1731120164

The 1731120164 connector is a type of D-shaped contact used in a variety of D-subminiature connectors. These contacts are typically found in computer, audio/video, and telecoms applications, but can also be found in other fields such as automotive and military.

1731120164 contacts come in three main varieties: standard, high-reliability, and extra-high-reliability. Standard contacts are usually the most economical choice, while high-reliability use thicker gauge wire and more resilient beryllium copper construction, and extra-high-reliability contacts completely encapsulate the contact in organic resin for added protection and wear resistance. These contacts are available in a variety of sizes, from 8AWG through to 1.6mm, letting customers choose the right size for their application.

The working principle of 1731120164 contacts is fairly simple. The contact is constructed from a pin or socket that contacts a corresponding pin or socket on the mating connector. The contact force providing the connection is provided by four latching claws that wrap around the pin or socket, providing a mechanical connection between the contact and socket. The contact is also sealed with a rubberized seal to reduce the possibility of ingress of debris and moisture.

As the connection is made and the four latching claws wrap around the pins or sockets, the contacts provide electrical continuity. This is done by using layers of insulation between the contacts and ground or voltage potentials, so that the electrical current is only allowed to flow through the contact when pressure is applied. This allows for a reliable connection with no undue voltage or current leakage.

1731120164 contacts feature two primary advantages over other D-shaped contacts. First, they lock in position when in use and do not need to be frequently replaced due to wear and tear. Second, because they are sealed with a rubberized seal, they are highly resistant to ingress of water and debris, making them suitable for use in harsh environments such as Marine and Off-Shore applications.

In conclusion, the 1731120164 connector is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, and can provide reliable connection in hostile environments with no risk of current or voltage leakage. With the ability to choose from various wire gauges and contact materials, these contacts are designed to fit almost any application.
