Core Advantages
1. 1+1 Cavity Flexible Production
The 1+1 cavity design balances cost and productivity. It can be used for prototype testing, sample confirmation and formal small-batch mass production in one set of mold. It saves extra tooling cost and shortens project cycle for new product development.
2. S136 Steel for Long-Term Clean Molding
S136 stainless steel with HRC48-52 high hardness delivers excellent rust resistance and chemical stability. It will not get oxidized or stained during long-term production, keeping the inner cavity clean. Meanwhile, its high wear resistance ensures consistent precision after hundreds of thousands of shots, perfectly fit for hygienic production requirements.
3. Runner System Adapted to Soft TPU
TPU 55 Shore A has relatively high viscosity. The large sprue provides sufficient and steady material supply to avoid short shots and material stagnation. The side gate is arranged on non-key surface areas, which will not affect the appearance and flexibility of slender distal leads, and simplifies post-processing work.
4. Professional Molding for 55 Shore A TPU
We optimize cooling channels and demolding structure according to the physical properties of 55 Shore A soft TPU. It effectively prevents the soft part from stretching, sticking to mold and permanent deformation during demolding. The final products maintain stable elasticity and soft touch all the time.
5. Precision for Slender Distal Lead
For long and thin distal lead parts, the mold adopts high-precision matching technology. All dimensions are strictly controlled to guarantee smooth assembly and reliable connection performance. No sharp edges or burrs, safe for daily use.

FAQ
Q1: Why choose S136 steel for this distal lead mold?
A1: S136 features great anti-rust and anti-corrosion performance, which keeps the mold cavity clean. Its high hardness also resists wear from long-term continuous production.
Q2: What is the characteristic of TPU 55 Shore A?
A2: It is medium soft TPU with good elasticity, bending resistance and comfort touch, widely used for flexible connecting leads.
Q3: What is the advantage of side gate for slender lead parts?
A3: Side gate will not leave obvious marks on main surface, and will not damage the soft structure of TPU parts, ensuring good appearance and performance.
Q4: Can you adjust TPU hardness or part size as required?
A4: Yes. We can optimize mold structure and parameters to match different TPU hardness and customized part dimensions.
