Introduction

Contacts - Multi Purpose, is a range of contacts designed for a variety of applications. The 1-66360-0 contact is one of the most popular contacts in this range and is widely used for switching, circuit protection, and shorting purposes. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of this contact type.

Application Fields

1-66360-0 contacts are primarily used in applications where they need to provide reliable switching between two or more circuits. They are commonly used as a circuit breaker in industrial and automotive applications, where they can be used to quickly disconnect a current flow in order to protect equipment or personnel in case of short circuit or overload.The 1-66360-0 contact is also widely used in shorting applications, where it provides an alternate connection point in case the primary one fails. This is often seen in high-voltage systems, where copper wires or bars are used to short two or more points of a circuit. In these applications, the 1-66360-0 contact ensures a reliable connection between the two points, preventing the system from overloading and protecting the system from potential hazards.

Working Principle

The 1-66360-0 contact is a latching contact type, meaning that it only requires an initial current to be passed through in order to switch it on, and does not require any continuous current to remain switched. This is achieved through the use of a mechanical metal spring that is used to “catch” the contact and hold it firmly in its desired position. This latching mechanism is further improved with the addition of a metal disk, which acts as a barrier between the contact and its spring. This ensures that the contact is “locked” in its position and can only be operated by the correct current level being passed through it.

Conclusion

The 1-66360-0 contact is an incredibly versatile and robust contact type that is used for a variety of switching, shorting, and circuit protection applications. Its highly reliable mechanical latching mechanism ensures consistent and reliable operation, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
