Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps

Circular connectors are one of the most widely used connectivity solutions in the industrial world. Most commonly used for military and aerospace applications, they are also popular in the automotive, medical, audio-video, telecommunications, and power industries. The latest connector in this category is the 2M380MS137M0905-8.

Backshells and cable clamps are an essential part of circular connectors. A backshell is the outer part of the circular connectors. It provides mechanical, environmental, and electrical protection for the connectors. It also safeguards cables and wires from possible damage in applications where they need to be routed. It is made of different materials depending on where it will be used. For uses in wet and/or corrosive environment, a stainless steel backshell provides the best protection.

Cable clamps, also known as strain reliefs, provide strain relief for circular connectors in order to ensure that the internal components of the connector are not damaged or strained. The clamps provide better grip, enabling a secure connection and preventing the connector from accidental disconnection. When used properly, they reduce the amount of stress and strain on internal components, which reduces cable and wire damage.

The 2M380MS137M0905-8 is a wedge-clamp type of circular connectors. It has a clamp that provides additional grip to hold the connector in place, giving it a secure connection. It comes with an Expanded Beam Technology (EBT) contact, which is a mechanical interface between the mating connectors. This interface ensures a secure connection, providing better signal integrity. The 2M380MS137M0905-8 is also tested for vibration and shock resistance, so it is a great choice for applications that require reliable connections in extreme environments.

As for applications, the 2M380MS137M0905-8 can be used a wide variety of applications such as military and aerospace connectivity, automotive and medical equipment, telecommunications, power cables, audio-video systems, and industrial applications. In terms of working principle, it is designed to ensure a secure connection between a connector and a receptacle. This is achieved by using a clamping mechanism and an EBT contact. Additionally, it also offers an excellent signal performance, ensuring a reliable connection.

In conclusion, the 2M380MS137M0905-8 circular connector is an ideal solution for many industrial applications. It offers a secure connection and improved signal performance. It has a wedge-clamp which provides additional grip, and the Expanded Beam Technology (EBT) contact ensures a secure interface between the connector and the receptacle. Backshells and cable clamps provide further protection and strain relief for the connector, making it a great choice for demanding applications.
