[0002] At the present stage, when injection molding a CABLE plug with an aluminum shell, generally 4 injection molding processes are required: injecting the inner mold - injecting the first outer mold - sleeving the aluminum shell - injecting the SR outer mold. During injection molding, the metal aluminum shell on the TYPE-C connector needs to be horizontally inserted into the groove inside the movable insert in advance, and the cable needs to be clamped inside the groove on the mold core.

[0003] Affected by the processing accuracy, there are certain tolerances for the metal aluminum shells on the TYPE-C connectors. When the upper tolerance of the length of the metal aluminum shell is on the long side, the injection molded parts will have bruising problems.

When the upper tolerance of the appearance size of the metal aluminum shell is on the large side, the injection molded parts will have bruising problems. The problem of the dimensional tolerance of the aluminum shell will cause bruising or flash phenomena, resulting in product rework and increasing the manufacturing cost.
