2M380MS137M0703-8

The 2M380MS137M0703-8 is a type of circular connectors – backshells and cable clamps, which is typically used in many applications such as industrial automation, power supplies, instrumentation, battery charging, test and measurement, robotics, and broadcast industries. It is also known as strain relief and can be used to protect the cable from external forces, especially when the cable may be subject to vibration and flexation.

This circular connector features a crimp- and solder-style electrical connection and comes in two variations, each designed for use in a range of applications. The first variation of this connector is a split-shell design, featuring a non-locking latch that allows for easy engagement and disengagement of other components. The second variation is a pluggable backshell, which has a locking mechanism that requires a tool for engagement and disengagement with other components. Both variations of the 2M380MS137M0703-8 are available in eight- and 10-pin configurations.

The main difference between the two versions is the way the contacts are made. The split-shell version allows for easy installation and removal by simply squeezing the latch. This makes it ideal for applications that require quick connect/disconnect, as well as those that require more permanent installations. On the other hand, the pluggable backshell utilizes a tool for installation (and removal, if desired), making it great for users who want secure and reliable connections at all times.

The working principle of each variation begins with the contact coming in contact with the gold-plated contact points on the cable and then the two parts being joined by either crimping or soldering. When the connection is made, the contacts ensure thorough tightness, insulation, and protection against external influences. The backshell provides further protection to the connection by providing strain relief and preventing the contacts from coming in contact with each other.

The 2M380MS137M0703-8 is designed for secure and reliable performance in a variety of industrial applications, and is available in both eight- and 10-pin configurations. It is also relatively cost-effective due to its easy installation and removal. As such, this connector is an ideal choice for users looking for an economical and reliable solution for their industrial applications.
