Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings

Blade type power connectors are composed of two parts: a housing part and a plug part. The housing is composed of two sides and a retaining clip. The two sides may have a channel at the bottom that allows a cable to be inserted and retained against the housing. The plug may consist of several contact blades connected to wires and soldered into place. The plug is inserted into the housing by an insert-locking action (where the blades slide along the wall of the housing and eventually lock in place with a friction fit), creating an electrical connection.

Blade type power connectors are designed primarily for high temperature and vibration environments. They are commonly used for high-voltage power supplies, as well as for a variety of industrial and automotive applications. Blade type power connectors are typically used because they are able to accommodate large currents and can seal against water vapor and dust. Their design also provides a low-resistance connection.

Blade type power connectors are working are based on two principles: current flow and arc quenching. In the current flow principle, a conductive metal blade slides along the wall of the housing, allowing it to access contact points inside the housing. These contact points then provide the connection for the current. Arc quenching occurs when sufficient tension is applied to the blade while it is making contact with the housing. This increase in tension causes a decrease in current, which in turn causes the arc to dissipate.

In addition to their current and arc-quenching capabilities, blade type power connectors are also designed to be rugged and durable. They are designed to resist corrosion and damage from vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. This makes them suitable for a variety of applications in extreme environments. Additionally, blade type power connectors are designed to be accessible and easy to install and uninstall.

Blade type power connectors have been essential for many applications in the past, and continue to be an integral part of many industrial and automotive industries today. Their design and construction make them ideal for applications where a reliable connection is required in extreme conditions. Additionally, their reliable performance and durability make them the preferred choice for applications where a long-term solution is needed.
