Application Field

173974-1 Terminals - Housings, Boots are ideal for high current applications in automotive and industrial control systems. The terminals are commonly used for current densities of up to 30 A/mm² in a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and 350°C in short time. Housings and Boots made of polyester are UL 94-V2 and self-extinguishing.

As an essential electric component in the circuit, 173974-1 Terminals - Housings, Boots are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, consumer electronics, and more. In automotive wiring systems, it is mainly used for wire connection and harnessing of electronic control units.

Working Principle

173974-1 Terminals - Housings, Boots connect the wire and the circuit board through the pins. The pins are electrically connected to the connector, which is then connected to the device circuit board, completed the circuit and signal transmission. There are a variety of threading options including round or hex head screws and hex nuts, and many insulation and contact options.

The tightness of the terminals is determined by the size of the contact force. When two metal surfaces are pressed together, electrons flow from one metal to the other due to intrinsic electrical contact force. The pressing force of the terminal coupling is responsible for ensuring the connection between the two metals and thus the electrical continuity of the connection.

Conclusion

173974-1 Terminals - Housings, Boots provides reliable and secure connections in many applications, especially in the automotive, aerospace, marine and consumer electronics. Its pins are electrically connected to the connector, then connected to the device circuit board to complete the circuit and signal transmission. Its tightness is determined by the size of the contact force. More importantly, the Housings and Boots are IP67 rated for dust and moisture protection.
