Screw-Lock Molded Cable Assemblies
Vibration-proof cordsets that hold the connector mated with a threaded coupling instead of a friction latch, covering D-Sub DB9 / DB15 / DB25, M23 servo, GX16 aviation, VGA, DVI and locking USB-C. Sealed IP67 and panel-mount builds available; pinout and shell size set per order.

Specification table
A friction-fit plug eventually walks out under vibration, and a cable that snags in a service aisle pulls out faster. These assemblies replace that retention with a mechanical lock: a thumbscrew into a panel receptacle, a jackscrew on a D-Sub shell, or a threaded collar on a circular connector.
| Parameter | Standard build | Available on request |
|---|---|---|
| Locking method | 4-40 UNC thumbscrew, M2.5 / M3 thumbscrew | Jackscrew on D-Sub shells, threaded collars |
| Interface | D-Sub and DB9, USB-C, HDMI, RJ45 | VGA HD15, DVI-D, DisplayPort, GX16 aviation, M23 servo |
| Fieldbus | RS-485 Modbus RTU, CAN, DeviceNet ready lead Types | Profibus-style terminations on request |
| Servo builds | M23 power plus encoder feedback combinations | Brake pair and shielded feedback pairs in one jacket |
| Overmold material | PVC (cabinet runs), PUR (oil and coolant) | Low-profile bodies where clearance is tight |
| Strain relief | Molded at both ends with an internal clamp | Extended boot, bend-limiting tail |
| Screw hardware | Zinc-plated steel as standard | Stainless, captive panel screws |
| Sealing | IP67 with the matching panel receptacle | Gasketed versions for outdoor enclosures |
| Length | 0.3 m to 20 m | Any length with stated bend radius |
| Hardware kit | Screws supplied fitted | Spare screws, captive washers, labeled kits |
Screw threads follow the ISO metric screw thread series; USB, HDMI and servo interfaces keep to their own governing specifications: USB-IF, HDMI and EMVA for vision interfaces.
Typical applications
- Machine vision Camera leads that cannot be pulled loose when the gantry accelerates.
- Servo drives M23 power plus feedback combinations built as one assembly.
- CNC and control panels Operator-facing ports that get plugged and unplugged daily.
- Kiosks and vending USB and serial leads held against casual pulling.
- Marine and offshore Stainless hardware and sealing gaskets for salt-laden air.

Questions buyers ask
Thumbscrew or latch-style Bow lock?
Thumbscrews take more cycles and hold against vibration, but need a threaded receptacle and take longer to fit. Latches are faster if the equipment supports them. The trade-off is set out in our comparison of screw-lock and latch-style connectors.
What do you need to quote an overmolded assembly?
Panel thickness and cutout, the mating receptacle, cable OD range, minimum bend radius and the flex expectation. Those five inputs drive the tooling shape and the strain relief length. See what engineers should define.
Is the IP67 claim valid on its own?
No. Sealing is a property of the mated pair, so we rate it against a named receptacle and gasket. Tell us what the cable plugs into, and we quote the assembly against that instead of a bare part.
