Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors

170258-2 is a kind of quick connect/disconnect connector which can mate a variety of terminals, including male and female components. The quick connect/disconnect connector is suitable for many electrical equipment and components to ensure electrical connection.

Application Field

The 170258-2 quick connect/disconnect connector can be used in numerous applications such as industrial, automotive and power supplie. The most common application is in the automotive industries, where the 170258-2 is used in wiring, instrumentation, gauges and signal assemblies. In addition, this connector is used in industrial environments which require greater security against harsh elements. It can also be used in power supplies for hight voltage applications such as rapid prototyping and medical equipment.

Working Principle

The 170258-2 quick connect/disconnect connector is based on a two-shell metal housing design with insulation in between two shells. Inside the housing, the electrical connection contact is held in place using a double-locking system. The double locking system is designed to securely hold the contact system into the housing and to increase reliability and stability. In addition, the double-locking system makes it possible to join the assemblies without any tools. The two-shell metal housing ensures better protection against dust, moisture, corrosion and vibration.

When the two connector assemblies are coupled together, the contact system is squeezed together, making an electrical connection. This makes sure that the two electrical circuits are securely connected. This connection is further secured by the double-locking system. The contact terminals are also tightly sealed from external environment, making it water tight and dust resistant.

The 170258-2 quick connect/disconnect connector is an ideal solution for many industrial that need a secure and reliable connection. The two-shell metal housing design ensures maximum protection from dust and moisture. In addition, the quick connects and disconnects connector make it easy to join and unjoin the two connector assemblies without the need of any tools. It is also suitable for industrial wires and cables that require high voltage connection.
