Labour-saving K9 Clamp cable connector
Hylec-APL, the specialist supplier of electronic and electromechanical components in the UK and Europe, has announced the launch of the K9 Clamp connector.
Designed to cut electrical installation times by up to 80% and increase profits for installers, the patented K9 Clamp connector uses insulation displacement technology (IDT) to eliminate the need for stripping, twisting and physically connecting wires. The IP33 rated dustproof and waterproof cage construction, meanwhile, means there’s no need to tape up newly created in-line or spurred connections and no risk of electric shock.
With K9, unstripped cables are placed into each opening of the insulation displacement connector cage, which then snap shut to secure the wiring in place. Precision-sharpened connector blades cut through the insulating sheath, cold welding the wires to the K9’s interior. This creates an airtight connection between the wires.
