Terminated Cables

ASG has automated and semi-automated equipment to cut, strip, and terminate almost any kind of wire. We stock multiconductor wire in many styles and colors. Our terminated cables are UL/CSA certified from the top manufacturers to insure the highest quality.


When specifying a terminated cable, several industry specific parameters must be defined:

Is The Assembly Going To Be Used In Harsh Environments?

Industrial

  • Oil, Water, Fluid Resistant
  • Crush Proof

Medical

  • Autoclavable
  • Intrusive
  • Patient Contact
  • Triboelectric Noise

–Datacomm/Telecomm

  • UV Resistant
  • Exposure to Elements

What Type Of Signal Will The Assembly Be Exposed To?

  • Power
  • Low voltage
  • High Frequency

What Safety Certifications Will Be Needed For The Installation?

NEC (National Electric Code)

  • Recommended Standard
    • Becomes law when officially adopted by state or local governments
    • Local inspector has responsibility of enforcing

UL (Underwriters Laboratories)Cert Symbols

  • Safety Consulting and Certification
  • Tests cables and components to set standards

–CSA (Canadian Standards Association)

  • Develops standards that enhance public safety
  • Test cables and components to set standards

 

Is A Strain Relief Needed To Protect The Assembly?

  • Provides transition point from cable to connector or connection point
  • Prevents load applied to cable from being transferred to terminations
    • Point of termination most likely point of failure in applications needing flexibility
    • Well designed strain relief will isolate termination points
  • Strain Relief Available as pre-manufactured or over-molded designs

Does The Assembly Need To Be Shielded To Control EMI/RFI?

Types of Shielding

  • Foil Shield
    • Low cost
    • Ease of termination
    • Good flexibility
    • Excellent at high frequencies, less effective at low frequencies
    • Short flex life
  • Braid Shield
    • Higher cost
    • More difficult to terminate
    • Best at low frequencies
    • Increased flex life
  • Spiral Shield
    • Excellent flexibility
    • Long flex life
    • Poor at high frequencies
    • Difficult to terminate
  • Foil and Braid Shield
    • Best at all frequencies
    • Ease of Termination
    • Highest Cost

What Methods Are Used To Attach Cables To Connectors?

Crimp

  • Connection achieved using solderless electrical connector
  • Mechanically deformed / compressed (crimped) tightly around the wire

Push/Press

  • No tools required

Solder

  • Utilizes Solder Cup, Solder Eyelet,
    Solder Hook, or Solder Tail for connection
