TX18AB00-2805

Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps, commonly referred to as TX18AB00-2805 are used for an array of electrical and electromechanical connections. From grounding purposes to preventing wear and tear, these connectors provide an essential function in many different industrial environments.

The application field for the TX18AB00-2805 range runs from the transmission of audio and video signals in the home entertainment industry to industrial robotics and machining applications. Its use in combination with other components helps to achieve high quality and reliable connections in these and other applications.

The connector has a 3-pin configuration with an 8-pin female and male plug set. The base material is usually plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). It is available in several traditional black colour variants, and has a greater resistance to oils as well as other hazardous chemicals. This makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.

One of the fundamental principles of the circular connector is that it comes with a shielding function. The shielding is usually achieved by the use of an integrated metal shield in the connector’s body. This metal shield helps to reduce interference and ensure the integrity of the signal being transmitted.

The TX18AB00-2805 is usually paired with either a cable clamp or a backshell. A cable clamp is designed to hold and protect cables while a backshell is responsible for isolating the electrical connections from the outside of the connector.

A backshell, usually made from metal, is designed to fit over the circular connector and provide an electrical and mechanical connection. It is an essential component for high reliability and durability in industrial applications. The backshell helps to protect the attached components from degrading due to exposure to environmental factors such as moisture, temperature, chemicals, and dust. It also helps to protect the electrical contacts from physical damage due to bending or vibration.

The use of the TX18AB00-2805 in combination with a cable clamp or a backshell allows electrical signals to be transmitted securely and with reliability. It is used in various applications, including setting up electrical equipment, and in the production of audio and video signals. The range is designed to be robust, durable, and simple to install.
