1-66471-6 Application Field and Working Principle

The 1-66471-6 Multi Purpose Contact is designed to be used in hazardous and hostile environments. This contact is a sealed-contact contact and is designed to meet the needs of commercial, industrial, and military applications. It has a robust construction and is suitable for various applications.

The contact is a 6A-3/8″ x 16mm contact material which is designed to switch alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) in range of 0V to 600V at currents up to 16A. It is available in nickel- or silver-plated contacts, with beryllium copper construction and an epoxy seal to prevent corrosion and contamination.

The contact provides reliable and long lifetime contact performance, ensuring the contact connection is secure. It features two connection shape options with screws or tabs for ease of installation. It is UL approved and CE marked for a wide range of environments.

Its operational working principle is based on the force of a spring-loaded pin pressing against an anode surface of the contact material. This action activates the electrically charged particles in the contact material and allows them to flow to the opposite side of the contact, creating a connection. The contact features an adjustable design to accommodate varying currents, voltages, and contact ratings.

The 1-66471-6 multi-purpose contact is suitable for a wide range of applications such as industrial Controls, automotive switches, lighting and appliances, telecommunication, networking equipment, switchgear, and signal processing applications.

When installed, the 1-66471-6 can improve the reliability and performance of mechanical and electrical functions. It guarantees that the contact connection is secure when the voltage and current reaches its peak levels, eliminating the need for additional contacts. Additionally, it provides adequate protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The 1-66471-6 multi purpose contact is a reliable and safe solution for a wide range of applications. With its robust construction, reliable performance and secure contact connections, it guarantees efficient and long-term application performance.
