The RDD Lockit from Heyco is a novel strain relief bushing that can be pre-assembled onto the cable and fits a standard double D punched hole.
RDD (round double D) Lockits, moulded in nylon 66, fit into easily-punched standard double D holes - round holes with two flat sides which ensure that the bushing remains securely in position eliminating the chance of stress to the wires by twisting.
The bushing itself is designed to absorb all forces of push, pull and twist to protect the electrical components to which its wires are attached.
Easily positioned with fingertip pressure, the RDD Lockit requires no hand tool for chassis insertion so greatly reduces the risk of repetitive strain injury.
If preferred, automated application equipment can be used to speed up assembly and reduce costs.
Lockits can also be pre-attached onto the wire, as they do not depend on chassis insertion to remain in place.
Five chassis locking steps ensure that the RDD Lockit fits snugly into chassis thicknesses up to 4.0mm.
The RDD Lockit is UL listed, far exceeding UL's 35lb pull-out test, and carries a UL94V2 flame rating.
Standard colours are black and white with other colours possible, depending on quantity.
