Other services include:
- Manufactured to your specifications – we can often source alternatives which are backwards compatible with many leading brands at a more cost-effective price, MOQ or delivery time
- We are able to design custom cables assemblies to meet the most demanding of applications
- Fully tested – all assemblies and harnesses will be tested for continuity and shorts, giving you the confidence that will enable you to install directly
- Additional testing can be done in accordance with your specific applications
- We can provide samples and demo kits, design consultancy and facilities for pre-EMC compliance testing, to accelerate and smooth your product development process
- We also offer complete maintenance and repair services, so that you know your system is in safe hands

Discover our range of technologies
Solder, crimp and insulation displacement connectors (IDC)
Crimping, soldering and IDC produce high-performing, long-lasting cable connections.
Crimping forms an air-tight seal between the cable and connector, forming protection from moisture, dirt and debris and generally offers strong, reliable connections. With many traditional solder connector terminations now supplemented by a high reliability vibration resistant crimp termination. IDC connector systems offer mass termination removing the need to strip, solder or crimp each wire individually.
We offer a range of these termination options across interconnect solutions including solder terminals, crimp contacts and insulation displacement (IDC) for mass termination.
Over moulded connector assembly
Over moulding provides an effective method of increasing the strength and protection to a circular connector lead assembly. It includes increased strain relief, biocompatibility and improved ergonomics and IP (ingress) protection which has led to increased use of this capability within demanding markets such as automotive, industrial and medical.
Providing you with a unique combination of off the shelf and custom assembly capabilities – you have access to connectors from industry leaders such as Hirose and Amphenol sourcing a wide range of miniature, industrial and circular connectors which can then be incorporated into bespoke over moulded assemblies.
We can assist you with specific over-moulding requirements with our own in-house capabilities for a wide variety of over-moulded cable solutions.
Coaxial cable interconnect
These durable and easy to install interconnect solutions are mainly used to connect antenna facilities and transmitting RF signals. There are a few different types that vary by gauge and impedance with transmission speeds of up to 10Mbps.
We offer adaptors, terminators, and custom cable assemblies from leading manufacturers, with sizes ranging from microminiature UFL and MMCX through to TNC and UHF and qualified, as well as automotive specific products and high-performance microwave cable assemblies.
Other options include, a customised hybrid interconnect solution including signal and coaxial, as well a rigid or semi-rigid coaxial cable for high frequency applications and ruggedised coaxial cable assemblies for outdoor applications for high performances in temperature extremes, UV, or long exposition to moisture or immersion.
Flat ribbon cables
Used within high density electronic systems where high flexibility is required, flexible circuit interconnection systems offer many advantages over round cable systems where space and weight should be considered.
Flexible flat cable (FFC) -These cables usually consist of a plastic film, to which multiple metallic connectors are bonded and the spacing between each connector is referred to as the ‘pitch’.
Wide range of FFC options:
- Shielded or non-shielded
- In 0.5mm and 1.0 mm pitch
- From 4 to 60 pts with customised lengths
- Our FFCs all use a UL certified dielectric
- Compatible with High-Speed signals (USB 2.0, LVDS, etc.)
- Static or dynamic applications are available
- Manufactured with ergo or notch to ensure compatibility with all connector options
Flexible printed circuit (FPC) – These allow a fully customised inter-connections where space, weight and complex path are required. Components such as IC, circular connectors, chips, LEDs can also be integrated to the FPC.
These are extremely reliable in high vibration, controlled impedance and dynamic flexing applications and these are available in many different options including, single and double sided, multi-layer, rigid, unshielded and over moulded.
Smart custom cable assemblies
Smart cable assemblies incorporate encapsulated electronics including PCB’s, active and passive components. Also known as an intelligent cable, the circuit enables additional functionality ranging from protection to conversion of signals from one standard to another.
Smart cables also offer cost-effective interconnect solution enabling integration of components within a cable assembly in one discrete package and bring a reduction in weight and space that can be of great advantage for smaller devices within applications such as medical.
Ruggedised and harsh environment assemblies
