1604060-3

Blade type power connectors are one of the most common types of electrical connectors. They are used to provide a means of interconnecting two devices, such as an electrical appliance and its power source. In some cases, blade type power connectors are used to provide a watertight seal between the two components. There are several types and styles of blade type power connectors, including the 1604060-3, which offers a range of features and advantages that make it ideal for many types of applications.

The 1604060-3 is a two-pole assembly, with each pole having a contact blade surrounded by a retention ring. It is designed to be compatible with many common power connections, such as those found on power strips or surge protectors. One of the primary advantages of this design is the low profile, which allows for simpler mounting and unobtrusive wiring. Additionally, the retention rings provide extra grip, ensuring a secure fit in a variety of environment.

The 1604060-3 can be used in a variety of applications, including industrial machinery, medical equipment, and consumer electronics. It is also well-suited for applications requiring vibration and EMI resistance, as the design provides superior shielding. It is resistant to corrosion, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor use. The pins are rated for up to 15amp current, which makes it suitable for higher current loads. Additionally, the standard connector is also available with different pin configurations and retention rings, allowing for greater flexibility in the design.

The 1604060-3 is based on a simple, yet effective design principle. The pins are arranged in a square formation, with the outer pins slightly offset from the center pins. This offset helps to keep the connection secure, reducing the chances of accidental disconnection. The contacts are also recessed into the connectors, helping to shield them from EMI and dust. The contact blades are slightly angled, allowing them to easily slide into the mating connector. Additionally, the retention rings help to ensure a secure connection, preventing the connector from being disconnected.

The 1604060-3 is a reliable and durable connector, making it a great choice for a wide variety of applications. It offers a secure, low-profile, shielded connection, and is fault tolerant and resistant to shock and vibration. Additionally, the design is highly cost effective, making it ideal for high-volume industrial and consumer applications. With its wide range of features and advantages, the 1604060-3 is an ideal choice for many types of connections.
