JL04-20EBL-R

Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps, are just a few pieces of an efficient connection system. One of the most popular cable termination devices amongst circular connectors, and specifically designed for use in military, aircraft and other harsh environments is the JL04-20EBL-R. This cable clamp is an innovative part of the military specification circular connector for applications requiring a high degree of reliability.

The JL04-20EBL-R Features

The JL04-20EBL-R is a removable cable clamp designed to provide air-tight, water-proof sealing for one or more shield terminals. The clamp features a unique sealing design which prevents the entry of moisture, dust, and dirt. This ensures a highly reliable connection. It also includes a two-piece backshell that can be easily installed and removed without special tools. Furthermore, the cable clamp is designed to securely and reliably hold the shield terminal. This reduces the risk of vibration or shock, which may negatively impact the connection.

Application Areas

The JL04-20EBL-R is widely used in a variety of fields, from defense (such as military ground vehicles and aircraft) to industrial automation, and communication systems. It is also found in the medical and energy industries. In these fields, high reliability and water-tight seals are essential.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the JL04-20EBL-R is quite simple. The backshell is designed to fit the circular connector and securely hold the shield terminal. The backshell has two pieces, the body and the cage. The body is attached to the connector housing, while the cage is the removable part. This allows for easy assembly and disassembly without specialized tools. The clamp has a unique sealing design which prevents the entry of moisture, dust, and dirt. Then, the two pieces of the backshell are mated together and fastened with a threaded cylinder and a screwdriver insert. This ensures a highly reliable seal. The integrated clamp is also designed to securely hold the shield terminal, preventing it from being disconnected or moved.

Conclusion

The JL04-20EBL-R is a great example of how Circular Connectors – Backshells and Cable Clamps can be used in highly technical applications. Its unique sealing design ensures water, dust and dirt proof terminations, while its integrated clamp securely holds the shield terminal in place. This ensures reliable connections, even in the most demanding of environments.
