of regularly shaped protrusions extending from and spaced 0 mm to 1.5 mm apart on the cavity surface. The patterned protrusions impart permanent hydrophobicity to the mold cavity surface.

Method of manufacturing a mold body

A spacer for maintaining one or more wires during a molding process, the spacer having an external frame, and a plurality of spring curved leaves. Each spring curved leaf has a fixed end attached to an inner face of the external frame and a free end. The free ends of the plurality of spring curved leaves are arranged to flexibly wrap the one or more wires.

Spacer for harness bundle

A cable clip for engaging around an exposed conducting core of a cable during an encapsulation process. The clip is formed as a rectilinear loop having an inner surface and an outer surface and opposed ends which define an opening in the loop therebetween by means of which the clip can be engaged around the exposed core. The clip has posts distributed around, and extending outwardly from, its outer surface. The posts engage with an inner surface in an encapsulation mold enclosed around the clip so as to maintain a minimum spacing between the mold and the outer surface of the body around the entire clip and thereby ensure a minimum thickness of encapsulation sealant is formed around the exposed core of the cable during the encapsulation process.

Weld positioning clip for encapsulation process

A cable termination includes a cable end of a cable having a protective outer jacket and an overmolded sealant. The cable termination is manufactured using a method having the steps of providing a cable end of a cable having a protective outer jacket, preparing the protective outer jacket of the cable end such as to promote adhesion with a sealant, and overmolding the cable end with a sealant.
