Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps

3018-10-561120 is a type of circular connector with a backshell and cable clamp that is designed to meet the EMI/RFI specifications of MIL-C-38999. It is widely used in military as well as industrial applications, making it a reliable and cost-effective component. The backshell provides a seal to protect the contacts from environmental elements such as dust and moisture. The cable clamp consists of two components which are connected together, one on the internal side and the other on the external side.

The backshell is connected to the connector using a screw-and-nut crimp. It is designed to ensure the connector does not enter the housing until the screw is firmly engaged. This ensures the connector is securely in place and minimizes the risk of accidental connection or detachment from the connector. The backshell also provides the ability to re-use the connector if it becomes damp or contaminated. This design also helps to reduce the need for patching or repair work on the connector in the future.

The cable clamp consists of two pieces, an inner and outer portion. The inner piece is designed to fit the outer surface of the housing and the outer portion will fit to the contact interface. The two pieces are then fastened together with a screw-and-nut system. This helps to ensure the contact interface will remain in place even if exposed to hazardous conditions. The cable clamp also helps to reduce the risk of bending or breaking the cable.

The 3018-10-561120 connectors are designed for both indoor and outdoor use and are also resistant to vibration and shock. The combination of the backshell and cable clamp makes them ideal for applications that require a high level of reliability and durability. The connector is also resistant to extreme temperatures, which means it can be used in various environments with no risk of damage or degradation.

The 3018-10-561120 is a versatile and reliable connector and is designed to provide dependable performance for military and industrial applications. It is available in a variety of sizes and finishes to meet the needs of any application. The combination of the backshell and cable clamp helps to provide reliable protection against EMI/RFI and ensures the connector will remain secure in the housing.
