It then leads customers through the process of selecting not just the right connector for the application, but also appropriate items from PEI’s proprietary range of pre-tested and pre-matched backshells, shrink boots and other accessories, which offer a cost-effective solution for terminating the connector to the cable.
The complete kit of parts is supplied by PEI-Genesis in one bag with a single part number, thereby eliminating the need to order several different part numbers.
To make product selection as easy as possible, the 284-page cable-assembly cook book includes comprehensive data on 14 different ranges of connectors from leading manufacturers Amphenol and ITT Interconnect Solutions (ITT Cannon).
There is also an accessories section covering heat-shrink tubing, flexible conduit, potting compounds, cable ties and tools, while an appendix provides useful reference material such as a glossary of terms, conversion tables and a complete part-number index.
A complementary website, www.peicookbook.com, enables individual cook book sections to be downloaded in PDF format and also includes a variety of additional resources.
