142710-5

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 142710-5 is a rectangular connector - housing type of product. It is a two-part removable connector that consists of a one-piece connector and a two-piece insulator. The connector has a straight profile with a 70°C angle of entry and is available in both solder or crimp termination. It is suggested to be used for current connection and offers superior grounding contact to the module body.

Application Field

The 142710-5 connector features a unique locking system that makes it suitable for applications requiring vibration and shock resistance. It is also suitable for use in products that require a secured, long-term connection. It is ideal for connecting power circuits, signal circuits, control circuits, or data circuits in commercial, industrial, or military products.

Working Principle

The 142710-5 connector features a unique locking system that allows for rapid and secure assembly. It is designed with a square pin plug that is inserted into the mating connector housing when pushed in the contact side. The plug is held in place by a cam-locks secured in the housing. The inner contact assembly in the housing comprises two pairs of latching ears that provide a secure electrical and mechanical connection between the pin and socket.

The locking mechanism also ensures that the connection remains secure over time and during the vibration and shock events associated with various industrial applications. The contacts are made with a copper alloy, specifically tin-plated copper, which provides a corrosion proof and reliable connection. The contacts are also designed to withstand up to 8 Amp of current.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 142710-5 connector is an ideal solution for heavy-duty, industrial applications where shock and vibration resistance is a must. Thanks to its unique locking system, a secure connection is guaranteed over time. The connector also offers superior grounding contact to the module body and is capable of carrying up to 8 Amps of current. This makes the 142710-5 an excellent choice for many industrial applications.
