Common material choices include:
• Rubber, which is best suited for applications with extreme temperatures and hot substrates, like weld spatter, and for applications exposed to solvents, oil, and coolants
• Silicone, which is best suited for high-temperature applications
• PVC, which is best suited for general industrial applications
• Polyurethane (PUR), which offers excellent abrasion resistance for applications exposed to mechanical
abuse
• Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), which offers excellent chemical and abrasion resistance in harsh-
environment applications

3. Mounting and Connecting Options
Another part of the customization process involves choosing from a variety of mounting options and connection methods. Receptacle shell options include: ange mount, panel mount, back panel mount, PC-type, and SAE or metric threading. For couplers, select internally threaded, externally threaded, or an adapter option to provide exibility in either style. Accessories such as closure caps, panel gaskets, and O-rings are also available.
These many possibilities for cable connection and mounting enable ultimate design exibility in custom molded connectors and cordsets, and allow users to select the individual components best suited for fast installation, low maintenance, ease of service, enhanced environmental resistance, high performance, and long useful lifetimes.
4. Special Wiring
Fully custom molded connectors and cordsets can easily be produced with special wiring con gurations designed to suit the requirements of a speci c application. Special wiring options include: parallel wiring, series wiring, combination wiring (in which one side is parallel and the other is series), interlocking circuit wiring, and customer speci ed wiring.
