10 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave Cables and Assemblies GENERAL ASSEMBLY INFORMATION General Assembly Information In applications where MULTIFLEX and SUCOFORM with (PE or FEP jackets) are utilised, the SUCOMELT anti-buckling bushings offer you a convincing solution. By means of an injection moulding process, the anti-buckling protection is injection moulded onto the cable behind the connector. This offers you the following benefits. Wide assembly • temperature range (–40 °C ... +125 °C) • Small dimensions (less than 17 mm long) • Excellent characteristics under mechanical and thermal stresses • Protects the cable entry against water and moisture • Attractive design and appearance An extensive test programme has demonstrated that the SUCOMELT anti-buckling bushings meet the requirements. The following tests were performed on SUCOFORM assemblies. Test Test specification Parameters Result Stress crack resistance MIL-C-17 +80 °C, 96 h passed Cold bend test MIL-C-17 –20 °C, 4h passed Bend test IEC 966-1 ±90°, 50 bends passed Water tightness IEC 529 - IP64 acc. requirements passed If SUCOMELT is not available, or the assemblies are to be made in the field then HUBER+SUHNER recommend hot melt adhesive lined heatshrink as anti buckling strain relief.
