1217046-1

Terminals - Ring Connectors

The 1217046-1 is a type of terminal connector for use in industrial and commercial electrical applications. It is a ring connector typically used to connect electrical cables in situations where a secure connection is required. The 1217046-1 is made from a highly durable and corrosion resistant alloy metal and it is designed to be used in applications requiring a high-level of electrical performance. It is commonly used in a wide range of industries, from automotive to aerospace and has been widely accepted as a reliable and resilient terminal connector.

The 1217046-1 is a three-part terminal, consisting of a cable lug, insulation, and a coupling nut. The cable lug is a cylinder made from a metal alloy that is resistant to corrosion, such as brass, copper, or steel. The insulation is either a metal jacket or a plastic jacket that protects the lug from any sparks or other electrical hazards. The coupling nut is used to secure the cable lug and insulation together, ensuring a secure connection.

The 1217046-1 is designed for use in a variety of applications, such as connecting two pieces of electrical equipment or connecting electrical components. It is also used to connect two cables together, for example in a starter battery system. In most cases, the 1217046-1 can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The working principle of the 1217046-1 is relatively simple. When the cable lug is securely connected to the insulation it prevents physical contact from occurring between the metal lugs of the cable. This prevents a spark from being generated. The insulation blocks the flow of electricity, which prevents electrical shock from occurring if a person or another conductor makes contact with the terminal. The coupling nut is tightened up until it is securely connected, ensuring a tight fit. This prevents moisture from entering the terminal and interfering with the electrical connection.

The 1217046-1 is a versatile terminal connector, providing robust and reliable connections for a variety of situations. It is relatively easy to install and use, making it a popular choice in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is a cost-effective solution for terminating electrical cables with high-performance reliability.
