New EZ-Cable Clips from Harwin handle more cables and help reduce interference

Cable management devices, for example, are usually bulky and screwed to the board after all the other components have been automatically placed. In contrast, Harwin’s EZ-Cable Clips are small and tidy and are surface mounted along with every other standard device, saving time, costs and space. A further advantage is that they do not degrade and become brittle like the plastic devices they are superseding.

Originally offered in four sizes covering 1-3mm cable diameters, the range now includes devices that can manage two 0.9mm diameter wires side by side, or – intriguingly – one 1.32mm diameter mini coaxial cable. When used with coaxial cables, if the outer cover is stripped back to reveal the screening braid, EZ-Cable Clips can provide a direct path to a ground lane, significantly improving EMC performance of the system.

Comments Product Manager, Paul Gillam: “EZ-Cable Clips are not only very cost-effective, they save space, reduce interference and last longer than traditional plastic products.”
