Blade Type Power Connectors

Blade type power connectors are often used in a wide variety of applications when a secure connection is needed to provide power. They are particularly useful for situations when equipment is frequently handled, such as in factories, machine shops and on construction sites. The 1318790–1 Power Connector is a mechanical connection system designed for high current applications up to 50 amps.

Application Field

The 1318790-1 Power Connector is a two-pole, three-wire system composed of a pivoting blade connector, a housing, and a strain-relief cover. The housing has two sections, the “hot” side and the “cold” side, each with two durable metal contacts to provide reliable electrical power up to 50 amps. The cover prevents dirt, dust, and moisture from entering the housing and damaging the contacts. The blade connector is the device that actually engages in the power connection. Its graduated teeth ensure the connection is firmly secured.

Working Principle

The 1318790-1 Power Connector uses blades to make a secure connection. The blades have a graduated design to ensure a secure connection. As the blades are inserted into the housing, they slide over the contacts and a pin in the housing locks the blades in place. The blade connector is connected to the power source, while the housing is connected to the equipment. When the blades are fully inserted, they contact both the power source and the equipment and a secure connection is made.

The strain relief cover provides added control to the connection. It prevents dirt, dust and moisture from entering the housing and damaging the contacts. It also provides strain relief to protect the contacts from damage due to physical stress or accidental pulls. When the blades are fully inserted into the housing, the cover is locked in place.

The 1318790-1 Power Connector is designed to provide a secure, reliable connection for commercial and industrial applications requiring up to 50 amps. Its two-pole, three-wire system ensures reliable power delivery while the strain relief cover prevents dirt, dust, and moisture from entering the housing. It is a safe and reliable solution for any application requiring a secure connection to provide power.
