178004-1

Application Fields

178004-1 is best used in applications where low levels of current can be used and when the volume or weight of the terminal itself is of concern. Its small design and lightweight nature make it an ideal choice for electronic devices that have a limited power supply. Additionally, 178004-1 is highly adaptable and can be used in virtually any automotive application field, as well as in a variety of industrial and consumer electronic products.

For instance, this terminal is commonly used in vehicle air-conditioning systems due to its superior current-carrying capabilities. It is also often found in telephone and computer products, as well as in power supplies, making it an extremely versatile option for a wide range of applications.

Working Principles

178004-1 works on the principle of limiting the amount of current flowing through it. Its design features a resistor that is placed at the junction of the conductor and insulator. This resistor limits the amount of current flowing through the conductor and avoids overloading the conductor by preventing too much current from flowing. The resistor also prevents the voltage from becoming too high, thus protecting the conductor from potential damage.

To help with its current-limiting capabilities, 178004-1 also has a thermally-insulated design. This feature prevents the excess heat generated by the resistor from damaging the surrounding components. Additionally, this terminal can be fitted with a variety of accessories, including terminals, caps, pigtails, and boots, making it applicable to a wide range of applications.

Finally, 178004-1\'s terminals, housings, and boots are insulated with a non-metallic material, allowing it to operate safely in adverse environmental conditions. This insulation also prevents accidental shocks and helps protect the device from damage due to contact with wet surfaces.

Conclusion

178004-1 is a versatile terminal that is well-suited for a broad range of applications. Its current-limiting design, thermally-insulated construction, and non-metallic insulation makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of automotive, industrial, and consumer electronic applications, making it an excellent option for those seeking a reliable and efficient terminal.
