Nector M Ring Nut for Cable Retention
The TE Connectivity 293660-5 is a ring nut from the Nector M series, designed as a threaded circular connector accessory. It secures the cable end of plug and receptacle housings, with a specified cable diameter of 14.75mm and accommodation for 5, 6, and 7 position connectors. The natural-colored nut is molded from glass-filled polyamide (nylon), giving it the strength to handle repeated tightening cycles on the factory floor or in the field without cracking.
What the 14.75mm Cable Diameter Means for Fit
The 14.75mm cable diameter spec is the working range this ring nut is meant to clamp around. If your cable jacket measures outside that diameter, the nut won't seat properly against the housing's cable gland — the retention and seal both depend on that fit. The 5, 6, and 7 position range tells you which Nector M housings this nut pairs with; it's not a universal fit across the whole series, so match the position count on your housing before ordering.
