lasts long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!”
Can I buy my Cords & Accessories from you?
Absolutely. We sell to all levels of the market.
From distributors and electrical wholesalers, to OEMs, to other cable assembly houses and harness makers to electricians, installers, contractors, as well as end users.
How should I handle my cords?
Please bear in mind that many of these cords contain fine electrical/electronic wires.
Some of strands of which can be as small as a 0.05 of a mm. That’s about 1/2 the size of human hair.... and as such can be fragile. If handled roughly can be damaged.
Just because cable can look like rope, please don’t handle it like rope.
To ensure long life please treat your cords with respect.
On your website you talk about conductor size. How does that work?
Generally we refer to the conductor size by Cross Sectional Area.
To work out the cross sectional area of a wire you need to know the strand size (usually expressed as the Diameter), and the Number or strands. The actual formula we use is “Pi R Squared “
For example 32/.2 is a common stranding size. That means there is 32 individual strands that make up an actual conductor. And each strand is 0.2mm in Diameter
So to work our it’s square mm size we take the strand diameter 0.2 Squared x 3.14 (Pi) x 32 (the number of the strands) which all makes 1mm^2 Clear as mud I bet!
In the automotive industry Another common way to refer to wire size is to use the measurement across the wire (including the insulation). As in “4mm auto”. The difficulty here is the insulation thickness varies between different cables. This is largely based on voltage rating, and varying dielectric strength of the insulation materials as well as different Various Standards and relevant manufacturer’s specifications.
For example “4 mm auto” can be 2 mm˛, But we have heard of it ranging from 4 mm˛, 2 mm˛, 1.85 mm˛, and even 1.25 mm˛,
All of which would have a large baring on the current carrying capacity of the cord.
That’s why we normally talk about Square mm (mm˛) as there is less chance for ambiguity.
You have a very large range. Do you have all of those in stock?
No. This site is designed to show some of the various types and options available. Because the highly custom nature of the cords, Most of our cords are made on demand (made to order). However we do have several varieties in stock which have become “standard” lines, as well as overruns and other incidental stock.
I want a cord that is not listed. Do you have others?
Absolutely. We have many other cords that are not listed on the website. In fact we probably have the largest range of cords available, and the range is ever expanding! Furthermore if you feel we there is a need for a particular type of cord that we don’t know about, we would love to hear about it!
I have my own sample cable/cord. Can you reproduce it for me?
Absolutely. A sample is great. We can test your old cable/cord and confirm the design/construction, then reproduce it for you.
I am not really sure what I need. Can you help?
Absolutely. In order to help you, it is beneficial if I understand how you will be using the cords. So an overview of your application is essential.
Please just drop me an E-Mail with your details together with details of the application, and I will be happy to work with you to arrive at a suitable design. |
