1409200000 Datasheet/PDFHeavy Duty Connectors - Inserts, Modules
1409200000 application field and working principle are important to consider when choosing a heavy duty connector. An important factor when selecting a heavy duty connector is the ability for it to withstand harsh environments. The use of connectors in harsh environments such as construction sites, agricultural settings, and industrial equipment requires the connector to withstand continual vibration, shock, moisture, dust, dirt, chemicals, and changes in temperature.
1409200000 application field and working principle of heavy duty connectors can be broken into two separate categories : insert and module connectors. Insert connectors, also known as \'one piece\' connectors, are rectangular in shape with one or more pins. They are designed to fit into a pre-drilled hole in order to make electrical contact with the surrounding wiring. The pins can be arranged in many different configurations, depending on the application. Module connectors are more complex than insert connectors. They consist of two or more pieces, each containing one or more paris of pins. This allows for higher density electrical connection points.
Heavy duty connectors typically feature metal or plastic casing, in order to protect the contacts from the environment. The material of the casing is important to consider, as softer materials such as plastic can wear down more quickly when exposed to the elements or vibration. Metal casings are usually preferred in high vibration applications.
The pins within a heavy duty connector are typically made from copper or brass. Both of these materials are highly corrosion resistant and provide a strong electrical connection. The pins themselves typically have a high tensile strength, which allows them to hold up against constant vibration and heavy wear conditions. Additionally, some connectors may have built in short circuit protection.
The contact points of a heavy duty connector are usually plated in order to ensure a stable electrical connection. Different platings are available, including gold and silver, however, gold is typically preferred due to its excellent corrosion resistance and its ability to provide a secure connection with minimal contact resistance. Silver platings are generally more resistant to oxidation, however gold platings tend to last much longer when exposed to the environment.
In order to ensure a secure connection, the pins of a heavy duty connector must be tightened with the appropriate type of wrench. It is important to ensure that the wrench fits snugly over the pins in order to ensure that the connection won’t loosen over time. Additionally, some heavy duty connectors may require the use of a specialized hex key to properly tighten the pins.
When choosing a heavy duty connector, it is important to consider the application field and working principle. The material of the casing and the plating of the pins should also be taken into consideration, in order to ensure that the connector will be able to withstand the conditions of the environment. The type of wrench required for installation is also important, as it will affect the ease of installation, as well as the security of the connection.
