170242-1 Datasheet/PDFContacts are used in many applications to provide electrical and/or mechanical engagement and disengagement of power, signals, and/or data. The 170224-1 contact is a multi-purpose contact with many uses.
Applications
The 170224-1 contact has many applications. It is used in electric circuits, where it can provide electrical continuity and/or connection. It is also used in safety circuits for signaling and sensing. It can be used as a relay contact for switching or as a switch for controlling voltages and/or currents. It is also used in mechanics, where it provides the engagement and disengagement of two parts with different surface profiles.
Construction
The 170224-1 contact is made from stainless steel for the body and brass for the contact surfaces. It is designed to be rugged, durable, and long-lasting. It has an overlapped construction with a contact gap between the two contact surfaces. The contact gap is adjustable and allows the contact to open and close with varying amounts of pressure. The contact surfaces can be either NO/NC or a combination of the two. The contact has a variety of mounting options to fit into any application.
Working Principle
The 170224-1 contact works in a simple open/close principle. When an external force is applied to the contact’s contact gap, it opens the gap and creates an electrical or mechanical disconnection. When the force is removed, the contact closes and creates an electrical or mechanical connection. The contact gap is adjustable and can be adjusted to the required opening and closing force for a particular application.
Conclusion
The 170224-1 contact is a versatile, multi-purpose contact used in a variety of applications. It can be used to provide electrical or mechanical engagement and disengagement. Its adjustable contact gap allows it to be used in many applications and it is constructed from durable materials for long-term use and reliability.
