Rectangular Cable Assemblies

TCSD-08-D-39.50-01-N is a type of rectangular cable assembly, meaning that it uses rectangular-shaped wire or cable. This type of cable is commonly used in the manufacture of connectors and other wiring and hardware devices, as well as in the creation of electrical restraints and supports.

Application Field

Rectangular cable assemblies are commonly used in a variety of applications, including the following:

• Automotive wiring and electronic components
• Domestic appliances
• Electrical motors and motorsports
• Power distribution and equipment
• Radio communication systems
• Robots and automation
• Telecommunications
• Video and audio equipment

Rectangular cable assemblies can be used in any application which requires the reliable transmission of electric signals. These can range from consumer electronics, such as the wiring for a home entertainment system, to industrial processes, such as the control of a robot or the operation of an automated manufacturing process.

Working Principle

When using a rectangular cable assembly, the cables are connected to a connector assembly which is then connected to the components being wired. The connectors can be purchased as assemblies or made from individual components.The connectors within the assembly typically feature two part housings, with the wires of the assembly connected between them. These housings are typically rated according to their capacity to absorb power, with some able to handle ratings of up to 1,200 volts.The cable assembly also features an insulator, typically silicone rubber or similar, which acts as a barrier between the length of the cable assembly and the environment in which it is used. This insulator helps to prevent electrical shocks and dissipates heat. This is necessary to ensure that the assembly is able to maintain the quality of its transmission over extended periods of time.
