Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings
The 0351500200 Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings are electrically disconnected housings and offer up to 40A current carrying capacity. It is built with high temperature thermoplastic to withstand temperatures up to 85°C and continuous operation up to 70°C. This connector also has a special feature – the ability to attach securely without disturbing circuit conductors and eliminate the need for multiple mechanical connections.
Application Field and Working Principle
These housings are primarily used for ground wire harness applications within the automotive industry. This connector is designed for use in car headlights, tail lights, and other accessories which carry low voltage current. It can be used for a variety of automotive applications, such as battery cables, starter motors, wiper motors, and various other underhood components.
The 0351500200 Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings are manufactured with a high temperature thermoplastic to resist temperature up to 85°C. The unique blade type housing allows grids or individual wires to be connected in different ways. Each connector has two pieces; one fixed blade and one movable blade. The movable blade is housed within a spring steel casing which allows it to be pushed into the fixed blade for maximum contact contact. The amount of force applied during the insertion/removal of the connection determines the strength of the final connection.
In order to secure the connection and provide mechanical support, the blade type connector has two lock slots, one at either side. This step is mandatory to ensure proper operation and tight connection. If the connection is loose, heat buildup will occur, causing the connection to fail. In comparison, a secure connection will provide a higher contact pressure, making the contact more reliable.
The 0351500200 Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings also offer additional features such as water and dust protection, with tight seals to prevent the ingress of moisture and dust. They provide superior insulation against short circuits, making them ideal for automotive applications. In addition, they have flame retardant characteristics, making them safe for use in a variety of automotive environments.
In conclusion, the 0351500200 Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings are used to connect and secure wires in automobile wiring systems. They offer a secure connection with a high current carrying capacity, while their waterproof and dust-proof construction makes them ideal for automotive use. Their flame retardant construction ensures safety in a variety of environments, while their tight seals keep moisture and dirt out.
