The customer needed a military grade communication assembly that could withstand water immersion. One of the design elements gave them trouble: a molded splice junction. The original design required multiple injection molding steps but still did not create a reliable seal against water. As a result, the assembly repeatedly failed leak testing and required additional sealant applications.
SOLUTION:
Whitney Blake designed and incorporated an ultrasonically welded shell to enclose the junction. The manufacturing process was reduced to a
one-step molding operation that created a secure water seal. The new welded shell
passed 99% of the leak tests and eliminated the need for multiple sealant applications. The design enhancements also
reduced process time by 10%.
