TCSD-13-S-16.00-01

Rectangular Cable Assemblies are the foundation of high performance electrical connections. The purpose of rectangular cables is to connect electronic components, such as electronic modules, to other elements, such as mounting plates or structural members. Often the connections are internal and hidden, but this isn\'t always the case—outlet boxes in walls and external antennas are two common examples where rectangular cables are visible.

TCSD-13-S-16.00-01 is one of the most popular rectangular cable assemblies. It is designed for use in applications where space is limited and performance is critical, such as aerospace and military applications. This cable assembly consists of a series of cables arranged in a flat configuration and, depending on the application, can carry power, digital signals, and RF signals.

• Military - This cable assembly is designed to meet rigorous military specifications and is used in a wide range of battlefield applications, such as communication devices and navigation systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of TCSD-13-S-16.00-01 cable assembly is fairly simple. The assembly consists of a series of individual cables arranged in a flat configuration. Each of these cables is terminated with a metal or plastic connector, and these connectors are then joined — or mated — using a small piece of metal called a ferrule. The ferrule is crimped into place and then soldered to ensure a secure connection.

The flat layout of the cable assembly allows for flexibility and simplicity in installation. It also minimizes the amount of space required to make the connection, which is highly valuable in complex or crowded installations.

In addition, the flat configuration also makes it easier to group and organize cables and connectors. This can significantly reduce installation times and minimize the potential for errors.

Finally, the ferrule provides a secure connection between the cables and the connector. This helps to ensure that the connection is strong and reliable, and that the cables maintain their integrity while in use.

Overall, TCSD-13-S-16.00-01 is an extremely versatile and useful cable assembly. It is designed to provide reliable and efficient connections in a wide range of demanding applications, and is an essential component in modern electronic systems.
