Strain-relief bushing secures wires

Double D Lockit seals electrical housing, chassis mounting and cord openings on industrial electronicsHEYCO Products has released a strain-relief bushing which clamps wires or cords securely to prevent rotation within an electrical chassis or housing.
According to the company, its Double D Lockit seals electrical housing, chassis mounting and cord openings on industrial electronics, motor housing and lighting fixtures. It prevents twisting, pulling and other straining forces on wires and cords.
The company claims this is important as stressing current-carrying wires can cause electrical failure.
The unit fits into standard Double D openings, with flat sides on both ends preventing it from turning in the opening. It can be installed without using any tools.
The bushing can handle chassis up to 3.2mm thick, and cords with diameters from 5.5mm to 11mm. It comes in various colours and can withstand temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius.
Heyco products are available through NPA in Australia.
