Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps

Circular connectors are used for two purposes in modern electronic systems: to transfer signals through a cable and to shield or protect the system from interference. Circular connectors are typically customized for a specific application, with a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations available. The components of a circular connector consist of a plug, receptacle, backshell, and cable clamp. Backshells and cable clamps are an essential part of a circular connector, and each has a specific purpose and working principle.

10-101980-221 Application Field and Working Principle

The 10-101980-221 is a circular connector backshell designed for use in harsh environments. It is made of stainless steel and is IP68 rated. This backshell is compliant with IEC standards and suitable for use with MIL-C-26482 connectors. It is designed to have a sealed connection to help protect the connector against the elements. It also features a collared entry for ease of assembly. The working principle of the 10-101980-221 is to provide additional protection against vibration, moisture, dust, and other elements that may damage the connector. It does this by providing a secure connection between the plug and the receptacle, and by providing a secure connection between the plug and the cables. The 10-101980-221 also helps to protect the connectors from mechanical stress, as well as reduce electromagnetic interference.

Cable Clamp Working Principle

Cable clamps are an essential part of a circular connector system, as they provide additional strain relief and help protect against cable pull-out. The working principle of a cable clamp is to provide a secure connection between the cable and the connector. Cable clamps are designed to be adjustable, so they can be tightened to ensure a secure connection, while also allowing the user to easily adjust the tightness or looseness of the cables. Cable clamps come in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be custom-designed for a specific application.

Circular connectors are an essential component of many electronic systems, and with proper selection of backshells and cable clamps, these connectors can be optimized for specific applications. The 10-101980-221 is a stainless steel backshell designed for harsh environments, while cable clamps provide additional strain relief and help protect against cable pull-out. Understanding the application field and working principle of each of these components is essential for proper selection and configuration of a circular connector.
