The 3341-30 Bulk Application Field and Working Principle is a type of accessory for the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors. It is used to hold the D-Sub backshell together and is typically attached to the strain-relief fitting. It consists of a jackscrew, a nut, and washer.
The jackscrew is a metal screw that is used to couple and hold the backshell of the connector together. It is primarily responsible for the overall assembly of the connector and restraining strain in the cable-connector joint. It consists of two threads, an internal male thread and an external female thread, which can correspond to the threads of either the cable jacket or the connector. The threads of the jackscrew are usually coated with phosphate or zinc plating to help prevent corrosion.
The nut is a metal nut that is used to couple the jackscrew to the strain-relief fitting or for mounting the backshell to the connector. These nuts are usually made of steel or brass. The shape of the nut may vary depending on the manufacturer, and some manufacturers may offer hexagonal or other types of nuts. The nut is used to secure the strain-relief fitting to the connector body and helps provide strain-relief for the cable.
The washer is a thin, flat piece of metal used to fill any gaps between the nut and the strain-relief fitting on the connector body. The washer helps to prevent the nut from digging into the cable jacket and provides an extra layer of strain-relief for the cable. This helps to ensure that the connection is secure and that the cable is not damaged during assembly or disassembly of the connector.
When assembling the 3341-30, the jackscrew is first inserted into the strain-relief fitting and then the nut is threaded onto the internal male thread. Finally, the washer is installed on the nut. The nut should then be tightened with a torque wrench to ensure a secure connection. Once the nut is tight, the strain-relief fitting should be locked in place with the backshell.
The 3341-30 Bulk Application Field and Working Principle is an effective and reliable accessory for D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors. It ensures that the cable and connector are securely held together and provides an extra layer of strain-relief for the cable. This helps to ensure that the connection is reliable and that the cable is not damaged during assembly or disassembly of the connector.
