0385403713

Blade type power connectors, such as Model 0385403713, are designed to safely transfer electrical power from one point to another. Commonly used to establish a connection between electronic and electrical devices, these types of connectors are the connectors of choice in most industrial, consumer and automotive power applications.

Design

Blade type power connectors consist of a metal blade with an insulated handle. The blade is inserted into an aperture in the body of the connector, and then secured in place with a locking mechanism. The insulation handle protects the electrical connection from moisture, debris and other environmental hazards. The blade and handle are designed with specific measurements and contact patterns to create a secure connection.

Application Field

Blade type power connectors, such as the 0385403713 model, are often used in manufacturing, automotive, consumer, and industrial power applications. Specifically, these connectors can be used in applications such as motion control, automated machinery controls, computer power supplies and automobile power. Professional grade connectors are often used in some of the more harsh lighting and audio/visual power requirements. Some blade type connectors are designed to carry both AC and DC current.

Working Principle

Blade type power connectors work by establishing an electrical connection between two or more electrical components. Power is transmitted from one component to another through contact points on the blade and handle of the connector. When the blade of the connector is inserted into the receiving aperture, the metal contacts come into contact with their respective contact points in the connector. This creates a conductive path for the current, allowing electricity to flow between the two components.

Advantages

Blade type power connectors offer numerous advantages over other types of connectors. They are compact and lightweight, making them well-suited for applications with limited space. They are also designed with an insulation handle, making them highly resistant to environmental hazards. Additionally, these types of connectors have a high current-carrying capacity, making them suitable for many applications. Lastly, they are easy to install and maintain, making them an ideal choice for many applications.
