180396-2 Spade Connectors Overview

Spade connectors are commonly used electronic components to join wire conductors in electrical circuits. The 180396-2 connectors, also known as "flag crimp" connectors, fall into the spade connector category.

What is the 180396-2 Connector?

The 180396-2 connectors are spade QuickConnect 12-16 AWG terminal connectors made from tin-plated brass for superior corrosion resistance. Its unique design features an open-barrel crimp construction that does not require a tool to make the connection. These connectors come in two parts, a male and female connector, and are designed for use with a variety of low-voltage wiring applications, including automotive and consumer applications.

Spade Connector Components

The 180396-2 connectors consist of a circular barrel-shaped crimp-and-clip portion and a two-piece wire-insulated body. Each connector includes a brass exterior housing and an internal insulation stop, which protects the wire from electrical shorts. Both parts of the connector have a transfer area to ensure a tight fit at the point of connection. When properly assembled, the inner insulation stop prevents electrical shorts and the crimp-and-clip portion keeps the connection securely in place.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 180396-2 connectors are mainly used in automotive applications, such as fuel pumps, airbags, and transmission components, as well as in consumer electronics, including audio components. These components are designed to meet the stringent environmental requirements of automobile and consumer electronics applications.The working principle of the 180396-2 connectors is fairly simple. First, the wire conductor is inserted into the barrel-shaped crimp-and-clip portion of the connector. Then, the two-piece wire-insulated body is inserted into the barrel. Finally, the crimp-and-clip portion of the connector is securely crimped in place, which ensures a tight fit at the point of connection.In addition to providing electrical conductivity, the crimp-and-clip portion of the connector helps to keep the connection secure by providing a tight seal for the wire conductor to ensure current is not lost in the event of vibration or other disturbances. It also helps to protect the wire conductor from environmental hazards, such as water, dust, and corrosion.

Benefits of the 180396-2 Connector

The 180396-2 connector is a reliable and cost-effective solution to reduce wiring time and complexity, as it only requires a single tool for installation. The open-barrel crimp connections provide a secure fit and superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity and reliable performance in harsh environments. In addition, the connectors are designed for easy installation, which reduces labor costs and maintenance time. The 180396-2 connectors are UL-rated for 600V, and UL94V-0 flammability rated, meaning they provide superior flame resistance and reduce the risk of fire in the event of an electrical short. Additionally, the connectors are designed to meet a variety of automotive and consumer electronics standards, including SAE-Jl600 and SAE-Jl616, making them an ideal choice for a variety of applications. In conclusion, the 180396-2 connector provides reliable connections, superior corrosion resistance, and flame resistance for automotive and consumer electronics applications. Its simple, one-tool installation design not only reduces wiring time and complexity, but eliminates the need for additional components, resulting in cost savings. With its superior design and reliable performance, the 180396-2 connector is an ideal choice for a wide variety of automotive and consumer electronics applications.
