Compact Multi Port Connector
Small multi-port connector with barbed outlets on three axes.
Compact Multi Port Connector
Compact Multi Port Connector is one of the parts molded on tooling built at our Dongguan shop. Small multi-port connector with barbed outlets on three axes.
The DFM we issue for a part like this carries the gating pictures, the main mold layout with dimensions, the parting and insert split lines and the ejection concept, and it goes to you for comment before fabrication starts.
Cavity and core steel is machined on our own CNC and EDM equipment, inspected dimensionally after machining, and the electrodes are checked for dimension and surface finish before they are burnt.
Key Benefits
- Steel certification and hardness inspection on incoming material
- Mold motion simulation on complex multi-action tooling
- Design review meeting before the design reaches you
- Reply to every enquiry inside 24 hours
Problems It Solves
- Long silences between the purchase order and the first sign of progress
- Cavity finishes agreed after the steel was cut instead of before
- Suppliers who cannot read a mold standard written in English
Who It Is For
- Plumbing and sanitary system manufacturers
- Automotive and appliance fluid circuit suppliers
- Irrigation and water treatment equipment makers
- Assemblers sourcing a family of matched fittings
Application Scenarios
- Barbed connectors and tee pieces
- Threaded elbows and adaptor bodies
- Multi-port manifolds and valve housings
- Y connectors and branch fittings
How the Tool Behind Compact Multi Port Connector Is Built
- Design
Full 3D mold design completed to one hundred percent and checked in a design review meeting.
- DFM and MoldFlow
A written DFM for your comment, and filling, packing, warpage and cooling analysis on mass production tools.
- Machining
CNC and EDM work with steel inspected dimensionally after machining and electrodes inspected before burning.
- Trial and inspection
Mold trial with trial report and sample dimension report, then final mold and packing inspection.

Customization
Mold standard, cavity count, gating strategy, surface finish and mold base supplier are all specified per project. Tell us what your own standard requires and it is folded into the DFM rather than handled as a change later.
Compared With a Prototype Tool
A production mold for Compact Multi Port Connector is built to run for more than 1 million shots and is documented with a trial report and a sample dimension report. A rapid prototype mold answers a different question — is the design right — at a lower price and a faster lead time, and is not built for that life. If the design is still moving, the prototype stage is usually the cheaper route into the production tool.
Rapid Prototype MoldsUse Guide
- Send 3D part data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA, SolidWorks
- State the resin or alloy, the annual volume and the mold standard
- Comment on the DFM before fabrication — that is the cheapest point to change anything
- Review the trial report and sample dimension report against your own drawing before release
- Keep the mold standard on file so spares stay available locally

Is a prototype tool worth it before the production mold?
It is when the design is not yet frozen. Rapid prototype mold making is one of our listed services, priced low and built for a fast lead time, and what the trial shows feeds the DFM for the production tool.
How long does a quotation take for Compact Multi Port Connector?
We return a professional mold quotation within 2 working days. Send the 3D data, the resin and the expected annual volume and that is usually enough to quote without a second round of questions.
Which 3D formats can you issue for Compact Multi Port Connector?
We issue mold design data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA, SolidWorks. Tell us which one your toolroom opens natively and we will work in that.
What will we receive when the mold for Compact Multi Port Connector is tried?
Mold trial reports together with a sample dimension report (FAI). Those documents are what any later dimensional discussion is settled against.
