Terminals - Magnetic Wire Connectors

1217176-1 is a kind of connector for wire termination which encompasses magnetic properties to grip and secure wires or cables to make a safe and reliable connection. It has been applied in various industry fields and its working principle is based on the effects of magnetism.

Application Field

1217176-1 is typically used for a wide range of applications including the manufacture of electrical wiring harnesses in various industries such as aviation, space, railway transportation, automobiles, electric power, electronic instruments, and communications. It is also widely used for cabling in fire alarms, consumer electronics, and other common industries.

As it can attach the cables securely without contact, it is applicable for installations requiring maximum safety. Also, it eliminates the need for additional support devices such as clips, clamps, or screws, thus saving time and cost. 1217176-1 also has a wide temperature range of -40°C to +180°C and can be used as a vibration-proof connector in a wide variety of harsh environments.

Working Principle

The 1217176-1 connectors use a two-stage locking mechanism which allows for both mechanical and electrical termination. The core component of this mechanism is a ferrite plunger magnet coupled with a collar. The plunger magnet is mounted on the male side of the connector and it exerts magnetic forces on the collar when the two parts of the connector are mated. The collar is connected to the female side of the connector, on which the wires are crimped. This connection is stable and not affected by vibrations or other environmental changes.

The plunger magnet enhances the connection between the wires and the contact, as it keeps them firmly pressed against each other. This ensures that the contact remains secure while allowing the wires to move freely. Additionally, the magnet helps shield the device from external magnetic interference. This helps protect the integrity of the connection and extend its life span.

In addition to providing a secure mechanical connection, 1217176-1 also provides an effective electrical connection. The contact inside the connector is designed with a special coating that prevents corrosion and oxidation, thus ensuring a low resistance electrical connection. Additionally, it features two Z-shaped contacts between the plunger and the collar that minimizes the contact resistance, and at the same time improves the vibration-proof performance and enhancing the security of the connection.

Conclusion

1217176-1 provides a secure mechanical and electrical termination, and it is suitable for applications that require a safe and reliable connection. It has a wide operating temperature range, ensuring that it can be used in different environments. Additionally, it eliminates the need for additional support devices, thus reducing time and cost. This makes it an ideal solution for a wide variety of industries.
