New Range Of External Connector Interfaces Launched By Harnessflex

Specialist flexible conduit systems manufacturer Harnessflex launches a new range of external connector interfaces, designed to offer higher cable protection integrity in wiring harnesses.

Designed for use with the Deutsch DT series, there are 22 interfaces affording single junction, straight and 90º elbow fittings, which provide high integrity connections between the connectors and Harnessflex conduit systems.

The fittings are designed to snap over slit or unslit flexible conduits, including NC, CTPA and deep section PP essentially providing protection for the vehicle wiring harness right up to the connector. Offering high pull-off strength, the conduit corrugations fit firmly into interface junctions.

Of a compact design both straight and elbow versions are ideal for use where space is limited. When using the 90º elbow versions they facilitate the conduit to swivel around the connector housing. This is sufficient to alleviate the problem of overflexing, due to movement or vibration, experienced with one-piece interfaces.

During harness fabrication an integral overcentre facility on the fitting securely holds the conduit in place aiding assembly.

In operation the external connector interface, as part of the specialist conduit system, deflects water from connectors during high pressure cleaning ensuring integrity of the vehicle wiring, connectors and hence the electric system, so important to vehicle reliability.

Combining a full range of fittings and connectors the Harnessflex range offers full electrical system integrity protecting any vulnerable part of the electrical harness affording stability and support for the system. Its use ensures that there are no vulnerable connectors exposed to the elements, which could so easily cause malfunction and failure of the generator, compromising the operation of the vehicle.

Copies of a new, informative Harnessflex datasheet on external connector interfaces for the Deutsch - DT series is available direct from Harnessflex.
