1614-3

Terminals - PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors

1614-3 is a terminal connector designed for discrete wire to board interconnections. It has a 3-piece interlocking construction and is available in standard and vertical styles. It is an ideal connector for applications requiring secure, durable connection, especially in harsh environments. The standard style has 1.3mm area contacts and comes in four series – Series 61, Series 70, Series 85 and Series 90 – each with a different current rating.

The 1614-3 connector is available in both female and male versions, each with different features and performance levels. The female version has a profile with a 0.5mm to 2.5 mm contact pitch while the male version has a profile with a 2.5 mm to 4.2 mm contact pitch. The basic construction consists of a male contact, a female contact and a plastic housing. Both versions are designed for manual and automatic assembly. They are compatible with both male pin and female socket type materials and come with a variety of termination options.

The 1614-3 connector is designed for board-to-board or single-wire connections, and is commonly used in a wide array of industrial applications. These include automotive, aerospace, power generation, and many other commercial applications. It is especially attractive for applications requiring a large number of contacts with a tight centerline, such as those found on circuit boards. It is also very suitable for flat chassis wiring applications where high packing density is a requirement. The stainless steel bodies provide corrosion resistance and the connector is UL94V-0 approved for increased reliability.

The primary working principle of 1614-3 connectors is simple. When used in board-to-board or single-wire connections, the contact surfaces of the female and male parts are brought together and the connection is made using either a manual or an automated manufacturing process. The two parts should fit firmly together with no gaps or other defects and the contact surfaces should have a suitable level of protection against corrosion. The male contacts are designed to fit into the female contacts. As the mating takes place, the contact surfaces should remain in contact at all times.

In order to ensure reliable connection between the male and female contacts, a number of requirements must be met. First, the contact surfaces of both parts should be clean and free of dirt or any other foreign material. Second, the contacts should not be excessively bent. Third, the contact surfaces should be free of rough edges, burrs or other defects. Finally, the contacts should be sufficiently tensioned in order to ensure a reliable connection.

The 1614-3 connector is a popular choice for a wide array of applications, thanks to its reliability, durability, flexibility, and high density. It is a cost-effective terminal solution for applications that require a secure and reliable connection in harsh environments, while still providing a high level of reliability and performance.
