20-012-114 application field and working principle

Rectangular cables with threads (20-012-114) are thin, robust cables used in a variety of applications, including telecommunications, automation, military and machine vision. The joint between two connector ends must maintain electrical contact while supporting vibration, temperature cycling, strain relief, and other environmental conditions.

The thread-locking mechanism of these cables is designed to provide a permanent attachment. The locking mechanism locks the two components together via a combination of mechanical force, lubrication, and adhesion. This ensures the joint remains sealed and maintains electrical integrity.

In a typical application, two identical cable assemblies are connected together, each with its own connector and cable. The cable is slotted into the first connector, and a screw-type locking collar secures the cable within the connector. This collar also helps keep the cable free from abrasion and tension. The second cable assembly is connected in a similar manner to the first one.

Once the two cable assemblies are connected, they form an electrically-active circuit. The electrical characteristics of the circuit are determined by the metal conductor used, the type of cable insulation, and the connector arrangement. Typically, these cables are stranded, with stranded pairs of conductors insulated with a special dielectric material.

The threaded lock nut on the connector ensures that all parts remain connected, providing mechanical as well as electrical stability. The nut tightly compresses the two connectors together and the cable insulation keeps the cables securely in place. The nut also helps prevent interference from external electrical signals.

In addition to providing a secure connection between two components, 20-012-114 cables are also reliable and durable. The cable is shielded and resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for a variety of applications and environments.

The 20-012-114 cables are a popular choice for many applications due to their strength, durability, and flexibility. They are used in a variety of applications, including telecom, computer networking, industrial automation, and aerospace. They are particularly well-suited for applications where tight and close spacing is required.

In conclusion, 20-012-114 cables are an excellent choice for a variety of applications. They provide a reliable connection between two components while being flexible enough to accommodate changing environmental conditions. They are also relatively inexpensive, making them an attractive choice for many applications.
