TXR41AC90-2418AI

Circular connectors, such as the TXR41AC90-2418AI, are a key part of modern electronic systems. Used in a variety of industrial, military and aerospace applications, circular connectors provide the necessary signal and power to perform many tasks. As you might imagine, the ability to patch together a variety of systems quickly and easily has made circular connectors indispensable for thousands of applications.

Backshells and Cable Clamps

The TXR41AC90-2418AI is a multi-pin connector that features a screw-on backshell and cable clamp for secure connections. The backshell is a plastic guard designed to protect the connector’s pins and wires from damage while providing strain relief along the cable. The backshell is also important in keeping out moisture, dust and other objects that can foul the connector. It is typically made from a hard plastic such as polypropylene or nylon and snaps or screws onto the connector.

The cable clamp provides a secure connection to the backshell to hold the cable in place. It can be made from a variety of materials according to the application, ranging from plastic to rubber and metal. The clamp is often secured to the backshell with screws, though it can also be clamped in place.

Application Field and Working Principle

The TXR41AC90-2418AI is an industrial grade circular connector designed for use in harsh environments. It is RoHS-compliant and features an operating temperature range of -55 to +105°C. This type of connector is particularly well-suited for applications that require high vibration or shock protection. It is also commonly used in a variety of industrial and military applications, including robotic, remote control, electrical grid systems, wind turbine control, transmission line systems and aerospace systems.

The TXR41AC90-2418AI uses a locking thread system to ensure a secure connection. The shell is tightened onto the connector body using a wrench or other tool, compressing the internal O-ring and creating a tight water- and dust-proof seal. The backshell and cable clamp are then secured in place, protecting the connector from damage and environmental contamination.
