Wiring Clamp System V2

thingiverse

This system is currently under development to design a set of clamps that can be used to solder or assemble wiring/wiring harnesses. Initially, four distinct parts are being designed: the sliders allow the clamp to move as the bolt is screwed in. The base secures the bolt into the slide and comes in two variations - one uses M4 hardware to secure it to the slide while tightening the clamp with an M6 bolt, and another version utilizes 6-32 hardware for attachment to the slide with a 1/4 bolt. Mounting holes are spaced 1.5 inches apart for attaching to a work surface or rail. There are two types of sliders: the base slider is thin and serves as the bottom of the clamp, coming in three wire sizes; the top slide has an indent for the bolt and tightens down on the wires, also available in three sizes. Required hardware includes: Metric: M4x8 screws (2) M4 nuts (2) M6x160 hex bolts M6 nuts SAE: 6-32x3/8" screws (2) 6-32 nuts (2) 1/4-20x3" hex bolts 1/4-20 nuts On September 25, 2016, a Flat Slider was added for general clamping applications that do not require a base slider. If you have custom wire or cable sizes, please let me know and I will attempt to design sliders for your specific needs. I am still working on this project and have not thoroughly tested it yet; therefore, any suggestions are welcome. On November 18, 2017, the system was moved over to Fusion360, where all files were remodeled and adjusted for more accurate printing. A large wire clamp has also been added.
