world. Additionally, there are two different rubber protective caps, one for the connector when not in use and one for the panel outlet when not in use.
Once again, Custom Rubber Corp. and our customer have made small but important enhancements in design including:
- Innovative tool design that completely eliminated all parting lines across the mating cylindrical ends.
- Raised o-ring beads on the large ID of the rubber connector that holds securely with either the panel outlet or the protective cover.
- Proprietary material that is self-lubricating. The interference fit between the connectors and the panel mount is significantly tighter than the industry standard, but the proprietary component that leaches out the surface continuously lubricates the connector resulting in increased protection without increased difficulty in making the connection.
Producing a self-lubricating compound that was processable in the mold proved difficult initially, but the strategic partnerships with our rubber material suppliers resulted in a compound that worked. The next step was to duplicate the physical properties in eight different colors, from vibrant yellow and orange, to deep red and green.
Ultimately, our customer's design enhancements, and our ability to produce near-perfect parts consistently has resulted in significant demand within the industry.
