Bushings provide reliable cable management

Strain relief bushings provide reliable cable management for split housing and slot style applications by easily converting electrical enclosure holes with raw-edges to a smooth insulated finish.

New strain relief bushings provide reliable cable management for split housing and slot style applications. Plastics components and cable accessories supplier Heyco - a division of Anixter - has added to its established range of components with the introduction of its new Lay-In Lockit strain relief bushings. Lay-In Lockit quickly and easily converts electrical enclosure holes with raw-edges to a smooth insulated finish, and provides reliable cable management and protection in a broad range of applications.

The Lay-In Lockit is designed for split housing openings or slot style mounting holes.

Lay-In Lockit accommodates round, flat, individual or bundled cable with diameters up to 15.2mm.

The bushings self-lock instantly onto cable without tools, and independent of housing insertion.

Components can also be preassembled to save time and cost.

Lay-In Lockit is molded from high-impact type 6/6 nylon.

The bushings conform to ASTM standard D-4066-PA111, have a flammability classification of 94V-2 and can withstand temperatures up to 125C.

All Lay-In Lockit strain relief bushings are available from stock in black or white.
