DIN Connectors: 3-CI Versus Everyone Else

    We live in a world of connectivity.  From the large-scale satellite communications to the microscopic circuitry inside our machines, all of this connectivity is dependent on the right signals getting to the right
places on time.  And as parts become ever more complex – and our expectations of what they can do increase – it is of vital importance that the materials used are of the highest quality.


And that’s where 3-Ci comes in.


    Lots of companies build Cables and Connectors.  You can find them everywhere, because they are used worldwide.  However, they are not all built equally, and we should know!

    Take, for example, the family of very common connectors known as DIN Connectors.  While this term covers a broad range of types and forms, let’s just focus on the ones that you would find more commonly in industry – say, the ones that connect your solenoid valves and other equipment.


What are some of the ways that 3-Ci ensures they stay functional?


    Well, like we said, lots of companies make these DIN Connectors – but none make them quite like us! We have a unique method of assembly that involves buying the circuits separately, and creating a custom Overmould structure that completely encases the connector in Polyurethane.  That means less failure, breakage, and wear, because there are no separate parts to break away on the exterior of the casing.  It also means that the gaskets are embedded directly into the mould, which provides superior seals, better flexibility, and zero chance that the gasket will crack or disappear.  And in keeping with that, we use high-quality material that offers optimal protection from the elements – our Cables and Connectors are far less susceptible to environmental issues like extreme heat or cold, water, corrosion, dust, and cracking.

    And that’s not all, either.  On top of our top-notch standards, we can also customize the Connector to fit your needs.  Whether it’s putting them at right angles (without compromising the interior), or manufacturing them with LED indicators so you can be sure the signals are getting through, we have lots of options to make sure you are satisfied and impressed.
