Small dc plug mold for strain reliefs ...ok
Used, but in very good condition. This was used on small PVC presses to overmold a pvc strain relief on popular DC plugs...2.5mm and 2.1mm.
It was manufactured in Taiwan in the mid 90's and I used it on small vertical molding machines for"short runs". If you will look at the pictures, you'll see an example of the type assembly you can make with this. It is not identical, but close. I copied the picture off the internet for a visual.. It can overmold 2 assemblies at a time. It is for 18 guage "zipcord" type wire. I remember using Belden 18 guage wire...I don't remember the part number. As a further example, you can overmold strain reliefs for cable assemblies for car chargers and AC adapters of many popular current electronic devices...gps's, cell phones, etc.. . This was used to make assemblies for a now famous cell phone manufacturer...so, there is some history. It was never used in high volume and is in very good condition.
I do not have any good measuring devices, so you'll have to go by the pictures. Part of it is detatchable, so you can have machined different strain relief types to interchange.
Solder the DC plug to the wire.
Insert the soldered plug end of the assembly into the mold.
Push the button on your machine to close the mold and shoot the plastic in and do it's cycle.
When the mold opens back up, pull out the finished overmolded assembly.
But if you're looking at this, you probably know this already.
