Grommets

Grommets can eliminate the need for standard or special connectors.

Where a cable has to terminate inside a unit, a grommet can eliminate the requirement of fixing a 2 part connector system at the wall or interface. See also Feedthroughs.

• A well designed grommet can increase the life of a flexing cable
• A wide range of materials offers compatibility with the application and its parameters
• A grommet can be an integral part of the hood or a separate piece part
• Siamese twin grommets can provide different flexing characteristics for both power and signal cables.
• Can be used in conjunction with the ‘header’ principle to land the cable on the pcb.
