What is 10-40450-24

The 10-40450-24 is a quick disconnect plug. It is made of a combination of brass, stainless steel, and a thermoplastic material for maximum service and longevity. This model is specifically designed to be used with smaller wire sizes, with a maximum wire size of 20 awg (American Wire Gauge). This plug has a clamp-to-cable range of 2 mm²—13 mm². With its sleeve design, it enables faster wire crimp and installation and offers superior pull-out force and strength. The insulated sleeve also provides reliable prevention from electric shock. The product features a flexible, single-piece collar which allows both sides to be closed with the same motion.

10-40450-24 Application Fields

The 10-40450-24 is mainly used in applications where connection and disconnection of power cables are necessary. The product is suitable and certified to applicable electrical requirements, making it an excellent choice for electrical applications such as automotive and home appliances. It has an IP67 rating and is sealed to prevent dirt, dust, moisture, and other liquids from entering the conical plug. It is highly recommended for outdoor applications such as agriculture, transportation, and industrial applications.

Operational Principle

The 10-40450-24 plug operates on a simple principle: it holds two pieces of wire firmly together. The plug features a lockable sleeve, so when the plug is inserted into the socket, the sleeve locks into position around the wires and tightens up as the plug inserts further into the socket. This creates a strong, firm connection between the two wires. The plug also features a vibration and shock-resistant design to protect it from mechanical damage. Once the wires are connected, current can flow through the connection safely and securely.

Conclusion

The 10-40450-24 plug is a great choice for applications which require frequent connections and disconnections. This plug is suitable for a wide range of applications, making it a versatile and reliable accessory for circular connectors. It is easy to install and offers superior performance, making it the ideal choice for electrical and outdoor applications.
