The correct
application of torque is essential to most connector applications
where Jam Nut receptacle connectors are used. The sealing
components (usually an "O" ring) must be compressed,
but not to the point of damage. Another consideration
when tightening Jam Nuts is the thread strength. This
is extremely important in the various types of aluminum and
composite connectors.
JAM
NUT SOCKETS
DMC
Jam Nut Socket tools have been developed specially for the
installation of Jam Nut receptacle connectors. They
are available in a versatile composite construction which
is an excellent choice for OEM assembly areas due to their
light weight, and the non marking surfaces, a durable machined
aluminum series and the traditional "General Purpose"
formed steel socket for non-torque specific applications.
COMPOSITE
JAM NUT SOCKETS
A unique
process was developed to mold this composite material which
contains a higher percentage of fiber glass than is customarily
used in conventional molding technology. this makes
them as light and a s strong as possible.
The material
will not scratch plating, or damage the finish on cabinets,
panels or bulkheads when properly used.
ALUMINUM
JAM NUT SOCKETS
When a
metal socket is required, the anodized aluminum series jam
nut sockets are a good choice. They are machined to
the same configuration as the composite jam nut sockets with
the square hold drive for torquing.
STEEL
JAM NUT SOCKETS
Also available
are formed Steel Jam Nut sockets. These are plated for
corrosion resistance, and have drive holes to accommodate
a metal rod, or similar, drive tool.
We also
recommend that you consider DMC
Safe-T-Cable™ to secure
Jam Nut receptacles where lock wire holes are provided.
