Circular Cable Assemblies

A circular cable assembly is a complete cable assembly formed when several wires are pre-connected or group cut with a common connector. It is a popular choice among engineers and designers for a variety of applications and systems. The number of wires and type of connectors used can vary, depending on the application and specific design requirements.

The 43-10366 is a circular cable assembly designed using a PEP 3-way connector, with interchangeable contacts. It has a compact design that allows it to be used in a variety of different applications and configurations. Its flexible design and high flexibility make it a go-to solution for many engineers.

Application Field

The 43-10366 is used mainly in high-speed LAN and internet applications. It is also used in Audio equipment, microphone/headset cables, and other applications where a small assembly size is required. It is commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industries as it is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. It is also used in consumer electronics and robotics.

Working Principle

The 43-10366 works on the principle of inserting unterminated wires into the connector to the appropriate cable length. Each connector has three simple snap-in components – a back shell with a housing, an inner sleeve with contact inserts, and a metal latch. The metal latch is then pushed into the inner sleeve to ensure a secure connection and to enable contact-to-contact continuity.

Each wire is then inserted into the segmented connector parts, with the bare wire insulation stripped off, so that contact pins can create the connection. The contact pins are then pushed through the hole in the housing, and the latches are guided over the housing and clicked into place to provide a secure connection.

Conclusion

The 43-10366 circular cable assembly is a versatile and reliable connection solution for various applications. Its simple installation designs ensure that it can be used in a variety of configurations and applications. It is highly recommended for its flexibility, weight, and size, making it a great choice for DIY projects or complex wiring jobs.
