Audio Connectors (Can be Molded)

Our injection- and insert-molding capabilities allow us to produce a wide variety of overmolded MIL-SPEC connectors for military communication systems. These ruggedized, combat-proven assemblies include shielded cables to ensure communication integrity in the field.

We design our overmolded military communications systems wire and cable components to withstand the extreme temperatures that are typically found in the theater of war. Years of cable-building experience have given us the knowledge to produce military cable systems that deliver reliable peak performance in harsh environments and severe weather conditions.

Minnesota Wire offers a broad range of conductor materials. We frequently work with:

Beryllium Copper Wire

Tinned Copper Wire

Carbon Fiber Wire

Radio Translucent iStealth^® Wire

Insulation options include polyurethane, HDPE, and Teflon^®

Our defense application engineers can assist in managing your project and help you in developing the perfect design to meet your military systems requirements.
