10-184997-163

Circular Connectors - Backshells and Cable Clamps refer to hardware used to connect cables into electrical and electronic equipment. The 10-184997-163 is a type of circular connector designed for higher power applications and has a screw locking mechanism that provides extra strength compared to other types of connectors.

The 10-184997-163 circular connector consists of four parts; the socket, backing, ferrule and spring-loaded release button. The socket houses the contact pins that interface with the corresponding mating pins and the backshell protects the pins and ensures secure connection and strain relief for the wires. The ferrules are tapered end caps that are screwed onto the backshell to secure the contact pins. The spring-loaded release button facilitates quick and easy installation and removal.

The 10-184997-163 can be used in a wide variety of applications including in aerospace, automotive, medical and consumer electronics. The electrical power rating is typically 250V AC/190V DC, at a maximum current rating of 8 amps. The temperature rating is -30°C ~ +85°C and working frequency ranges up to 200MHz. It can be used in either outdoor or indoors environments, making it an ideal choice for many applications.

The main feature of the 10-184997-163 circular connector is its locking mechanism. The design addresses the issue of having to use excessive force or rely on a tight fit or pluggable contacts to ensure a reliable connection. The locking mechanism uses a spring-loading feature which locks the contact pins firmly in place, ensuring both secure and strain relief. This offers higher reliability and durability compared to other types of connectors. The 10-184997-163 connector is also designed to ensure a low profile when installed so as not to interfere with other components placed nearby.

The working principle behind the 10-184997-163 circular connector is fairly simple. When the connector is mated, the contact pins of the socket insert into the corresponding mating pins of the backshell. The ferrule then must be screwed onto the backshell to secure the contact pins firmly in place and the release button is then pressed to release the locking mechanism. This ensures a secure connection and strains are properly relieved. Finally, the connector is ready to be used.

In conclusion, the 10-184997-163 circular connector is an ideal choice for higher power applications due to its high reliability and durability. The locking mechanism allows for easy, secure installation and strain relief while the low profile makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications. The connector is also perfect for indoor and outdoor use in a wide variety of environments.
