Abstract: Clamping device includes a clamp frame that is configured to move between an open configuration, in which the clamp frame is configured to receive at least one longitudinal element, and a closed configuration, in which the clamp frame wraps around and holds the at least one longitudinal element. The clamp frame includes a coupling end having an inner surface and a coupling base having an outer surface. The inner and outer surfaces have profiles that form a locked engagement to hold the clamp frame in the closed configuration. The clamping device also includes a secondary locking mechanism that secures the coupling end and the coupling base to each other. The secondary locking mechanism is activated after the clamp frame is held in the closed configuration by the locked engagement.

Abstract: Electrical connector includes a connector shell having a passage therethrough and an end section. The electrical connector also includes a coupling nut that is mounted to the end section of the connector shell and has a sleeve wall that surrounds and interfaces with the end section. The coupling nut is rotatable about a central axis. One of the sleeve wall of the coupling nut and the connector shell is shaped to include a spring arm, and the other includes a series of radial teeth that are disposed circumferentially around the central axis. The spring arm slidably engages the radial teeth in a ratchet-like manner as the coupling nut is rotated about the central axis. The spring arm and the radial teeth impede rotation in a first direction about the central axis and permit rotation in an opposite second direction about the central axis.

Abstract: A low profile component tie includes a strap having a top and a bottom. The strap is configured to wrap around a component with the bottom facing the component. The strap has sides between the top and the bottom. The strap has teeth disposed along at least one of the sides. The strap extends between a root end and a distal end. A head is provided at the root end of the strap. The head has a channel configured to receive the strap. The head has at least one pawl provided in the channel. The pawl engages at least one of the teeth along the side of the strap to secure the strap in the head.

Abstract: A hold down assembly for an electronic unit includes a locking washer having a cone at a front end thereof. The locking washer has a tang provided in the cone and extending forward from the cone. The cone is configured to receive a mounting hook of the electronic unit with a first side of the tang bearing against the mounting hook to lock the position of the locking washer relative to the mounting hook. An actuator knob is rotatably coupled to the locking washer. The actuator knob is configured to be tightened to a threaded shaft to tighten the hold down assembly to the electronic unit and drive the locking washer toward the mounting hook.
