Rectangular Cable Assemblies

A rectangular cable assembly, such as the C8PPG-1418M, is a type of electrical connector designed to provide power for a range of applications, including domestic and commercial equipment, and industrial machinery. It is made up of a combination of insulated electrical cables, strain relief components, and connectors. The C8PPG-1418M connector is a 26 AWG wire gauge connector, and is UL and CSA listed.

Working Principle

The purpose of a rectangular cable assembly is to provide a reliable method for carrying power between two devices. The assembly operates in the following way:

• A flexible insulated cable, often made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or similar, runs between two devices.
• At each end of the cable, a strain relief component is attached to protect it from being pulled on too tightly.
• A connector is inserted and secured into the strain relief components at either end of the cable.
• The connection is conducted through several small pins in the connector.
• All exposed terminals are then soldered together.
• The contacts on the connector and strain relief are connected with each other, and the pins are joined together using solder.
• Finally, the part of the strain relief which is inserted into the connector is tightened up by a locking device (usually a hex key).

The C8PPG-1418M connector is capable of carrying up to 16 amps of current. This makes it suitable for a variety of applications, including domestic and commercial equipment, and industrial machinery.

Application Fields

The C8PPG-1418M connector is widely used in a range of industries including: audio/visual, automotive, domestic and industrial, lighting, medical, and telecommunications. Examples of applications include:

• Domestic equipment – connecting fluorescent lights, dishwashers, ovens, and other appliances.
• Commercial equipment – connecting MRI and X-ray machines, telecommunications and security systems, and electroplating equipment.
• Industrial machinery – connecting motor control systems, machine tools, and conveyor systems.
• Audio/visual – connecting television sets, amplifiers, and audio equipment.

The C8PPG-1418M connector is also suitable for use in low voltage applications, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. It is UL listed, so you can be sure of the quality and safety of your connection.

Conclusion

The C8PPG-1418M rectangular cable assembly provides a reliable method for carrying power between two devices. It is widely used in a range of industries and applications, and is UL and CSA listed for quality and safety. With a 16 amp capacity, the C8PPG-1418M connector is suitable for a variety of commercial and domestic applications.
