New strain relief bushings accommodate round wires and cables
Heyco Ltd, UK, a supplier of plastic components and cable accessories, has recently introduced a new generation of round double D (RDD) Lockit™ self-locking strain-relief bushings, which provides lasting strain relief against twisting and pulling for round wires and cables up to 15.24mm Ø. in diameter, RDD Lockit™ is available in eight UL-designations categories and suitable for use in many different electrical wire and cable applications.
New additions to the range are RDD101A, RDD401 and RDD501, for cables ranging from 3.18 to 15.24mm Ø. RDD Lockit has a propriety five-step locking mechanism that accommodates a range of chassis thicknesses up to 3.18mm. This increase means that eight UL-designation categories and eight different cable types can now be covered. Double flat sides on the RDD Lockit protect current-carrying wires from twisting and other natural or inadvertent stresses that cause electrical failure. It prevents the cable from turning in standard round or double-D holes in electrical cabinets, panels and enclosures. RDD Lockit gives constant strain-relief against twisting, pulling, cord pulsing or gravity in large and small appliances, power tools, consumer and industrial electronics, motor housings, lighting fixtures or any other electrical assembly prone to the stresses of pull, push or twist. RDD Lockit strain-relief bushings are moulded in high-impact type 6/6 nylon at Heyco's facilities in New Jersey, USA. Bushings conform to ASTM standard D-4066-PA111 and have a flammability classification of UL94V-2. They can withstand temperatures up to 105°C and are listed and CSA-certified.
