185454-1

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins utilize a wide variety of both standard and specialized connectors. The 185454-1 connector is a 2-pin vertical ductile-shell header pin that is designed for quick disconnect applications, such as those found on respirators, chiller systems, and medical equipment.

The 185454-1 pin features integral strain relief that helps to ensure a secure electrical connection in the presence of vibration or physical contact. The standard pin specification features two female terminals and two male terminals, each with gold-plated contacts and a stainless steel shell. The pin can be purchased with either a 3-way or 4-way connection option.

The 185454-1 application field is a wide range of industrial, medical, and consumer-oriented applications, including: welding, soldering, and brazing operations; handheld medical devices; respirators; water-cooled medical systems; and many more. The pin’s robust design also makes it suitable for applications that may experience high levels of shock and vibration, such as electric saws, grinders, and other power tools.

The working principle of the 185454-1 connector is fairly straightforward. The terminals on the pin provide an electrical connection between the device and the external power source. The two female terminals connect to the power source, while the two male terminals connect to the device. When the two terminals are correctly mated, electricity flows from the power source to the device.

The 185454-1 connector is also designed for easy connection and disconnection. The terminals are held in place by a latch that presses against the mating surface. This latch can be easily opened with a screwdriver, allowing the pin to be quickly disconnected from the power source. Similarly, the terminals can be quickly reconnected by simply pushing the latch back into place.

The 185454-1 connector is an ideal solution for applications that require a quick disconnect between the device and the power source. The dual-terminal and gold-plated contacts provide a secure connection even in the presence of vibration or physical contact. The robust design ensures that the pin will function properly throughout its life, and the quick-disconnect feature makes it easy to maintain and repair.
