164155-6

164155-6 Multi-Purpose Contacts are specialized electrical connectors designed for specific applications in both commercial and military industries. They provide superior performance in harsh environments, have very high temperature operating ranges, and can handle long term electrical insulation and shock protection. To effectively make use of this type of contact, an understanding of their application field and working principle is necessary.

Application Field

164155-6 Multi-Purpose Contacts can be used in numerous areas where high electrical requirements and extreme environmental conditions are needed. These contacts are especially suited for applications such as military avionics, aerospace, telecommunications, marine and heavy industrial equipment.

These contacts are also suitable for applications requiring the highest levels of thermal performance and environmental resistance – such as in extreme cold or hot temperatures or where high vibration or electromagnetic interference is present. This makes them ideal for use in avionics, optical communications and industrial applications.

In terms of their physical form, 164155-6 Multi-Purpose Contacts are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them suitable for use in many different types of electrical and electronic systems.

Working Principle

As with most electrical connectors, the fundamental purpose of 164155-6 Multi-Purpose Contacts is to provide a reliable and cost effective means of transferring current or signals between two or more points. This is achieved by having metal pins or blades that provide electrical pathways between contacts and metal shields that protect these pathways from outside interference. When necessary, the contacts can be sealed against moisture or dust.

The contacts are designed to offer superior performance, even in the most demanding environments. They are built with multiple metal layers to reduce electrical resistance, while their insulation and shock protection layer helps to ensure maximum insulation without any degradation of performance.

164155-6 Multi-Purpose Contacts are intended to be used where temperatures reach extremes. To this end, they are designed to have low temperature coefficients, ensuring superior performance under varying temperatures. In addition, they are designed with enhanced corrosion resistance to protect against environmental breakdown.
