  2. String potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_potentiometer

    Since the measuring cable may sag or be deflected by wind or gravity, the overall precision of a string potentiometer measurement is limited. The cable mechanism limits the speed at which the measured object can move. Changing temperatures affect both the length of the cable and the resistance value of the potentiometer.

  3. Bulldog clip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulldog_clip

    Bulldog clips can be used in many domestic, industrial, and arts and crafts applications, including: The binding of a flip book allowing sheets to be added, removed or replaced. [1] A cable tidy at a computer station. The clip can be clamped onto the edge of a desk and computer cables can be threaded through the holes on the end of the tip ...

  4. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    Each diameter was multiplied by 0.890526 to give the next lower size. This is now the American wire gauge (AWG), and is prevalent in North America and used to some extent in over 65 countries, with a market share of about 30% of all power and control wires and cables. [3]

  6. Cable tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tester

    A cable tester is an electronic device used to verify the electrical connections in a signal cable or other wired assembly. Basic cable testers are continuity testers that verify the existence of a conductive path between ends of the cable, and verify the correct wiring of connectors on the cable. More advanced cable testers can measure the ...

  7. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

    In this example, the solder tabs connected to the cable represent the permanent connection, whilst the male connector portion interfaces with a female socket forming a detachable connection. There are many ways of applying a connector to a cable or device. Some of these methods can be accomplished without specialized tools.

  8. R-clip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-clip

    R-clips are commonly used to secure the ends of round shafts such as axles and clevis pins. The straight leg of the R-clip is pushed into a hole near one end of the shaft until the semicircular "belly" in the middle of the other, bent leg of the R-clip grips one side of the shaft resisting any force removing the R-clip from its hole.

  9. 66 block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/66_block

    A split-50 M-type 66 block with bridging clips attached. A 66 block is a type of punch-down block used to connect sets of wires in a telephone system. They have been manufactured in four common configurations, A, B, E and M. [a] A and B styles have the clip rows on 0.25" centers while E and M have the clip rows on 0.20" centers.
