Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps

TX40AB00-1216H backshells and cable clamps are one type of circular connectors. They provide environmental protection, strain relief, and spacing at the cable to connector interface. Made of thermoplastic or thermoplastic elastomer, they offer the necessary protection against dust, fluid, dirt, and contamination, as well as strain relief of the cable itself along the exit axis. Backshells and cable clamps come in both screw-on and snap-(spring)-lock models. They are also typically used with single-ended cables, like coaxial, multiconductor, or ribbon cable. The two components use either a single piece design or separate pieces for the connector and wire connection points.

Application Field

TX40AB00-1216H backshells and cable clamps are commonly used in industrial and commercial fields. Backshells are often used in electronics, automation, robotics, aerospace, electrical engineering, communication networks, automotive industries, and many other applications. As for cable clamps, their applicability typically ranges from communication and datacom assemblies to automation systems. They are great for applications requiring durability, flexibility, and abrasion resistance.

Working Principle

The working principle of TX40AB00-1216H backshells and cable clamps is fairly simple. When the connector is secured to the cable, the locking teeth of the backshell or cable clamp grip the cable’s outer sheath. This helps to ensure the cable is securely held in position. The backshell or cable clamp can be tightened in place using a screw or by using a special securing tool. When the connector is in its locked position, it will prevent the cable from slipping out of the connector. The backshell or cable clamp will also provide strain relief for the cable, ensuring that the cable is not damaged or destroyed by the motion of the connector.

TX40AB00-1216H backshells and cable clamps are designed to securely hold the connector in place, providing strain relief as well as environmental protection. They are highly durable, allowing them to withstand any amount of strain or movement over time. They are also designed to be flexible, allowing them to be used in a variety of different applications. This makes them a great choice for a wide range of applications, from industrial and commercial to communication and datacom assemblies.
