US Overmolded Cable Assemblies
Overmolded cable assemblies built in Cavite, Philippines — waterproof and sealed, with custom strain reliefs, boots, and backshells — molded, tested, and documented, with a non-China production origin. Built for US OEMs that need a China-alternative, tariff-resilient EMS partner with a documented non-China production origin, English-language support, and Section 301 / UFLPA-aware sourcing.

Overmolded Cable
Overmolds That Seal And Survive Strain.
An overmold has two jobs: relieve strain at the connector exit and seal out moisture and contaminants. Both depend on mold design, material selection, and shot discipline — not just a clean crimp. We build overmolded cable assemblies in Cavite with in-house mold engineering, so the strain relief, boot, backshell, and sealed exit are designed for the cable, the connector, and the environment instead of forced onto a stock tool.
Overmold programs run against IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 workmanship, with the termination qualified by crimp cross-section and pull force before the mold goes on. Where the application calls for waterproofing, ingress-protection performance such as IP67 or IP68 is validated against an agreed test method (immersion or pressure as specified) and documented for the program file; we are explicit in the first reply about what we test in-house versus what is routed to a customer-approved lab.
From single-cavity prototype tools to production overmolds, NPI starts at one piece on the intended production cell, and the first 12-hour RFQ reply states tooling approach, lead time, and the sealing and test plan.
In-House Mold Engineering
Custom strain reliefs, boots, backshells, and sealed exits designed and tooled in-house for USB, circular, M12, and connector-specific overmolds — not retrofitted onto stock boots.
English-Language Engineering Desk
US engineering, quality, and procurement teams work directly in English with the Cavite desk — RFQ replies, DFM notes, work instructions, and audit calls are handled in English without an extra relay layer.
Lead Time & Logistics To The US
Cavite ships to the US by air and ocean freight through standard forwarders, with the PEZA export record, commercial invoice, packing list, and Philippine certificate-of-origin support your customs broker needs. We do not file your entry or set duty rates — your broker confirms the HTS classification and current duty treatment.
Comparison
Stock-Boot Cable Shop vs XUDONG Cavite (Overmold)
Overmold buyers need a shop that owns the mold tooling and can prove the seal, not one that slides a stock boot over the connector and calls it sealed.
| Decision Factor | China-origin / single-source sourcing | XUDONG · Cavite |
|---|---|---|
| Mold tooling | Stock boots forced onto the connector; no custom strain-relief geometry. | In-house mold engineering for custom strain reliefs, boots, backshells, and sealed exits. |
| Seal validation | Waterproof claimed but not tested or documented. | Ingress-protection performance (e.g. IP67 / IP68) validated against an agreed method and documented. |
| Termination evidence | Crimp hidden under the mold with no cross-section or pull-force record. | Crimp cross-section and pull force qualified before the overmold, with records shipped. |
| Low-volume tooling | High tooling minimums before any sample is possible. | Single-cavity prototype tooling and 1-piece NPI before committing to production tooling. |
| Tariff & origin exposure for US buyers | China-origin shipments are exposed to Section 301 surcharges on the affected HTS lines, and a single China source has no documented alternate origin. | When Philippine origin is established under the applicable rules, the affected lines fall outside the China Section 301 target, giving US procurement a documented, UFLPA-aware alternate source — with the HTS classification and duty rate confirmed by your customs broker. |
Program Process
How A Program Starts
The fastest way to qualify an overseas supplier is to make the first week concrete: drawing review, engineering questions, sample plan, quality documentation, and export assumptions. That is how we structure the kickoff.
01
Send drawings, BOM, photos, or a sample
DXF, PDF, harness-board photos, connector list, annual volume, target lead time, and required documentation are enough for the first review. A mutual NDA can be signed before drawing transfer.
02
Free DFM and material review
Cavite engineering checks connector availability, crimp tooling, fixture-board need, cable jacket, test requirements, and any overmold or backshell tooling. The first reply includes NPI, pilot, and production pricing.
03
Sample on the production cell
The first article is built on the intended Cavite production cell. Cross-section photos, pull-force logs, continuity, HiPot, and dimensional checks ship with the sample.
04
Pilot lot and control-plan lock
Pilot production validates operator cycle time, fixture repeatability, connector supply, packing method, and inspection sampling. The control plan is locked only after pilot defects and customer comments are closed.
05
Production plus export package
Commercial shipments include the PEZA export record, certificate-of-origin support, invoice, packing list, and traceability records your customs broker or freight forwarder needs.
Capability Stack
Overmolded Cable Capability
Overmolded assemblies designed, tooled, molded, and tested in-house, with the sealing and termination evidence the application requires.
Custom strain reliefs
Strain-relief boots and exits designed for the cable OD, connector, and flex demand of the application.
Waterproof & sealed overmolds
Sealed overmolds for ingress-protection requirements such as IP67 / IP68, validated against an agreed test method.
Connector-specific overmolds
USB, circular, M12, and connector-specific overmolds with backshells and boots tooled to the part.
In-house mold tooling
Single-cavity prototype tools through production overmold tooling, engineered and maintained in-house.
Termination & test
Crimp cross-section, pull force, continuity, HiPot, and insulation resistance qualified before and after the mold.
Documentation
FAI, control plans, material declarations, and IPC/WHMA-A-620 records for the program file.
Facility
One Philippines Floor, Group Engineering Behind It.
The Cavite plant sits inside the broader XUDONG group footprint, which spans tooling, mold engineering, and connector sourcing across Asia. That gives the Philippines floor engineering depth and supplier leverage while keeping production origin, labor base, export process, and customer-facing communication Philippines-based.
For a transfer program that balance is the point: close enough to the Asian tooling and connector network to retain engineering leverage, but with a real non-China production origin and an English-speaking interface for overseas buyers.
