The-cable-tie- that-started-it-all.

This is a cable tie. One of a total of 60 000 HellermannTyton prod- ucts for fastening, fixing, identification and protecting cables and wiring in the automotive industry. Cable ties exist in practically innumerable variations. Their lengths range between 83 and 1060 millimetres, available in a variety of colours. Some can be released and are re-useable. Some have serrations on the outside, others on the inside. There are some that don’t have any serrations at all or can be tied in a double loop. It is easy to take the cable tie for granted but at HellermannTyton we are dedicated to ensuring that our cable ties are fully tried, tested and optimised. All HellermannTyton products, which you see in this catalogue, started at this point – even the most complex fastening solutions.

Final car door assembly: this one-piece push mount tie is the result of three decades of experience. Its arrowhead design ensures that the cable tie can be easily fitted without additional tools. In combination with a black foam rub- ber seal the plastic disc protects against the ingress of water. No wonder that these fixing ties can be found inside about every third car door produced in the world. In contrast to most of our other cable ties, they are green, so that workers can immediately spot a rare case where the black seal is missing. However, this almost never happens, as both parts are securely laser-welded to each other. The-cable-fastener-specifi- cally-developed-for-the- automotive-industry.

One-piece-fixing-ties-for-manual- mounting-in-drilled-holes-or-on- weld-studs-or-on-edges.

HellermannTyton standard fixing ties cover 90% of main circuit applications in a car. These products have been proving their success for many years. Not least due to the fact that they are continually optimised. Each cable tie is a specialist in its own field: For attaching two cable ties to one weld stud. For applications, which require a particularly high tensile strength, for example in the production of heavy-duty vehicles. For quick and easy mounting on edges with- out drilled holes or studs. The elements with the “soft push” mechanism can be easily mounted by hand and without the aid of any tools.

As examples for many standard one-piece fixing ties this page shows cable ties with the type descriptions: T50SOSWSP5E, T50SOSFT6E1, T50SOSEC12E and T50SOSSBH5E

The-double-clip-that-holds- three-tubes-for-the-brake- and-antilock-brake-sensor- and-CDC-on-just-two-point- fastening-points-on-the- rear-axle. An innovative solution, which combines two clips in one. The rear suspension construction requires a fastening element for which there are only two fasten- ing points available and with which the lines for the brake, antilock brake sensor and CDC can be accurately routed. The result of our development is our double clip. Its arrowhead enables fast and easy mounting. The brake tube is easily assembled with a simple push. This kind of development is always accompanied by a team including a developer, a new parts project manager and key account manager – from the idea to serial production.

The unit for operating the numerous options of comfortable seat adjustment needs to be accommodated in a very small space. This bracket replaces the conventional metal construction for the operat- ing unit under the seat. The innovative combination of design and

material made the development of this product possible. Its outstand- ing quality lies in the fact that the connector clip is also integrated in this bracket and therefore additional clips become superfluous. No question that this saves weight as well as costs.

The-three-points-to-start-the-thinking-process.

What is it that makes a fastening solution perfect? It’s the added value that takes you and your company a step further. It can be the optimi- sation of a tiny detail that makes a profitable difference.

It can also be an idea for the development of a brand new product. We generally work according to three methods to get the most out of our product solutions for our customers.

Individual customer product developments.

Development of market-leading all-purpose products.

Optimisation of existing products.

HellermannTyton develops sophisticated engineering for complex and individual fastening solutions for a particular vehicle, series or platform in the automotive industry.

When integrated with care and consi- deration, plastic products are perfect substi- tutes for many complex fastening systems – especially multipart constructions manufac- tured from various materials. In this they offer prerequisites for concepts that effectively reduce costs and increase productivity in all stages of the manufacturing process. From the production process, to the functionality of the actual application through to recycling, which in most cases only involves a product made from only one engineering polymer, such as polyamide. This is why we constantly invest in research and development. We are always aiming to set new global standards. Our success has proven us right: today we have over 60.000 products in our portfolio, which serve as inter- national benchmarks.

We understand the optimisation of our prod- ucts as a completely independent re-engineer- ing commitment. This means we constantly scrutinize the properties and possible applica- tions of our complete product portfolios. In close dialogue with our customers, as only extensive market and competitive analysis keeps us up-to-date with our customers’ requirements and demands. Direct collabora- tion with automotive manufacturers and sup- pliers allows us to constantly adapt and refine existing products according to contemporary manufacturing trends. This consistent and continual development of our products allows HellermannTyton to be your reliable partner, today and in future.

Innovative fastening solutions to meet your specific requirement profile.

Properties of polyamide PA66 Polyamides are among the most important thermoplastic synthetic materials. Thermoplastics can be reshaped by heating as often as required without undergoing chemical decomposition or other negative changes. This makes polyamide ideal for processing via injection moulding into high- quality products. About 90% of cable ties and fixings from HellermannTyton are made from this material. Polyamide is also known under the brand name of Nylon ® , which was introduced by the Dupont company. The inner structure of polyamide displays a partial order of polymer chains, i.e. polyamides are partially crystalline. Due to the tighter packing of the individual molecular chains polyamide only has limited transparency to light. The plastic is therefore described as translucent. Polyamide is a hygroscopic material - this means that it absorbs and releases water. The mechanical properties are significantly affected by the water content – especially flexibility and minimum tensile strength. In a standard atmosphere of 23ºC and 50% relative humidity, the degree of water saturation of polyamide is around 2.5%. For optimal processing of cable ties it is therefore important that the polyamide has a water content of approximately 2.5% in a state of equilibrium. The quality and functionality of the products are thus affected by the water content, therefore the correct storage of our prod- ucts is crucial. Please read our separate instructions on storage. Water content in polyamide

The molecular chains of PA66 are made from two base units:

The following PA66 variants are used for HellermannTyton products:

• Polyamide 6.6 standard (PA66) for temperature conditions of up to +85ºC • Polyamide 6.6 heat-stabilised (PA66HS) for temperature conditions of up to +105ºC • Polyamide 6.6 UV-stabilised (PA66W) for exterior use • Polyamide 6.6 heat-stabilised and UV-stabilised (PA66HSW) for exterior use up to +105ºC • Polyamide 6.6 impact-resistant (PA66HIR) for high elasticity requirements • Polyamide 6.6 impact-resistant and heat-stabilised (PA66HIRHS) for high elasticity requirements and temperatures up to +105ºC • Polyamide 6.6 V0 for high standards of fire protection.

[-NH(CH2)6NH-CO(CH2)4CO]

1st base unit with 6 C atoms

2nd base unit with 6 C atoms

Each base unit contains 6 carbon atoms (C). Hence the name PA66. The polyamide PA66 has many properties which are highly advantageous for HellermannTyton cable ties and fixings, such as: • High strength, rigidity and hardness • High dimensional stability, even under the effect of heat • High abrasion resistance A wide-ranging selection of polyamides and additives allows for an optimum adaptation of the properties of the finished product to suit the respective requirements. Since humidity is so critical to the quality of the tie, the question arises: What happens if the tie is installed and the water content in the tie alters? The water content determines the flexibility and strength of a tie. At a water content of approximately 2.5% the tie has the ideal flexibility for installation. When the strap is being threaded through the head of the tie, the pawl must be flexible enough to “see-saw” over the serration of the strap without breaking. On the other hand, there must also be adequate material rigidity for the serrations of the pawl to engage with the serrations of the strap during the tying process so that a 'positive locking' action is achieved. After achieving the positive locking action the

tie is in a static condition. Changes in the mechanical properties of the tie as

a function of water content are insignificant during this status.

Properties of UV-stabilised polyamide (PA66W) The question constantly arises as to whether a black cable tie is suitable for use outside. This is dependant on the application of the tie, but in general the following statements can be made:

After 500 hours of UV- radiation exposure Polyamide 6.6 standard (PA66) dyed black:

Polyamide 6.6 UV-stabilised (PA66W) with approx. 2% carbon black:

A black cable tie made of polyamide 6.6 standard (PA66) is only coloured black with a low proportion of carbon black. This is not sufficient to protect the material from dam- age caused by UV-radiation in the long term. Products made from UV-stabilised polyamide PA66W are produced in accordance with ASTM standard D6779 with a higher carbon black percentage of approx. 2%. So they resist UV-radiation in the European area for a considerably longer period than standard PA66. This is clearly illustarted by the comparison of the two images on the right:

The joint has only been altered at isolated points by the UV-radiation.

The joint has been damaged throughout by UV-radiation.

For outdoor use, therefore, we recommend our range of products made from UV-stabilised polyamide (PA66W).

Properties of polyamide PA12 Apart from PA66, there are polyamides which are less hygroscopic. These include PA12, which has a molecular chain made of a base unit with 12 carbon atoms:

Properties of polyamide PA46 Polyamide PA66, despite the use of additives, is not suitable for long-term use in temperatures of +105ºC. Due to considerably better heat resistance, polyamide PA46 is more suitable for temperatures of up to and exceeding 150ºC (depending on the length of time of operation). The molecular chain of PA46 is composed of two base units:

A simple practical test: “the hammer test”

You can quickly determine whether or not a cable tie is UV stabilised. Strike with a hammer the tail of the strap on the tie. Hold up this flattened end to the light. Cable ties with a carbon black content of about 2% allow no light through and look black throughout. Standard black ties, however, are transparent on the flattened end.

[-NH(CH2)11CO-]

PA12 has the following advantages over PA66: • Less hygroscopic - saturation at 23ºC and 50% relative humidity is approximately 1%. • Better impact performance. • Good weather resistance, even without a special additive. These three properties make PA12 ideal for use outdoors, in particularly when requirements may include impact resistance. The water absorption of PA12 is not only less than that of PA66 but also slower. This is the requirement where the mechanical properties need to remain relatively unaffected by changing environmental conditions.

[NH-(CH2)4NH-CO-(CH2)4-CO-]

1st base unit with 4 C atoms

2nd base unit with 6 C atoms

Advantages of PA46 over PA66: • Greater rigidity, even at higher temperatures. • Higher operating temperature ranges of up to +150ºC (5,000 hours). • Greater form stability at higher temperatures. • Excellent chemical resistance.

What does Flammability UL94 mean?

UL is the shortcut for Underwriters Laboratories. This is an independent organisation in the United States to control and certificate product safety. Beside a lot of product standards UL also specified the flammability test UL94 for plastic materials. UL94 is a material burning test done on defined specimen of the raw material but not a test on final products. UL94 differs between a horizontal burning test UL94 HB (picture 1) and a vertical burning test UL94 V (picture 2). For the vertical test UL94 V there are three flame ratings defined: UL94 V0, UL94 V1 and UL94 V2.

UL94 V: Vertical burning test Test criteria: • afterflame time of specimen • drip of flaming particles Classification: • according to V0, V1 or V2

UL94 HB: horizontal burning test Test criteria: • burning rate of specimen in mm/min. Classification: • according to HB

In all these burning test s an open flame is applied for a certain time to the specimen. As the burning behaviour also depends on the thickness of the material it is important to classify the material not only according to HB, V0, V1 or V2 but also to mention the thickness of specimen.

Following table is a summary of test procedures and requirements of the above four UL94 classification.

Introduction to the main locking technologies used for cable ties HellermannTyton offers a wide range of cable ties for use in different applications. By constantly refining our products and satisfying the ever-changing demands of the market, various locking technologies have been developed. Below you will find a brief overview of three most common locking technologies and their characteristics.

Cable ties with plastic pawls This technology is used in 90% of all polyamide (PA) cable ties aupplied by HellermannTyton. In order to cover a variety of applications, there are different variants of this system, for example: releasable ver- sions, in-line versions, open head versions. These are one-piece cable ties, that is the pawl is moulded as an integral part of the cable tie, thereby building in inherent strengths. Locking technology Positive locking is achieved by engaging the pawl with the strap serrations. This allows the cable tie to perform to the published minimum tensile strength, that is the load- ing that the cable tie can hold under appli- cation (see page 0000).

MBT series of cable ties Made of stainless steel grades 304 or 316, the MBT range of cable ties have no serra- tions on the strap and are threaded parallel through the head, gliding under a metal ball-bearing locking mechansm. By using the MK9SST application tool the cable tie is tensioned and the strap cut to a flush finish. Locking technology The strap is locked into the head by means of the small ball-bearing. The ball locks into the small end of the wedged shaped hous- ing, forming a positive locking with the strap. This cable tie is not suitable for rigid objects. Retraction of the ball-bearing (see drawing) is required into the small end of the wedged shaped housing to allow for a positive lock- ing of the strap and also to make a flush cut of the end of the strap. Retraction, therefore, cannot take place with the bundling of inflexible materials. To bundle rigid objects LFPC channel should be laid as buffer between strap and bundled material to compensate for this retraction. This lock- ing technology allows for minimum tensile strengths of up to 5400 Newton.

KR series cable ties This cable tie is distinguished by its smooth strap and unique locking mechanism. With the KR series the chamfered head achieves an especially firm fit around the bundled material. Locking technology This patented lock technology takes advan- tage of the excellent deformation properties of polyamide (PA). Here, the glass fibre-rein- forced (GRP) locking pin (yellow) is forced into the strap by the use of an application tool - either the KR6/8 or KR8PNSE (see page 0000). The strap is deformed into the head of the tie by the application of the pin, thereby locking the cable tie in position and allowing for the bundling heavy loads.

Determination of minimum tensile strength

The minimum tensile strength is a critical selection criterion for cable ties. It expresses how much loading a cable tie can bear. This minimum tensile strength is determined in

accordance with the Military Specification and Standards of the USA. Test conditions being laid down precisely in MIL-S-23190E: - Conditioning of the test pieces

- Construction of the test apparatus - Application of the tie on a split test probe - Test speed

The test procedure to determine minimum tensile strength

The cable tie is fixed onto a split mandril test probe with the

The mandril is opened at a defined speed.

The loading at which the cable tie fails is determined. This value is stated in Newtons (N) and is recorded through a computer programme reading the tests. This pro-

suitable cable tie application tool.

gramme produces graphs as outlined below.

Typical measurement protocol of a T50R made of PA66 with a minimum tensile strength of 225 N.

Explanation of minimum tensile strengths

What does a minimum tensile strength of 225 N (50LBS) mean? To explain what this value means, the mass with which the tie can be loaded is calculat- ed. The unit of measurement of the mass is stated in kg. To do so, the unit Newton (N) is shown in the following way: [N] = [kg * m/s²] The formula for calculating the mass is: Mass = minimum tensile strength/ acceleration due to gravity The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s²: Mass = minimum tensile strength/ [kg * m/s²] /9.81 [m/s²] At a minimum tensile strength of 225 N 50LBS) the mass is: Mass = 225 [kg * m/s²] /9.81 [m/s²]

In order to withstand a load of 53 kg, the tie must therefore have a minimum tensile strength of 520 N. In this case, select our T120R with a minimum tensile strength of 535 N (120LBS).

The units m/s² cancel each other out, leav- ing the unit [kg] for the mass. Thus: Mass = 225/9.81 kg = 22.9 kg Therefore, a T50R cable tie with a minimum tensile strength of 225 N (50LBS) can be loaded with 22.9 kg. Conversely, with the required loading capac- ity the minimum tensile strength can be cal- culated by a mass: Min. tensile strength = mass * 9.81[m/s²]

225 N/9,81 = 22,9 kg

If the tie is to be loaded with, for example, 53 kg this produces:

Minimum tensile strength = [53 kg] * 9.81 [m/s²] = 520 N

53 kg * 9.81 = 520 N

Optimum storage conditions for cable ties made of polyamide (PA)

HellermannTyton cable ties, fastenings and fixings are manufactured from high- quality polyamide (PA). This industrial synthetic material is mainly processed using injection moulding, but can also be extruded.

The packaging used by HellermannTyton ensures that the water content in the material remains constant. Therefore, it is important to store the products in their original pack- aging to preserve the quality of the ties.

Polyamide is a hygroscopic material. This means that the material absorbs and loses moisture. For optimum handling of cable ties it is important that the material is in a condition of equilibrium with a water con- tent of approximately 2.5%.

Always store ties in the sealed plastic bag made of polyethylene!

Once opened you should use the ties as quickly as possible.

Do not expose the product to direct sunlight

Do not store the product in sunlight; for example, on the windowsill.

Store the product away from direct sources of heat

Avoid contact with heat: for example, do not place on the radiators.

The ideal storage conditions are those of the central European standard climate:
