STX40AB00-2018

Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps

The STX40AB00-2018 is a state-of-the-art circular connector specifically designed for use in a variety of applications. This connector is typically used in fields such as aerospace, automotive, audio, industrial, and telecommunications, due to its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions and vibration. Its construction of lightweight aluminum and brass, coated with a durable corrosion-resistant finish, enables it to stand up even in harsh environments. Other features include a resilient EMI shield, low contact resistance, and a robust, reliable female threaded coupling.

The STX40AB00-2018 utilizes a backshell cable clamp system to secure the attached cable. The backshell cable clamps are designed to provide strain relief for the wires, protect the wires from damage, and provide a reliable electrical connection. The clamps attach firmly to the connector and feature a two-piece captive terminal to ensure the correct fit. The two-piece system also allows easier wiring and installation of the clamps at the desired locations. Additionally, the clamps are constructed of plastic or metal with an electroplated finish, providing a superior seal against the elements.

The STX40AB00-2018 features a working principle known as “non-contact locking”. This locking principle involves a self-locking mechanism in the connector which engages the cable and the connector’s threads simultaneously. When the connector is threaded onto the cable, the self-locking mechanism automatically locks the two components together—without contact. This process ensures the reliable and secure connection between the cable and the connector.

Overall, the STX40AB00-2018 provides superior performance and reliability in a variety of arduous applications, and is an excellent choice for aerospace, automotive, audio, industrial, and telecommunications applications. Designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and vibration, with a robust, reliable female threaded coupling and a non-contact locking principle, the STX40AB00-2018 is an ideal connector for extreme environments.
