How does this affect me?
How does this benefit me? Well, the answer is clear, as you may know, when cables tend to fail it’s typically due to two reasons, quality of wires inside cable or quality of the assembly press crimp. Wires play a big role, many electronic manufacturers to save on material go for the lowest cost options, relying on uncertified or cloned wires. In consequence, giving the electronic a lower life cycle. For this reason, companies should rely on custom cable assemblies manufacturers that use UL certified materials and are ISO 9001 certified.
Second, the other reason is the wear and stress we put on the custom cables assemblies when connecting and disconnecting them from their applications. A notorious example of this failure are cell phone chargers. They tend to fail after 1.5-2 years from the crimp between the connector and the wires that go into the connector. The solution to this is the specialty 3M Assembly Press tool we have, that different from other 3M Assembly presses we have invested in, can crimp on a special plastic film that bonds onto the wires connecting into the connector to make a harder bond.
