TE Connectivity announces new four- and eight-position strain relief covers for the Micro MATE-N-LOK Connector System. The new strain relief covers snap on and provide cable assembly retention capability that meets IEC 60598-1 cable retention requirements.
With a 60 N cable retention, UL94V flammability rating and a -20 to +85 C temperature rating, the strain relief covers are ideal for use in a broad range of applications, including lighting, security systems, gaming, vending, garage door openers, factory automation, household appliances and data storage equipment.
The two-piece strain relief covers are applied without screws or tools to provide an aesthetically functional strain relief for jacketed cable assemblies. As an additional feature, the four- and eight-position strain relief covers provide latch protection that prevents inadvertent unmating of the connectors and rounded corners that contribute to a snag-resistant cable assembly.
