Circular Connectors - Accessories - 066-8516-006 Application field and Working Principle

Circular connectors are versatile accessories that are suitable for a variety of applications. They provide reliable and secure electrical connection between two devices. 066-8516-006 connectors are commonly used in aviation, military, automotive, medical and industrial applications. They are also used in a wide range of rugged applications, where reliable performance in harsh environments is required.

066-8516-006 circular connectors are designed for reliable electrical multiple contact performance with easy rapid assembly. The connector consists of a plug and a receptacle. The pin or socket contacts are precision machined and can be made either from copper alloy or stainless steel. The receptacle has two latch locks to secure an electrical connection when mated with the plug. Pin contacts are protected with a dust cap to prevent contamination or damage during storage. The overall construction of the assembly is very solid and robust, with a minimum of moving parts.

The working principle of 066-8516-006 circular connectors is quite simple. The plug and receptacle each have two male and two female sockets that must be aligned so that the pins fit into the sockets when the two are mated. When the plug is mated with the receptacle, the pins form the electrical connection. The plug and receptacle must be mated properly for the connection to be effective and reliable. To ensure proper mating, the two latch locks engage when the plug and receptacle are mated. This prevents unintentional disengagement from vibration or other external forces.

066-8516-006 connectors offer superior electrical performance and reliability. Their robust construction makes them ideal for use in harsh environments where dust, moisture, vibration, corrosion, and temperature extremes are encountered. The mating cycle is durable, with a minimum of 500000 mating cycles. The temperature range of these connectors is from -54°C to +125°C. The assembled electrical connection is IP68 rated for water immersion.

066-8516-006 circular connectors offer a lot of advantages over other types of connectors. They are easy to install, require no special tools, and provide reliable and secure connections. The robust construction and superior electrical performance make them a widely popular choice for a variety of applications. If you need reliable electrical connection in an environment that is prone to dust, moisture, vibration, corrosion, and temperature extremes, 066-8516-006 is the right choice.
