Omni Matrix solutions for
CV cabled connectors
The heavy commercial truck segment
has grown by leaps and bounds in the
past decade. The technology earlier
seen only in passenger luxury vehicles
has now been integrated in many ad-
vanced commercial vehicles as the
industry standard. As a result, this
calls for a more superior and robust
construction in the way the signals
are transmitted from the cab to the
trailer.
To answer this need, Omni Matrix Pvt.
Ltd. has developed end-to-end solutions for
the complete range of coiled cabled connectors
for different types of commercial vehicles, with
options for different signals to be transmitted.
There are six variants of these connectors with
customizable end assemblies and sockets.
Termination of the wires on the company
products is not achieved by using fasteners
or solder but by using a proven, more reliable
crimping technology. Crimping is performed
on the insulator as well as the conductor, which
helps in reducing the forces acting on the contact,
thereby prolonging the life of the product.
The contacts are stamped, thereby reducing the
weight of the input copper, and the design of the
contact helps reduce arcing during operation.
The design of this product has taken into con-
sideration the ease of assembly by avoiding
mechanical fasteners and using threads and
snap fits instead.
Omni Matrix Pvt. Ltd. is engaged in
manufacturing jumper cables for the heavy
vehicle segment. It will start supplying to
OEM customers from early next year. It
has stamping, precision machining and
injection moulding facilities located
in Bangalore for manufacturing high
precison, high volume parts.
