28-012-215 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular cable assemblies are necessary components in various systems and play an important role as bridge connectors. In addition, they occupy less space and can be easily installed in systems or equipment. The 28-012-215 cable assembly is an upgrade of the traditional rectangular cable assembly. It has the advantages of high power, good insulation and corrosion resistance, plus fast connection and disconnection. This type of cable assembly is popular in industrial automation, automotive, and Avionics applications.

Product Description

The 28-012-215 cable assembly is composed of two parts – an outer housing and an inner core, both made up of flame retardant materials that are resistant to environmental impact, abrasion, and vibrations. The outer housing provides protection to the inner core from external damage. The inner core is composed of multiple pins which are electrically connected in order to support power supply and signal transmission. Furthermore, the core has been specifically designed to have a good grounding ability so that it can help reduce EMI interference. An important feature of this cable assembly is its size - a 60mm width and a maximum of 22mm depth. Its small size makes it easy to fit in limited spaces.

Working Principle

The 28-012-215 cable assembly works by using variations in cable depths that allow different combinations of core and contact combinations which can accommodate specific power and signal requirements. The depth can be adjusted by turning the screws in the corners of the outer housing. As mentioned earlier, the housing is responsible for protecting the core, but it also serves as an electrical insulator. This ensures that the system remains safe by preventing any shorts or other electrical malfunctions.

The working principle of this cable assembly is simple. The pins of the inner core are connected to the contacts at the bottom of the housing, and the contacts are connected to the power and signal source. The outer housing provides electrical insulation so that the core is protected from external electrical interference. The contacts provide an electrical connection between the pins and the power source. In addition, they provide a secure mechanical connection between the pins and the housing.

Applications

Due to its versatility, the 28-012-215 cable assembly is used in a variety of applications, including industrial automation, automotive, and avionics. In industrial automation, the cable assemblies are used to connect different parts of the system together. The cable assemblies are also used in automotive applications, such as engine ECUs, automated cruise control, and ABS systems. And in avionics, they are used for connecting different on-board systems, such as the instrumentation system, the communications system, and the navigation system.

Conclusion

The 28-012-215 cable assembly is a reliable and versatile cable assembly which can be used in many applications. Its small size and adjustable cable depth make it ideal for use in tight spaces or difficult-to-reach places. Furthermore, it is easy to install and has a good grounding ability for EMI protection. As such, it is widely used in industrial automation, automotive, and avionics applications.
