The 2-32446-1 terminal, also known as a knife connector, is an electrical connector found in various applications in the form of plugs and sockets. This terminal is used to capture a conductor by direct contact between a blade contact and a conductor. High-current applications in the automotive and industrial industries, as well as low-current consumer electronics, frequently utilize this type of connection.The main body of the terminal, or socket, is constructed from a die-cast metal alloy that is resistant to corrosion and wear. This material choice ensures that a secure connection can be made between the conducting blade and the conductor. Additionally, the design of the blade and socket provide an audible click when a successful connection is made, allowing for confident operation of the terminal.For applications requiring a more secure connection, the 2-32446-1 terminal provides the ability to use a screw lock retainer. This screw tightens the locking nut on the terminal ensuring the conductor will not inadvertently come loose and the connection will remain secure. Additionally, the use of the screw-lock retainer will ensure that the blade can not be overpowered or vibrate loose. The design of the terminals also allows for the digitizing of the connection, providing further security and ease of use.Normally, the 2-32446-1 terminal is used when a high reliability connection between a conductive blade contactor and a conductor is necessary. These connections are typically used in automotive and industrial applications where a secure connection and large number of cycles of operations may be required. Alternately, they can be used in low-current consumer electronics applications such as those found in some control systems.The standard working principle of the 2-32446-1 terminal is quite simple. A blade contactor is inserted into the body of the socket. The blade contactor is then forced upwards through a piercing spring, resulting in it entering the conductor. When the conductor is placed inside the terminal, the blade contactor and the conductor should form a secure connection with a loud click. The same principle applies for using the optional screw lock retainer. Once the retainer is secured, the blade contactor will not be able to be dislodged. The 2-32446-1 terminal is designed to be used in a wide range of applications, making it a very versatile and reliable connection. This use makes ideal for applications involving use of a conducting blade contactor and conductor including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. The flexibility of using either a piercing spring or a screw lock retainer coupled with the different available terminations makes this terminal a reliable option for use in any situation that requires a secure, yet reliable connection. With options for digitizing the connection, the 2-32446-1 terminal is the ideal choice for connecting conductors and uniform contactors.
