Introduction
Quality Construction
Belden® molded cable assemblies are designed for long life
and reliable performance in a variety of input/output (I/O) and
keyboard interface applications. Among the many features of the
cable assemblies are these performance-enhancing attributes:
Shielding
　

Molded handles are 100% shielded (where used) to assist in FCC
compliance while guarding against EMI and RFI. Shield continuity
is maintained through the entire length of the assembly. The
connector shield is connected to both the connector shell and the
cable shield. This provides a low resistance ground path to optimize
shield performance.
　

Handles
Straight or right angle handles are available for different
connecting situations. Standard molding is PVC.
Connectors
Connectors consist of tin-plated shells with grounding indents
on male connectors. Pins and sockets are constructed of brass
or phosphor-bronze base with gold selectively plated over nickel.
　

Retention Systems
Belden offers several types of retention systems.
They include:
● Friction: Pin/contact force holds connectors mated.
● Screw: Retaining screws mate with female screwlocks.
Straight handle uses two screws; right angle handle
uses one screw. Screws are #4-40 thread of plated
steel with stainless steel clips.
● Slide Lock: Fingertip-operated slide mechanism holds
mated connectors securely. Slide lock clip is stainless
steel with plated screw, washer, and hex nut.
● Spring Latch: Stainless steel latch mates with latching blocks
(special orders only).
● Jack Screw: Two captive jacks crews mate securely with
female screwlocks. Zinc plated, #4-40 thread screws with
large knurled heads for easy fingertip connect/disconnect.
　

Wiring Patterns
Standard wiring is point-to-point on most assemblies. Special wiring
is available upon request.
Cables
For standard assemblies, Belden utilizes three standard cable
configurations for tailoring a cable to a specific electrical environment.
The cable configurations are as follows:
● General Purpose Unshielded: An economical assembly
where electrical noise/interference is not a problem.
● General Purpose Shielded: An overall foil shielded
assembly for use in situations where some noise/interference
is experienced or anticipated.
● Super Shield: A foil plus braid shield provides extra protection
in areas of moderate to heavy noise/interference.
　

Most of our molded cable assemblies are available from stock in
a wide variety of handles, cables, colors, retention systems, and
wiring patterns. Many of these are available off the shelf from
distributors. If you have a new or unusual application or you cannot
find molded cables in this catalog section that meet your technical
requirements, contact Technical Support at 1-800-BELDEN-1.
Molded Cable Assemblies Packaging
　

Unless otherwise indicated, molded cable assemblies are shipped
in individual packages or plastic bags with printed part numbers,
descriptions and an area to indicate the retail price.
