| Aug 15 at 12:07 | comment | added | morning_pepsiman | @Lundin Indeed! We had that in our first prototype, but our customer did not like the bulky appearance. I must add that the enclosure is quite small, about 2"x3". We also tried using a sealed connector (Deutsh wire-to-PCB), but that too was bulky, and rather expensive. | |
| Aug 15 at 11:41 | comment | added | Lundin | @morning_pepsiman Cable glands would be the standard solution in that case. Any reason why they can't be used? | |
| Aug 15 at 11:23 | comment | added | morning_pepsiman | @Lundin I was thinking the overmolded part could be made of low shore rubber or silicone. Then, with a carefully designed hole in the enclosure, the cable might hold in place and provide a seal (like a grommet, but with the left pad preventing the cord being pulled out). I would like to avoid fasteners if possible. (The cable will be secured at the time of installation, so I am not too much concerned about the pull-out force). | |
