Cage clamp spring technology (or CCS) is a railway technology used to connect electrical cables and devices. It was developed in the early 1970s and has become a cost-effective and reliable method of connection in railway systems throughout the world. There are a few different versions of CCS, but the most popular are 2.5 and 4. We will be discussing the application field and working principle of CCS2.5/4 in this article.

Application field of CCS2.5/4

CCS 2.5/4 is primarily used in railway technology, where reliable connections are a critical factor. It is commonly used to connect electrical cables and devices, such as motors, switches, and junction boxes, to trackside components. It is also used to connect cables between vehicles, wires between rolling stock, and wiring within components. Furthermore, it can be used in other industrial application fields such as automotive, marine, and aviation.

Working principle of CCS2.5/4

The CCS technology uses clamping springs to ensure a reliable connection. This force enables the CCS2.5/4 to maintain high levels of contact integrity and conductivity. When a CCS2.5/4 connector is connected, the clamping springs are activated to hold the connectors together with a firmly audible “snap” that can be felt when the connectors are correctly engaged. The connector is released using the same spring force, ensuring a robust electrical connection is always maintained.

The CCS2.5/4 follows a 4-point contact principle. This means that the contact surfaces have four contact points with two points of contactproviding electrical current, while the other two points of contact provide equal force to the system, ensuring an even electrical connection. Furthermore,the CCS2.5/4 ensures 360 degrees of contact which further aids in creating an even electrical connection.

Advantages of CCS2.5/4

CCS2.5/4 offers a number of advantages over traditional connection methods. The four-point contact principle ensures that a reliable electrical connection is maintained throughout the system. Furthermore, the CCS2.5/4 is highly resistant to vibration and shock, making it ideal for railway applications. Additionally, the spring force ensures that the connection is firmly audible and tactile, which makes it easier to identify whether a connection is made correctly. The CCS2.5/4 also has a greater resistance to corrosion than traditional connection methods, making it more durable in harsh environments.

Conclusion

CCS2.5/4 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for making electrical connections in a variety of settings. The four-point contact principle ensures a reliable electrical connection is maintained and the clamping springs provide a tactile and audible indication that the connection is correctly made. Furthermore, the CCS2.5/4 is highly resistant to corrosion and vibration, making it ideal for railway applications.
