176986-6 Connectors, Interconnects

176986-6 is a particular type of terminal housing, or “boot”, which is used to house electrical cables or wires. Boots are used to shield the wires or cables from any potential environmental hazards, as well as protecting the user from any potential electrical shocks. Boots feature a range of protective mechanical components such as terminal pins, bushings and lugs. 176986-6 boots offer extra protection against dust, dirt and water, while also providing a wide range of features and applications.

The 176986-6 terminal housing has several key features. These include the construction of the housing which is typically made from ninety two (92) percent polyamide and eight (8) percent glass fiber. This combination gives the 176986-6 an excellent resistance to heat, abrasion and overall wear. The overall shape of the 176986-6 boot is also important in protecting the user and equipment from electric shock. Otherwise known as “RIP Protection”, this adds an extra layer of safety.

The 176986-6 also boasts a “Do Not Bent” feature. This feature prevents users from inadvertently bending wires or cables housed within the 176986-6, ensuring that all connections have the same overall integrity even after being mishandled. This feature is especially beneficial in automotive applications involving low voltage requirements.

In addition, the 176986-6 offers a two-step compression shield which is designed to protect the user from electric shock, preventing high energy short circuits and other electrical hazards. This compression shield can be installed in seconds and is designed to provide a secure, dust and water proof seal around all components of the 176986-6 deployed in the field.

The 176986-6 also includes two other key features which improve its functionality and safety. These are a rear held locking system which prevents misuse and tampering of the connection, as well as a RoHS compliant screwdriver tightening system.

In terms of application, the 176986-6 is most commonly used in automotive and domestic applications. The 176986-6 is used to create connections between items such as vehicle power units, as well as in domestic electrical appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. This type of boot is also commonly used in high power commercial equipment such as vending machines and X-ray machines.

176986-6 offers a wide range of applications and features which make it an excellent choice of terminal housing or “boot”. Its combination of features and protective qualities make it a sound and reliable choice for use in a wide variety of different applications.
