Product Name
- Leister 100.808 - STRAIN RELIEF CLAMP
Brief Description
- The Leister 100.808 Strain Relief Clamp is a replacement accessory designed to protect electrical cables and connections from mechanical stress, tension, and pulling forces. It ensures the longevity and reliability of power cords by securing them at the point of entry into equipment or enclosures, preventing damage to the cable jacket and internal wiring. This specific clamp is suitable for use with Leister hot air tools, particularly the Hot Jet S model.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Protecting electric range and dryer cords.- Securing cable connections at coupler/enclosure interfaces on heavy machinery like electric shovels, drills, LHDs, and jumbos.- Reinforcing cord connections in medical instruments and imaging equipment.- Preventing damage to power cords in conventional appliances.- Supporting cables in vertical shaft and pole applications.- General cable management in various electrical and mechanical connectors to absorb push, pull, and twisting forces.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/Building Services (heavy construction, general construction)- Electrical Services or Products (for cable protection and management)- Energy (utility applications, renewable energy)- Engineering Services (mechanical engineering)- General Manufacturing (for cord-sets, appliances, and equipment)- Industrial Supply (as a component for various applications)- LED/Electronics (for electronic equipment and cable protection)- Marine (shipbuilding)- Medical Device/Prosthetics (medical instruments, imaging equipment)- Metal Fabrication (where metal enclosures or components are used)- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services (mining applications with heavy machinery)- Plastic Fabrication (as an accessory for Leister plastic welding tools)- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle (transportation, specialty vehicles, heavy equipment)
Special and Unique Features
- Designed to eliminate strain on cable connections, preventing damage from pulling or stretching.- Enhances safety and security of electrical connections.- Robust design built to withstand demanding conditions and constant movement.- User-friendly design for straightforward installation, streamlining cable management.- Contributes to maintaining cable integrity and overall system performance.
Key Properties
- Mechanical device for cable protection.- Prevents cable jacket damage.- Withstands tough use.- Provides secure grip on cables.- Can be made from materials like heavy galvanized steel or polyurethane (for similar products).
Surface Compatibility
- Primarily designed to clamp onto electrical cables and cords.- Compatible with various round- and flat parallel power cords.- Used at the interface of couplers/enclosures, implying compatibility with various enclosure materials (metal, plastic).
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other types of strain relief solutions such as C-profiles, CFX clamps, chainfix tiewrap plates, honeycomb strain relief, and strain relief separators.- Cable glands (also known as cord grips) which provide both strain relief and protection from enclosure edges.- Compression strain relief bushings and grommets.- Modular stackable cable clamps.
Comparison Note
- Metal strain relief clamps, like some described, generally offer greater strength, safety, and security compared to plastic types, especially in high voltage or critical applications.- Integrated strain relief components within connectors offer a compact solution, while separate clamps provide flexibility for various cable diameters and installation scenarios.
