ABSTRACT:
A cable clamp which utilizes a bayonet coupling attachment mechanism when coupled into an electrical connector. Attachment means of the cable clamp may utilize one of the two designs for two airplane general environments, such as the pressurized and unpressurized high vibration areas. Helical ramp grooves formed in the interior of a coupling ring act against bayonet pins mounted on a connector to effect coupling between the two components. A preloaded wavespring washer becomes effective during coupling of a Single Leg cable clamp used in the pressurized area, while a specially tapered spring washers become effective during the coupling procedure to maintain a no-motion condition on a Saddle-type cable clamp used in unpressurized, high vibration areas. Additionally, a plurality of detent pins are automatically shifted into a holding position at the completion of the coupling action, thereby further contributing to the maintenance of the coupled condition between the Saddle-type cable clamp and connector. Also, a grounding spring is centrally positioned on the cable clamp body which when coupled to an electrical connector makes interengageable contact thus providing low impedance and additional mechanical strengthening properties to the cable clamp.
