160181-2 Connectors, Interconnects

160181-2 application field and working principle

Terminals - Ring Connectors are used as electrical junction containers in the electrical wire harness of a variety of machines and equipment such as automobiles, ships, and power tools. They are used to transfer electrical power and signals from one point to another, as well as provide strain relief, resisting pull and shock, vibration, and insulation. They require a certain level of insulation withstanding level, electrical current rating, as well as rapid connection and disconnection (in milliseconds) without damaging the junction.

The 160181-2 is a two-pole single-screened type ring connector that meets the requirements of the most demanding applications. Its gold-plated zinc alloy shell is highly resistant against corrosion, and the solid-pin type contact terminal is covered with a special transparent film to prevent electric arcs and breakdowns. It features an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, a rated current of up to 8A, and a rated voltage of up to 400VAC.

The structure of the 160181-2 consists of an insulated round insert with an outer metal shell and two internal conductive pins. The insert is firmly embedded in the metal shell and provides the electrical insulation and strain-relief. The contact pins are inserted from the back of the connecter and are secured by a spring-loaded plate on the front side.

When properly connected, electric current flows through the two contacts making an electrical contact. This contact forms a secured junction, providing the user with a reliable electrical connection. If the connection is disturbed, the contact\'s spring-loaded plate will open and close the current flow. This ensures safety in case of accidental disconnections.

The 160181-2 is designed with several unique features that improve its performance and make it suitable for a wide array of applications. Its snap-on connection is easy to use and ensures a secure junction every time. The double-screened metal shell also protects the contact pins and the inserted insulation material from mechanical shocks. Furthermore, the spring-loaded plate helps to maintain the current flow and safeguards against accidental disconnections.

The 160181-2 ring connectors are designed for a variety of applications, from automotive and machine wiring to industrial control systems. They are also used in audio/video systems, lighting systems, and medical equipment. These connectors are highly reliable and provide a secure electrical connection, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.
