Circular Connectors - Contacts are widely used in both industrial and consumer electronics for power, data, audio, and video applications. 10-730742-121 is a high-speccircularcontact from TE Connectivity, formerly known as Tyco Electronics. This contact is part of TE Connectivity\'s COMBICON family of circular connectors.

Overview

The 10-730742-121 contact is a shielded PCB-mount, quick-connect female contact. It is designed for use with cables and accessories in power, data, audio, and video applications. The contact features insulation displacement and is designed with a double-slot contact that ensures reliable electrical contact and is compatible with a wide range of mating components. The contact also features gold plated contacts, gold plated housings, and a low-profile design for easy installation.

Applications

The 10-730742-121 is commonly used in applications such as industrial controls, automotive electronics, power supplies, lighting fixtures, and telecommunication networks. This contact is frequently used to connect data and power cables in machines, computers, and in consumer electronics. It can be used in applications where space is limited, such as in panels and hand-held devices.

Working Principle

The 10-730742-121 contact has an insulation displacement feature that ensures reliable electrical contact with the mating components. This contact features two slots that are designed to provide reliable electrical contact when connected to a mating component. The two slots also help to reduce the contact resistance, which increases the current-carrying capacity of the contact. When the contact is connected to the mating component, the insulation displacement feature helps isolate the contact from surrounding components, preventing electrical shorts. The gold plating on the contact and housing also helps to ensure an electrical connection and reduce contact resistance. The low-profile design of the contact helps to reduce the contact height, making it easier to install in tight spaces.

Conclusion

The 10-730742-121 contact from TE Connectivity is a high-spec circular contact designed for use in a variety of industrial and consumer electronics applications. It features insulation displacement and two slots, which provide reliable electrical contact and reduce contact resistance. The contact also features gold plating on the contact and housing, and a low-profile design for easy installation in restricted spaces. This contact is suitable for applications such as industrial controls, automotive electronics, power supplies, lighting fixtures, and telecommunication networks.
