1740418-1

Terminals - Magnetic Wire Connectors are widely used to quickly and easily connect wires to devices. The 1740418-1 Magnetic Wire Connector is a type of terminal that provides enhanced electrical contact, extended durability, improved system safety, and easy installation.

Application Field

The 1740418-1 Magnetic Wire Connector is designed for residential and commerical power distribution systems. It provides reliable and safe termination for mains voltage conduit wiring and for connecting branch circuit wiring. It is applicable for many residential appliations, including ceiling, floor, wall, and industrial fan heating and ventilating systems. Additionally, the 1740418-1 is suitable for heavy-duty outdoor and hazardous location circuit requirements.

The 1740418-1 is also suitable for commerical applications, such as automotive repairs, retail stores, hotels, construction sites, factories, and office buildings. The connector is suitable for any terminal position and it has several mounting orientations which make it easy to install in snug or otherwise challenging positions. With a high-temperature insulation material, the 1740418-1 is also suitable for extreme cold or hot weather conditions.

Working Principle

The 1740418-1 Magnetic Wire Connector works through the principle of magnetic attraction. At the base of the connector is a magnet, which draws in the cable and holds it firmly in place with a secure grip. In addition, the magnetic material is engineered to provide optimal electrical conductivity and corrosion prevention.

Unlike standard wire connectors, the 1740418-1 uses magnetic attraction instead of manual force. This means that the connection is held securely at all times, without the need for additional reinforcing supports. To ensure an even tighter connection, the magnet is surrounded by a protective spring clip, which operates as an additional barrier against motion and vibration.

The 1740418-1 also offers superior electrical contact, which provides superior connection reliability, less external resistance, and higher safety. To ensure the highest accuracy, the contacts are tested to withstand up to 14,000 pounds of pull force.

In order to maintain optimal performance, the 1740418-1 includes a patented self-adhesive surface, which helps to keep the connector in place for longer. The adhesive also helps to reduce vibration, shock, and cable damage. Finally, the connector is available in a variety of sizes and terminations, allowing for a custom fit for any application.
