Circular connectors have contacts intended to mate securely and create resilient electrical connections. These contacts are part of the 10-497695-115 connector family, specifically designed to connect cables to appliances. This article will discuss the applications of and the working principle behind these contacts.

Applications

The 10-497695-115 contact family can be used in a variety of applications and on many different types of devices. With a contact body size of 8.0 mm, the 10-497695-115 connectors are ideal for small space applications, such as cell phones, handheld devices, and keyboards.

The 10-497695-115 connector family is also suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications, from machinery and automotive equipment to medical and aeronautical equipment. This versatility provides engineers with increased usability and design freedom, allowing them to better meet the needs of their customers.

The 10-497695-115 contacts are also well suited for use in harsh environments. The contacts are made of gold-plated copper and epoxy-protected materials, providing excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

Working Principle

The 10-497695-115 contacts feature an integral locking system with an anti-corrosion mechanism. The contacts are inserted into a circular connector body, and the pressure of the tongue spring ensures contact retention. The contacts are then secured with a latch, which provides an audible and tactile indication of a permanent connection.

The contacts employ an elastomer boot that reduces the vibration and shock of the contact retention shoulder. This design helps to ensure the connection remains secure even under rigorous conditions. Additionally, the design of the contacts allows for tools to be used in order to secure the contacts manually.

Conclusion

The 10-497695-115 contact family are high-performance connections with versatile applications and are suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. The integral locking system and anti-corrosion features make them highly reliable and secure, and the design allows for precise manual assembly.
