[Dsg-hallc_nps] Radiall connector

[Brian Eng]

That was going to be my guess as well. From the top down picture it looks like the threaded portion on the new ones have a slightly bigger diameter compared to the old ones.

Mindy, I've looped in Greg.

Hi Greg,
First, Happy New Year!
Please see below the email from Mindy (and attachments) regarding the strain relief for the Radiall 52-pin connectors.
I wonder if it's possible that the connectors were shipped with the wrong screws?
That's really the only reason I can think of for this situation.
If anyone else has any ideas...

-- Aaron

I have a new issue with the Radiall connectors. The last five connectors I tried to attach have strain relief screws that won't tighten. I tried one from a previous order, it tightened properly. The first picture shows the strain relief attached to a connector. The second picture is a top view of the strain relief. They look like they're made of different materials, the old ones are shinier. The last picture is a side by side view, the screw holes look like the depths are different.

The screws are slightly loose in the holes, even before I try to attach them to the connector. Poor quality control?
