Single-Channel Connectors: Single-Wire Technology

Single-wire connectors offer a simplified installation and are recommended for most applications. The cable consists of a single wire that transmits the charge. The mold itself acts as the electrical shield. It is therefore important that the single-wire cable and the connector are routed and installed within the mold.

Mold Machining
Mill channel or drill hole, ensuring that transitions and corners are free from sharp edges. Cover open channel with a sheet metal plate.

Installation
Cut cable to required length; do not strip sheath. Attach the connector to the cable and install inside mold with the mounting plate. Secure connector cap to the plate.

Single-Channel Connectors: Single-Wire Technology

In multicavity molds the installation is simplified with the 4-channel Type 1708A0 and 8-channel Type 1710A0  multichannel connectors. This space-saving method allows the use of multichannel extension cables that can be connected directly to monitoring equipment. Multichannel technology is therefore particularly suited for production molds. The practical Multi Sensor Set Type 6831B... with Unisens sensors is recommended for such application.

Mold Machining
Mill channel or drill hole, ensuring that transitions and corners are free from sharp edges. Cover open channel with a sheet metal plate.

Single-Channel Connectors: Coaxial Technology

Coaxial cables are high-insulation cables and suited for special applications. They are selected if, for example, signal noise is anticipated or the cable has to be routed outside the mold. A range of cables with fixed standard lengths and integral connectors is available.

Mold Machining
Mill channel, ensuring that transitions and corners are free from sharp edges. Cover open channel with a sheet metal plate.

The example shows the channel for the Type 6157B... series

Installation
Attach the connector to the cable and install inside mold with the mounting plate. Secure the connector cap to the plate.

Temperature Amplifiers

Kistler’s extensive range of temperature sensors and combined pressure and temperature sensors includes the option of using a miniature temperature amplifier. Integration the temperature amplifier into the mold allows simpler transmission of signals to monitoring equipment. The Multi Sensor Set Type 6833A... is the most suitable multichannel solution for this purpose.

Installation
Strip sheaths of compensation leads and connect to the temperature amplifier. When mounting the Multi Sensor Set Type 6833..., connect the single-wire cables to the multichannel connector and mount in the mold, securing the connector caps to the plate.
