Rectangular Cable Assemblies

0923150805 application field and working principle

Rectangular cable assemblies are a kind of electrical connectors designed to provide a reliable interconnection between a wide range of different electronic connections, which provide a combination of power, signal, and data communication. They are commonly used in industrial, aerospace, military, and telecommunications applications where long life and ease of use are key factors in the selection process.

Application Field

Rectangular cable assemblies offer a large selection of features for numerous industrial applications. Rectangular cable assemblies are primarily used in commercial product designs to ensure reliable connection from the input to the output. Common uses include power distribution, data communication, instrumentation, hot-swap lighting circuits, and control systems.

Working Principle

When a current is applied to the assembly, a magnetic field is created around the cable. This creates a voltage on the conductor which is in turn used to power the circuit. The voltage on each wire in the assembly is determined by the amount of current and the number of strands in the assembly. Another way of looking at this is that the higher the current, the larger the voltage difference across the assembly and vice versa.

Rectangular cable assemblies are designed to be durable and reliable, even in the most challenging environments. They are commonly available in both ends-open and ends-closed configurations and are generally available in multiple sizes and configurations. Included in the design are movable terminals which allow for installation without a need for splicing. This leads to the added benefit of reduced labor costs and time during the installation process.
