Custom Molex Cable Assemblies
Y.C. Cable manufactures custom Molex cable assemblies for OEMs, equipment manufacturers, and product developers using customer-specified Molex connector systems.
Assemblies are manufactured according to customer-approved drawings, bills of materials (BOM), connector and terminal part numbers, pinouts, wire specifications, cable lengths, and testing requirements.
If your product already specifies a Molex connector family or exact part number, our team can review the documentation for component sourcing, manufacturing, inspection, and production requirements.
Built Around Your Molex Connector Requirements
A Molex cable assembly should be defined around the exact connector and terminal configuration required by the finished equipment.
Useful project information may include:
• Molex housing part number
• Terminal or contact part number
• Mating connector information
• Number of circuits
• Wire gauge and conductor type
• Wire color
• Cable or wire length
• Pinout
• Connector orientation
• Labeling requirements
• Protective materials
• Inspection and testing requirements
Providing exact manufacturer part numbers helps reduce ambiguity during quotation and sourcing.
Molex Cable Assembly Configurations
Depending on the customer-approved design, configurations may include:
• Wire-to-board connections
• Wire-to-wire connections
• Power connections
• Signal connections
• Multi-conductor assemblies
• Point-to-point cable assemblies
• Multi-branch configurations
• Internal equipment wiring
• Connector-to-connector assemblies
• Custom labeled assemblies
Y.C. Cable does not select a Molex connector solely based on a general application description. The connector system should match the electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements defined for the project.
For projects that are not tied to a specific connector family, visit Custom Cable Assembly.
Wire, Pinout & Length Customization
Cable construction may be customized according to customer requirements including:
• Wire gauge
• Conductor count
• Wire colors
• Cable length
• Dimensional tolerances
• Pin-to-pin configuration
• Circuit identification
• Shielding and grounding
• Protective sleeving
• Heat-shrink
• Labels
• Strain relief
The approved drawing and BOM should define the final production configuration.
Protection & Overmolding Options
Some Molex-based assemblies may require additional mechanical protection at the connector or cable transition.
Depending on the project, options may include:
• Heat-shrink protection
• Protective sleeving
• Cable jackets
• Strain relief
• Boots
• Connector protection
• Overmolding
If molded connector protection is required, visit our Overmolded Cable Assemblies page.
Component Sourcing
Y.C. Cable can source components according to the customer-approved BOM and part-number information.
If a specified connector or terminal becomes unavailable, obsolete, or subject to a sourcing issue, a potential alternative may be identified for customer review.
Any substitute component should be approved before production use.
Prototype to Production
Molex cable assembly projects may support:
• Engineering prototypes
• NPI builds
• First articles
• Design validation
• Low-volume production
• Repeat production
• Ongoing OEM manufacturing
For development-stage projects, visit Quick-Turn Cable Assembly Prototyping.
For released designs with approved drawings and BOMs, visit Build-to-Print Cable Assembly Services.
Manufacturing & Inspection
Depending on the approved design, manufacturing may include:
• Wire cutting
• Insulation stripping
• Crimping
• Terminal insertion
• Connector assembly
• Soldering when specified
• Protective sleeving
• Heat-shrink application
• Overmolding when specified
• Labeling
• Electrical testing
• Visual and dimensional inspection

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Y.C. Cable manufacture using a specific Molex part number?
Yes. Customer-approved Molex housing and terminal part numbers can be used as part of the manufacturing BOM.
Do I need to provide both the housing and terminal part numbers?
Providing both is recommended whenever they are defined in your design because it helps clarify the exact connector configuration.
Can Molex cable assemblies include overmolding?
Yes, when the connector geometry, tooling, material, and project requirements are suitable for overmolding.
Can you manufacture prototypes before production?
Yes. Prototype and first-article builds can be reviewed before transition to repeat production.
