14-036-214

Rectangular Cable Assemblies are used in a variety of applications. In particular, 14-036-214 assemblies are commonly used in the automotive, industrial, and military fields. These assemblies, also known as DB power cords, are used to provide power from one system or device to another in a structured way. As such, they are considered ideal for providing flexibility, dependability, and protection in tight power and control systems.

Application Fields and Uses

14-036-214 assemblies are used in a wide range of commercial, industrial, and military applications. These assemblies have been used by the automotive industry for many years now and are considered to be the most cost-efficient, reliable, and safe way to power vehicles. They are typically used to provide a steady current of power to electrical components such as alternators, power steering motors, and other charge carrying devices. Additionally, they can provide clean power to onboard electronics and electronic circuits, while the dual-connector arrangement makes them perfect for duplicate connections.

Furthermore, these assemblies are also used in military applications where reliable power and flexibility are important. The combination of their light weight and durability makes them ideal for use in electronic warfare and missile guidance systems, as these systems are typically placed in harsh and hazardous conditions. These cords are also used in the industrial sector in various automation and driving systems in order to provide consistent and reliable power.

Working Principle

The 14-036-214 assemblies consist of a plug, a socket, and a power cord, all of which are constructed from high-grade materials. The two connectors are insulated to protect against short circuits, while the power cord is designed to help reduce the amount of interference or echo in the power system. Additionally, the plug and socket are designed to fit in tight spaces and provide excellent connectivity between them.

Most 14-036-214 assemblies use an ultra-flexible cable, which allows it to bend and twist in tight spaces without impairing the connection or wire routing. The cable’s flexibility also helps prevent kinking, allowing it to survive jamming and stresses found in many industrial, military, and automotive applications. The cable is typically reinforced with a braided shield, which helps provide excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and other contaminants.

The assembly’s two connectors are designed to connect either directly, or by an adapter. The plug is usually inserted into its mating socket to make the power connection. The mating parts are held together by an integrally molded strain relief, which helps prevent bending and twisting, while providing shock and vibration protection. This ensures that the assembly will stay firmly in place during regular use.
