Grommets

Grommets can eliminate the need for standard or special connectors. Where a cable has to terminate inside a unit, a grommet can eliminate the requirement of fixing a 2 part connector system at the wall or interface. See also Feedthroughs.

A well designed grommet can increase the life of a flexing cable
A wide range of materials offers compatibility with the application and its parameters
A grommet can be an integral part of the hood or a separate piece part
Siamese twin grommets can provide different flexing characteristics for both power and signal cables.
Can be used in conjunction with the ‘header’ principle to land the cable on the pcb.
