Coroplast – experience and innovation from one single provider

Coroplast is a traditional, family-owned company that has built its reputation on flexibility, innovative strength and reliability since 1928. Production facilities in Germany, Poland, Tunisia and China, plus over twenty repres-entative offices and service centres all over the world, demonstrate our global presence and guarantee optimum customer service.

Over recent years, Coroplast has successfully expanded its Wire & Cable division’s operations in the automotive market segment. It has developed modern insulation and sheathing materials that are in line with customer requirements and have contributed to the successful extension of the wire & cable product portfolio. Today, Coroplast is provider of a comprehensive range of modern wires and cables. The new Coroflex TT3 automotive wires for continuous use at operating temperatures of up to 125 °C confirm Coroplast’s first mover status in the development of forward-looking product technology. This new generation of automotive wires are suitable for vehicles with hybrid power trains and for fuel cell wiring applications. The new Coroflex TT3 wires are a thermoplastic alternative to cross-linked wires because they render energy-intensive cross-linking unnecessary. Sustained energy savings are not the only ecological advantage of this new generation of wires. The Coroflex TT3 wires are lighter than other wires in the temperature class of up to 125 °C. Coroflex TT3 wires already support efforts to reduce the weight of vehicle wiring systems and therefore cut back on fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. All Coroflex TT3 insulating materials are recyclable.

PVC- and PUR-sheathed cables

Application: Passenger and commercial vehicles – passenger and engine compartmentsSensor and control cables; power supply


Round sheathed cables

Sheathed cables are always used for automotive applications where the cables have to satisfy particularly stringent requirements. The strand lay lengths are fixed, even if the outer sheath has a tight bending radius. Chemical and mechanical resistance are considerably enhanced by the sheath. Gas and watertight overmoulding of grommets and the like can only be achieved with round sheathed cables. The selection of suitable insulation and outer sheathing materials is oriented on your requirements.

An extensive range of standard and special materials is available.

Hybrid sheathed cables

Hybrid sheathed cables perform several functions. The large-diameter wires enable efficient power supply and the small-diameter wires are used for control functions and data communication.

Our state-of-the-art production technology enables the integration of pre-stranded wire pairs - as electrical shields for voice circuits if required. Our experienced cable designers develop robust and assembly-friendly solutions.

Flat sheathed cables

Sheathed cables aren‘t always round. Depending on requirements, we extrude sheathed cables in accordance with your specific requirements. Flat sheathed cables are in widespread use. The single wires run parallel to each other underneath the outer sheath. A specific distance between the wires ensures a safe contacting process.

Depending on which insulation and sheathing material you choose, IDC technology is also an option. Flat designs with pre-stranded wires can also be implemented if required.We look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Sheathed cables, shielded

Application: Passenger and engine compartmentDesign for shielded automotive cables, Sensor and control cables, power supplyShielding measures to filter EMC-interferences

The use of either shielded or unshielded cables in vehicles depends on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) require-ments of the system. In addition to the stranding of individual wires, which is the most common and inexpens ive method of

shielding, metal foil shields, spiral shields and braided shields are also used. The abovementioned sheathing options can also be combined for specific ap plication or vehicle installation situations.

Metal foil shield

The element to be shielded is enclosed in metal foil. The electrical contact is established by way of a stranded drain wire. It can either be a separate stranded wire or a wire with a conductive coating. This enables the use of proven and inexpensive insulation crimp technology without the need for any additional heat shrinking sleeves.

Spiral shield

Single wires made of metal (e.g. copper) are spun in a coil around the element to be shielded. Degrees of optical coverage of approx. 96% are possible.

The required shield attenuation depends on the effective use of the metal and the degree of optical coverage. Spiral shields are good for highly flexible applications because of their variable design parameters.

Braided shield

The braided shield is made of multiple metal wires that are braided diagon-ally together. Normally, braided shields are used to prevent high frequency interference. High frequency transmission cables (antenna cables) have braided shields.

Optical coverage of approximately 85% is reflected in very efficient shield attenuation.

PUR-sheathed cables for ABS application

Application: Wheelhouse wiringABS, brake lining indicator, dynamic chassis control, headlamp levelling

Operating temperature range according to ISO 6722–40 °C to +125 °C/3000 h –40 °C to +150 °C/3240 h

ABS sensor cables

In the product group ABS cables, requirements of the highest order are fulfilled for connecting the ABS sensor of the wheel to the electronic control box. The wiring in the wheelhouse requires a safe signal transmission during all vibrations and motions of the chassis and the steering wheel. Environmental influences, e.g. stone chipping or low temperature, require a total quality from the cable during the life span of the vehicle.

These cables are manufactured in fully-automated production processes as a result of the widespread use of ABS systems in vehicles. Our cable surfaces are designed to satisfy the customer’s specific requirements and these customised surfaces make process-safe and low-tolerance over-moulding of grommets etc. possible.

ABS sensor and brake lining indicator

Vehicles’ servicing intervals are continuously extended to save costs. An additional safety feature is a brake lining indicator in the vehicle’s cockpit. For this purpose, the two core ABS sensor cable requires two additional wires for the indicator.

The whole range of requirements on the ABS cable is met by this four core, ABS and break lining indicator cable. The use of modern insulation and sheathing material guarantees compliance with the total demands on the cable and also on future applications.

ABS cable harness

Besides the production of ABS cables, Coroplast features the assembly of these cables to ABS cable harnesses. Optional functions, e.g. brake lining indicator, headlamp leveling, dynamic chassis control, tyre pressure control are a matter of course.

In-house injection moulding of all the sleeves and plug contacts demon-strate that Coroplast is a qualified and innovative partner.

Silicone-insulated battery and generator cables

Application: Engine compartment and gear boxHighly flexible even at low operating temperatures


Silicone rubber is distinguished as an insulation and sheathing material by its outstanding flexibility at extremely low temperatures in combination with a long life span at extremely high temperatures. Modern, highly tear resistant special silicone compounds facilitate applications in par-ticularly critical areas where high mechanical stresses exist without any impairment to the other temperature properties.

Silicone compounds with optimised outgassing properties demonstrate excellent mechanical properties. Cables with these low-fogging silicone types are used in places where fogging could cause interference, such as on headlamp reflectors. We offer a comprehensive range of state of the art silicone cables. Please contact us for further information.

High voltage cables for hybrid and electric vehicles

Application: Engine compartment and gearboxHigh voltage cable harnesses, high voltage batteries, power electronics, fuel cells

Operating voltage according to ISO 6722Voltage class 600 volt ACVoltage class 600 volt DC

Cables for high voltage cable harnesses

New electric mild or full hybrid drivetrains in vehicles necessitate innovative high voltage cables that are specifically designed for voltage classes of 60 volt and more. These special cables are already used in conventional electric vehicles and, in future, they will also be used in fuel cell electric vehicles. They enable a continuous power supply of up to 600 volt and are designed on the basis of the internationally recognised automotive wire norm ISO 6722.

Particular significance is accorded to the specific insulation resist-ance of the polymers in continuous operation under moist climatic conditions. The continuous operation temperature range is between temperature class T2 up to +105 °C and temperature class T6 up to +200 °C.

The requirement of high operating temperatures is due to the fact that these cables are installed in the engine compartment and gear-box and as a result of the electrical heat generated by operational cables. The Coroflex TT3 product family is suitable for applications in temperature class T3 +125 °C. Modern silicone materials are recommended for higher temperatures and due to their outstanding cost effectiveness. For generations now, silicone has proven to be a reliable insulation material for high voltage-resistant ignition cables in vehicles with petrol engines. In addition to high cable flexibility, Coroplast’s modern silicone mater ials deliver far superior mechanical resistance than earlier compounds. This is evident by their improved tear resistance at thermoplastic and TPE level.

Two fundamentally different cable designs are necessary in electric vehicles.

High voltage power transmission

Shielded and unshielded single wires with cross-sections of between 4.0 mm² and 50 mm² are available for power transmission between the high voltage battery and the power electronics and to connect the power electronics and the electric engine. Polarity reversal protection is ensured by coloured vertical smear-proof stripes on the outer sheath.

Unit power supply

Multicore sheathed cables, some with additional data transmission elements, are used to supply electrical power to other units such as the air-conditioning compressor or oil pumps.

All high voltage cables are visually recognisable by the signal colour orange. All cables in operating voltage class 600 volt can also have a warning text printed on the outer sheath.

High temperature sheathed cables

High temperature sheathed cables are used in areas of the vehicle whichexpose them to continuous operating temperatures of +150 °C and over. These wires are generally installed in the engine compartment, e.g. wiring harnesses installed directly on top of the engine block.

Automotive applications such as crankshaft speed (rpm) sensor, knock sensor and sensor cables for high performance fuel injection engines necessitate the use of shielded control and sensor cables.

The increase of modern engine controls and automatic gear transmission have driven up demand for cables. The stringent requirements of automot ive customers can only be fulfilled through the use of high performance insulation and sheathing materials in conjunction with application-oriented special cable designs.

Sheathed cables for infotainment application

Application: Passenger compartmentConnector cable for telematics, CD changer and car phone


Special cables for on-board infotainment applications

Demand for modern on-board infotainment systems is continually increas ing. Electrical signals are constantly transmitted from point to point, i.e. control, audio and video information is transported via electrically conduct ive media for modern in-vehicle sound, video, DVD, telecom-munication and online connections. Customer and system-specific cable designs are necessary for these applications.

Video and audio signals have to be transmitted with very low attenuation and cross-talk has to be effectively prevented. High frequency harmonics from the signal and power supply cables have to be prevented from interfering with the voice circuits.

There are also customer specific requirements with respect to automated and competitively priced cable assembly which necessitate extensive cable development experience. Many alternative design and shielding methods, such as low-cost foil shields with drain wires that are coated in conductive materials or high frequency attenuating polymers for specific low-pass applications are available to our cable developers.

High frequency filter cables

High frequency filter cables

High frequency noise signals interfere with the electrical system of a modern car so that an interference suppressor has to be integrated into the housing. This conventional but costly interference suppression demands very high requirements on the process ability for contacting and assembly.

An innovative alternative are the Coroplast high frequency filter cables. In these cables the necessary low-pass – depending upon the function – is integrated into the electrical connecting cable. Due to its special design, this cable is in a position to filter the high frequency interference from the electrical system where it is not desired, e.g. pyro-technical seat belt retention system.

The conductor is coated with a filter compound with magnetic properties. High frequency (HF) oscillations lead to a rapid magnetising and demagnetising of this coating. Because of non-reversible magnetising processes, some losses occur, so that the HF-energy is transformed into heat. These losses correlate to the frequency and increase with it. The figure besides shows the equivalent electric circuit of a homogeneous cable. In this circuit, the filtering property of the cable is expressed by the frequency dependent impedance Z(f).

A large area of utilisation for this HF filter cable is the control of the pyro-technical seat belt retention system. Besides the described and necessary decoupling elements, depending upon the specific application, cost savings of the contacting system can also be demonstrated. Coroplast HF filter cable can be connected to a pyro-technical sensor without an additional connecting system.

The figure shows some typical attenuation curves as a function of frequency up to 3000 MHz. Let us know your requirements. Our specialists will be pleased to advise you.

HF filter cables work with specially developed filter compounds. Conventional conductor designs and our high-class insulation materials are continuously coated with HF filter compounds in an economical production process. Since the design parameters are in line with the agreed standards, the conventional contacting system is used without any difficulty. The filter cables are very similar to the conventional sheathed cables and hence can visually be identified only at a second glance. It is only the function – filtering of the high frequency interference from the electrical system in the vehicle – which differentiates them from the standard cables.

Our cables are customized designs. Design examples are shown here with two core sheathed cable for the broad field of pyrotechnical applications. Depending on the attenuation requirement one or two HF filter cores are used. A shield additionally influences the attenuation behaviour and hence clearly the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

Preference is given to shielded cables with economical foil shield in com-bination with conductive materials coated drain wires. Further information is available on page 14 “Sheathed cables, shielded“ of this catalogue.

Everywhere, where electronic components of the electrical system are negatively influenced by high frequency, Coroplast high frequency filter cable can help – economically and efficiently. Please contact us.

Aluminium cables

Conductor material aluminium

Aluminium cables with nominal cross-sections of approx. 10 mm² and more are used in road vehicles to save weight. A direct comparison of aluminium and copper demonstrates the weight advantage of aluminium with the material-related limitation on tensile strength.

The table of parameters containing information about electrical resistance shows options for direct substitution with the reference conductor material of copper.

Depending on the necessary operating temperatures, aluminium cables are produced with the insulation materials of PVC via Coroflex TT3 up to mechanically modified and low-outgassing silicone compounds.

High-speed data transmission in vehicles (HSD)

Modern data transmission in vehicles necessitates special cables which are adapted to automotive requirements and optimised for data transmission. Standard home and office solutions have their limitations as a result of strong EMC interference affecting the vehicle’s electrical system.

Specially modified insulation and sheathing materials guarantee high reliab ility throughout the vehicle’s entire lifespan. Carefully selected design parameters guarantee high interference resistance and high near-end cross-talk attenuation. The low attenuation of the cable enables larger connecting lengths in the vehicle. Impedance and mutual capacitance are in line with the corresponding systems.

The vehicle-friendly development of quad cables, which have proven their efficiency over decades, reduces signal frequency differences in the individual voice circuits. Compared with the multi-twisted pair cables, quad designs more effectively meet the higher bending requirements in tailgate or lift-up arm rest applications.

The assembly friendly connections of the symmetrical data cables for audio and video transmission are also suitable for your system.

Packaging units

Coroplast offers tailor-made packaging units depending on the type, form and weight of the cable and on the cable diameter. A number of choices are possible. Some examples of conventional and usually used units are as follows.

The cable packet is normally recommended for lightweight single wires. As one way packaging, this unit occupies the least space.

A real returnable packaging unit (multi-way) is the cable bundle. It is quick and easy to dismantle for the return transport and refilling.

In addition to the Coroplast drum (barrel) as returnable package (multi-way), the octagonal drum is suitable to carry the same capacity as a one-way package. Both package units are available in 400 mm and 800 mm height.

Typical packaging units for the sheathed cables and heavy weight battery and generator cables are the plywood and plastic reels. Both units are dismountable for the return transport and can be reused.

Plywood reels are available in 600 mm and 800 mm diameter whereas the plastic reels from 270 mm up to 800 mm diameter suitably meet all requirements.
