Electrical connector backshell torque tool

摘要

A tool used for applying specified torque to the backshells of electrical connectors has a cylindrical body of diameter compatible with that of the backshell on which it is used with a cutout on said cylindrical body to allow wires from the connector to be routed away from the tool. A high friction material such as silicone rubber or similar type substance is bonded to the inner lower lip of the tool, below the cutout section, and a clamping means with separable closure and adjustable friction producing strap is bonded to the outer lower lip of the tool across its rear surface and over the front of said cutout. A fitting at the top of the tool is located on the tool's axis and is designed to accept conventional socket torque wrenches.
