Composite Jam Nut Socket

The correct application of torque is essential to most connector applications where Jam Nut receptacle connectors are used. The sealing components (usually an “O” ring) must be compressed, but not to the point of damage. Another consideration when tightening Jam Nuts is the thread strength. This is extremely important in the various types of aluminum and composite connectors.

DMC Jam Nut Socket tools have been developed specially for the installation of Jam Nut receptacle connectors. They are available in a versatile composite construction which is an excellent choice for OEM assembly areas due to their light weight, and the non-marking surfaces, a durable machined aluminum series and the traditional “General Purpose” formed steel socket for non-torque specific applications.

A unique process was developed to mold this composite material which contains a higher percentage of fiber glass than is customarily used in conventional molding technology. this makes them as light and a s strong as possible. The material will not scratch plating, or damage the finish on cabinets, panels or bulkheads when properly used.
