Cable assemblies for flat, data and round cables – from component purchasing to tested delivery
Kabelkonfektion Kurtaran GmbH
Steinhausen (Zug), Switzerland · Zugerstrasse 14, 6312 SteinhausenNew on Amplifa
Family business with over 30 years of experience in cable assembly
Kabelkonfektion Kurtaran GmbH is a family business in Steinhausen in the canton of Zug, specialising in custom cable and wire assembly. The offering includes flat ribbon cables (standard and halogen-free, pitches 0.635–2.54 mm), data cables shielded and unshielded, round cables (power, patch, control and drag chain cables), round-flat and laminated cables as well as wires with cross-sections from 0.05 to 12.5 mm². The processing steps range from cutting to length with semi- and fully automatic machines to crimping, lead-free soldering and tinning, insulation displacement technology, pressing, shrink-wrapping, twisting for EMC optimisation through to assembly and marking. The company handles the entire service from component purchasing to delivery of tested assemblies, or processes supplied products as contract work. Work is done from prototypes to small series to large orders, exclusively in its own workshop in Steinhausen. Customers come from mechanical engineering, logistics, medical technology, industrial electronics, household appliances and climate technology; partnerships exist with 3M and Würth Elektronik (Schweiz) AG.
