0873401495 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are widely used in many industries, ranging from low cost to premier applications. Though there are different kinds of rectangular connector, 0873401495 is a basic and affordable item relatively while still featuring good performance. This article will talk about the application field and working principle of 0873401495 rectangular connector.

Application Fields

0873401495 connector is ideally suited for applications which involves up to 7 amp continuously. It is widely used in industries like automation, automotive, communication, manufacturing, medical, etc. Particularly, it is suitable for connecting lines of low power controls in escalators, elevators, laundry machines, kitchen appliances, air-conditioners, robots, etc. It can also be used in measuring instrument circuits, military or aerospace projects or areas with extreme electromagnetic disturbance.

Structure

The 0873401495 connector consists of an insulator body, a plurality of contacts, a plurality of terminals, and a clamping member. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic UL94-VO, and has a base, two side ribs and a through hole. The contacts are soldered to the terminals and are installed on two opposite sides wall of the base respectively, then the terminals extend through the through hole and attached to the top of the side ribs with a clamping member.

Working Principle

The contacts of the connector are inserted into opposite sockets/receptacles and then press down the clamping member, which will fasten the two mating parts and maintain a good connection between them. During this mating process, the contact force will press the terminals both downwards and outwardly, making the contact parts mechanically stable and reliable even with vibration or large force. Besides, each contact has a gold plated throwing contact pin, providing firm contact while avoiding oxidation.

Conclusion

The 0873401495 rectangular connector, with metallic shells, is applicable to the demand of up to 7A continuous power, and the stable structure and firm contacts make it remarkable in applications involving vibration or force, such as military or aerospace projects.
