42-10118

Circular cable assemblies are a type of cable connection used in a variety of applications including industrial automation, power management, and automation in medical and data networks. 42-10118 is a family of multi-conductor cables, standardization of the size, termination, and configuration of the cables with the possibility of additional power or signal connections in this configuration. This cable assembly provides an effective and robust connection between components for a wide range of applications with a variety of power groups and topologies.

In terms of its application field, 42-10118 circular cable assemblies are well-suited for tough, hazardous, or demanding environments. It provides high-performance connections for data transfer and low operating temperature in electrical systems and devices. It also enables better power distribution in remote monitoring systems and to display units. Furthermore, the cables can be used to reduce weight and bulk in wiring harnesses. Therefore, it is widely used in a variety of industrial applications, including automation of highly demanding process controls, medical operations, and robotic control.

The working principles of 42-10118 circular cable assemblies are based on two main features: their interlocking components and their shielding. These assemblies are composed of two sealed connectors and a set of insulated contacts. The first connector contains a number of metal contacts which mate precisely with the protrusions of the second contact. This ensures a strong locking connection and provides electrical contact of high reliability. The contacts are then covered by a layer of insulating material to provide additional protection from dust or corrosion. Finally, each assembly is shielded by a protective cover. This shield allows signals to travel between the plugs without interference from external sources.

In conclusion, 42-10118 circular cable assemblies provide a secure and reliable connection for use in a variety of industrial applications. They allow for a safe and secure transmission of power and signals with their interlocking connector and shielding capabilities. The assemblies are easy to assemble and provide stability in harsh environmental conditions, allowing them to be an effective solution for many industrial and medical applications.
