2-321499-1

Rectangular connectors are terminals that are designed to join two separate circuits, often within a device or piece of electronics. 2-321499-1 connectors, also called solder cup terminals, are a type of these rectangular connectors used in a number of applications, from commercial and industrial to automotive and electronic. In this article, we discuss the application fields and working principle of 2-321499-1 terminals.

Application Fields

2-321499-1 terminals are used in various applications, such as:

• Automotive Electronics – They are used in car headlights, horn, and security systems.
• Industrial – They are used in industrial control systems.
• Electronics – They are used in consumer electronics, computers, and telecommunications.
• Sensors – They are used in health monitoring, environmental monitoring, and other sensor applications.

Working Principle

2-321499-1 terminals are designed for terminating wires. The terminating process involves the insertion of stranded, solid or flexible wires into the terminal and then soldering the exposed wire strands to the contact. This process is done with a soldering iron or torch.The contacts used in the 2-321499-1 terminals are designed with a “solder cup” shape. The solder cup is a hollow cup with an opening in the top. This opening is designed to hold a small amount of solder. When the stranded or solid wire is inserted into the contact and heat is applied, the exposed wire strands “tin” the cup. This tinning allows for a secure electrical connection between the wire and contact. The 2-321499-1 terminals are designed to meet specific requirements for current, voltage and temperature levels. The current capacity of these terminals is dependent on the contact material and the size of the terminal. The contacts can handle up to 11A depending on the size and material. The voltage ratings range from 150V to 1000V depending on the size and material as well.

Conclusion

2-321499-1 terminals are a type of rectangular connector used in a variety of applications. These terminals are designed to terminate wires to the contact and provide a secure connection. They have a wide range of current capacity and voltage ratings, and are designed to meet specific requirements for current, voltage and temperature levels.
