5-160479-2 Connectors, Interconnects

Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors are devices that offer a quick and easy way to connect and disconnect two electrical components. The three standard types of Quick Connects are: compression, screw-lock, and combination. They are commonly used in low and medium voltage applications, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, and medical equipment.

Compression Quick Connects

Compression Quick Connects utilize a compression fitting system, which requires a compression sleeve to be installed over the wire and crimped in an appropriate crimping tool. After the sleeve is installed, pushing it into the Quick Connect pushes the wire onto the contacts inside the Quick Connect. They provide a quick and easy connection, as well as good electrical connection, with no need for soldering.

Screw-Lock Quick Connects

Screw-Lock Quick Connects use a set screw to keep the wire from disconnecting from the connector. These type of Quick Connects require more time for installation, but provide an easy way to secure a wire connection without having to cut and solder the wire. The set screw should be tightened by hand or with a screwdriver.

Combination Quick Connects

Combination Quick Connects have both a compression fitting and a set screw. They offer a good connection with a secure attachment to the wire, but they are more expensive than the other two types because they require twice as many components. These connectors should be used when a secure connection is needed, but speed is also a factor.

Quick Connects are a reliable and convenient way to disconnect the wires to one component and connect it to another. They have become increasingly popular for their ease of use, speed of installation, and convenience. They are also widely used in low and medium voltage applications such as consumer electronics, medical and industrial equipment.

Quick Disconnect Connectors offer a fast and easy connection for low and medium voltage applications. They are available in several models, including: snap-in, snap-on, coupled, cable, and split. They provide a reliable connection and disconnection without the need for soldering. Typical applications include consumer electronics, radio frequency equipment, and industrial automation.

Quick disconnect connectors are designed to ensure a positive connection between two wires or cables. When the connector is closed, it is held in place by spring pressure. To open the connector, simply depress the spring-loaded release tab. This releases the pressure and the connector opens, allowing for easy reconnection or disconnection. These connectors also feature locking tabs or holes to ensure the connector stays securely attached.

Quick disconnect connectors are highly reliable, and feature a wide range of operating temperatures and current bearing capacities. They are also available with various insulation materials to match the insulation of the application. The connectors are relatively easy to install and are designed to offer a quick and easy solution for common wiring needs.

The 5-160479-2 Quick Connect and Quick Disconnect Connector is a highly reliable, combination connector. This device is designed to ensure a positive connection between two wires, and is available with various insulation options. It is suitable for use in telecommunications, consumer electronics, and medical equipment applications. The connector is also easy to install and offers a fast and easy solution for a variety of wiring needs.
