Cables and Connectors

Product catalog summary

Overview: IMI Sensors, a division of PCB Piezotronics, manufactures cable assemblies for sensors, signal conditioners, and data acquisition systems used in predictive maintenance, process monitoring, and power generation. This document outlines specifications and guidelines for constructing cable assembly model numbers, including cable types, sensor mating connectors, and terminating connectors.

Constructing a Cable Assembly Model Number:

Determine measurement units: feet or meters.
Select cable type (pages 6-29).
Choose sensor mating connector (pages 30-47).
Determine cable length.
Select terminating connector (pages 30-47).

Cable Reference Table: This table lists cable models with details such as style, conductor number, jacket color/material, diameter, temperature range, and features. For example, Model 003 is a coaxial cable with a blue TFE jacket, suitable for temperatures from -320°F to +500°F, featuring low noise.

Connector Reference Table: Provides information on connector models, styles, number of pins/sockets, coupling methods, strain relief, temperature ranges, and field-installability. For instance, the AB model is a BNC connector with a bayonet coupling method, suitable for temperatures from -85°F to +329°F.

Specific Cable Models:

Model 003: Low noise coaxial cable with a blue PTFE jacket, ideal for cooler areas and preventing signal degradation.
Model 013: Two-conductor hardline cable with a stainless steel jacket, suitable for extreme temperatures and radiation-hardened environments.
Model 023: Coaxial hardline cable with a stainless steel jacket, designed for high-temperature and radiation-hardened applications.
Model 042: Two-conductor cable with a black polyurethane jacket, featuring a small diameter for easy installation.
Model 043: Four-conductor armored cable with a black polyurethane jacket, providing protection against cuts and crushes.
Model 044: Coiled two-conductor cable with a black polyurethane jacket, maintaining coil shape under heavy use.
Model 045: Low-noise two-conductor cable with a red PFA jacket, designed for differential charge model sensor chains.
Model 046: 32-conductor cable with a black PVC jacket, used for consolidating multiple cables into one manageable unit.

Key Specifications: Each cable model includes specifications such as conductor number, cable style, environmental temperature range, electrical capacitance, physical dimensions, and materials used for jackets, conductors, and shields.

Cable Specifications:

Model 508: A two-conductor cable with a black polyurethane jacket, designed for economical use. It features a smooth jacket for easy installation and includes a dedicated drain wire attached to the shield.
Performance: The cable has two conductors and a drain wire, with a straight, multi-conductor, twisted shielded pair style.
Environmental: Operates within a temperature range of -58 to +250 °F (-50 to +121 °C).
Electrical: Capacitance is 19 pF/ft (64 pF/m).
Physical: The cable diameter is 0.19 in (4.83 mm), with a polyurethane jacket and stranded tin-plated copper conductors.

Connector Specifications:

BNC Connectors: Available in jack and plug models, featuring a bayonet coupling method and nickel-coated brass material. They operate within -85 to +329 °F (-65 to +165 °C).
Composite Connectors: Designed for use with single-axis accelerometers and transmitters, featuring a push-on coupling method and silicone material. They operate within -67 to +325 °F (-55 to +163 °C).
Aluminum Connectors: Various models for different applications, including high-temperature and environmental boots, with threaded coupling methods and zinc-coated aluminum material.
High-Temperature Connectors: Designed for extreme conditions, with temperature ranges up to +900 °F (+482 °C) and materials like nickel alloy and stainless steel.

General Observations:

The document provides detailed specifications for cables and connectors, focusing on performance, environmental conditions, and physical characteristics.
Each connector model is tailored for specific applications, such as use with accelerometers, data collectors, or high-temperature sensors.
Materials used include polyurethane, tin-plated copper, nickel-coated brass, silicone, and various alloys, chosen for durability and specific environmental conditions.

Connector Specifications:

Breakaway Connectors: Include 3-socket and 5-pin configurations with snap-on coupling and potted strain relief. They operate within a temperature range of -40 to +176 °F (-40 to +80 °C) and are made of plastic.
BNC Triple Splice Connectors: Designed for triaxial accelerometers, featuring a bayonet coupling method and molded boot strain relief. They are made of nickel-coated brass and function between -40 to +176 °F (-40 to +80 °C).
MIL-C-5015 Connectors: Available in 2-socket and 3-socket configurations with threaded coupling and molded boot strain relief. Suitable for extreme temperatures ranging from -67 to +356 °F (-55 to +180 °C) and constructed from Ryton® and stainless steel.
M12 Connectors: Include 4-socket and 5-socket versions with threaded coupling and molded boot strain relief. Made of polyester and stainless steel, operating between -40 to +221 °F (-40 to +105 °C).
High Temperature 7/16-27 Connectors: Designed for use with high-temperature sensors, these connectors have a threaded coupling method and no strain relief. Made of stainless steel and can withstand temperatures from -320 to +500 °F (-196 to +260 °C).

Applications: Connectors are used with various models of accelerometers and transmitters, including single-axis, triaxial, and high-temperature sensors.
