Carpentry & Industrial Design
Beginning With Simpler Examples and Moving to More Sophisticated Designs
3/8" Cable Clamp Connector That Could Be Modified (My Drawings)
At Left is an Example of an Electrical Box Cable That is Similar to the One I Drafted in the Drawings Below
It is Described in an Online Catalog as a 3/8" Cable Clamp Connector With a 1/2" Knockout for Non Metallic Cable
The One in the Drawings Below Were Drawn From the Object Itself (Albeit a Different One)
The Red Decimal Inch Dimensions Were Used to Make the Drawing More Readable for the Viewer and Performs This Function Quite Well
This Drawing Displays the Basic Orthographic Projection Views to Show the Necessary Detail in Addition to an Enlargement to Show a Thread Detail
Interestingly Enough, This part of the Total Assembly is a Cast Item and That Would Make It Far Less Expensive to Manufacture as Opposed to Being Machined From A Block of Material
This Set of Drawings Could Serve as a Starting Point For a Designer to Make Changes or Improvements or for a Manufacturer to Start a New Line of This Type of Product
Another Part of the Assembly is Also Made From Cast Aluminum And Yet Another is Made From Stamped Stainless Steel and Both Are the Most Cost Effective for Their Use
There is a Fine Line Between Too Much Detail (Ex. Dimensions) and Just Enough Detail to Convey the Information in the Drawing
It Should Also Be Noted That if All the Drawings in This Set Were a Bit Larger, the Detail Would Come Through Much Clearer
A Simple Exploded Isometric Drawing of How All Components Go Together
