Cable Protection Tube for Nector S Connectors
The TE Connectivity 1740260-1 is a tube accessory from the Nector S series, designed to fit over a 7.5mm connector. It is moulded from white thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a material chosen for its flexibility and resistance to cable-bend fatigue in harness assemblies. The tube is specified for use with H03VVH2-F cable, a common European-style flat twin-core sheathed cable, making this part a direct fit for appliance or light-industrial wiring where that cable type is specified.
What This Tube Does in the Assembly
This is not a connector body or a terminal — it is a cable-protection tube that slides over the connector-to-cable transition. The TPE material provides strain relief at the connector back, preventing the cable jacket from kinking or pulling out of the termination. The white colour is a visual identifier, useful for polarisation or routing in multi-cable harnesses. The tube is packaged in bulk, so it is ordered per-piece for assembly-line kitting.
