170365-1

The 170365-1 Multi-Purpose Contact is an electrical contact used in a variety of electrical devices. The contact is a double-ended pressure contact that supports both AC and DC current, and can be used in circuit breakers, switchgear, motor controllers, and other industrial machinery. With a broad range of diameters and styles, these contacts are designed to meet the specific requirements of the application.

The 170365-1 contact is constructed of a pair of contact surfaces, with a flexible spring material between them. This spring material provides the necessary pressure to ensure that the contact remains secured. The contact also consists of a metal shell, filled with insulation oil to protect against corrosion and electrical leakage. The contact is able to withstand a certain level of temperature before the insulation oil begins to melt or deteriorate.

The working principle of the 170365-1 contact is simple. When the contact is energized, the electrical current flowing through the contact causes a reaction between the two contact surfaces, creating a flashover arc which acts as a conductor and connects the two contact surfaces. As the current continues to flow, the pressure between the two contact surfaces increases, which strengthens the electrical connection. This increases the contact\'s current-carrying capacity, providing a reliable connection to alleviate the need for manual re-connection.

The pressure contact used in the 170365-1 contact is useful in a variety of applications, from industrial motor controllers to specialized equipment. Its double-ended design allows for connection to both AC and DC power and its insulated construction provides a high degree of protection against electrical leakage. It is able to withstand high temperatures, making it suited for use in motor controllers, switchgear, and other industrial applications. Furthermore, the contact\'s strong electric connection lowers the need for manual re-connections due to the current-carrying capacity.

The 170365-1 contact is a dependable and versatile contact used in a variety of electrical devices. With its double-ended design, insulation, and ability to withstand high temperatures, this contact is well suited for a wide range of applications, from industrial motor controllers to specialized equipment. Additionally, its strong electric connection and current-carrying capacity provide reliable connections and reduce the need for manual re-connections.
