1648173 Connectors, Interconnects

Heavy duty connectors provide a place to connect numerous wires and are often used in industrial and high temperature settings. The 1648173 heavy duty connector is a type of industrial connector designed for use in environments where extreme temperatures, strong forces or harsh chemicals are present. It is capable of handling a variety of power and control signals.

Application Field

The 1648173 heavy duty connector is primarily used in applications that require a reliable electrical connection in harsh environment. These connectors are highly useful in industrial settings; they can be used for data transfer, power distribution, control signals or any other electrical stimulation. They are designed for long-term performance, as they are resistant to corrosion, vibration and extreme temperatures.

Working Principle

The primary design of the 1648173 heavy duty connector is “twinax” technology. This allows for two wires to be connected with a single clip or contact. The twinax technology uses two concentric cables that each contain an insulated wire. The wires are then threaded through a contact block and secured with a flat spring or a crimp. The two wires are then encapsulated in a hydrophobic material to prevent corrosion and damage.

The 1648173 heavy duty connector is also designed to deliver long life and superior performance. It is equipped with a high temperature rated contact body that prevents heat from damaging the contact material. The contacts are gold plated, which further ensures against corrosion. The 1648173 connector also has a water-proof housing, making it suitable for use in wet or damp areas.

The 1648173 heavy duty connector can be used in many different types of wiring systems, such as direct buried conduits, direct mounted systems and underground utility boxes. It is also commonly used in electrical systems, such as lighting and instrumentation, and automotive and industrial machinery applications.
