RM12WBP-CP(5)(71)

Circular connectors – and specifically their design feature of Backshell and Cable Clamps – have been used in a variety of applications in recent years. The RM12WBP-CP(5)(71) stands out in this family for a number of reasons, and it is worthy of exploration.

The RM12WBP-CP(5)(71) is a circular connector designed to withstand the tough conditions of marine environments. It is made of fully marine-grade materials and offers Unionsol-approved salt spray and vibration performance. It features an IP67 rated brass shell, gold-plated contacts, and 18 AWG stranded power wire.

The backshell of the connector is designed to provide a secure and robust fit over the wire and housing. It offers a 360° sealing feature which helps form a watertight seal by compressing the gasket into the mating part. This results in enhanced protection against corrosion and water ingress. The backshell also offers high strain relief and strain relief for the cables, allowing the connector to be subjected to more rigorous environments and conditions. The cable clamps to the backshell are also designed to protect the cables from any abrasion, wear, fatigue, or corrosion.

The RM12WBP-CP(5)(71) is also rated for extreme temperatures, ranging from -22°F to 185°F. This makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial and military uses. It is ideal for applications in which exposure to harsh environments and conditions is a concern, such as deep sea or off-shore operations.

In terms of working principle, the RM12WBP-CP(5)(71) operates in a similar way to other circular connectors. The contacts inside the connector are made of brass and plated with a protective gold coating. The contacts are designed to make a good electrical connection when mated, with a low resistance path that will not generate excessive heat. To ensure the contacts are securely connected, each contact is fitted with a spring-loaded latch. When the connector is mated, the two contacts are brought together and the latch is engaged, creating a secure and reliable connection between the two. The cable clamp on the backshell further provides strain relief and enhanced protection for the cables.

The RM12WBP-CP(5)(71) is a great choice for applications that require reliable performance in tough environments. Its protective backshell and cable clamp offer excellent sealing and strain relief, while its gold-plated contacts provide a secure and low-resistance connection. Its rugged design and high-temperature rating make it well-suited for a variety of applications in industrial and military settings.
