Crimpers, Applicators, Presses - Accessories – the 2168078-1 application field and working principle

The 2168078-1 is a type of electrical connector that is commonly used for accessing data and power in high density applications. It is especially useful for those jobs which require optimized electrical performance and a reliable physical connection in high voltage or high temperature applications like high power networks, automotive and off-highway engine wiring, industrial construction, and air/spacecraft/motor vehicles.

The 2168078-1 is an insulator displacement connector (IDC) which utilizes “cold” connecting technology, where the wire is inserted into the connector and a cold joining device performs electrical connection. This eliminates the need for soldering, which can take longer and can potentially cause damage to the wires. It also ensures a solid connection since the wires are held securely in the connector. The 2168078-1 can accommodate a variety of wire sizes from AWG size 6-30.

The 2168078-1 also boasts a unique self-adjusting latching mechanism that ensures positive retention and reliable performance under vibration. This mechanism features positive hermaphroditic contacts which eliminate pin-to-socket misconnections, while also providing a reliable electrical connection. The one-piece construction also allows for repeatability and easier maintenance. The 2168078-1 is also sealed against liquids, powders, and dust, so it is ideal for harsh environment applications like automotive manufacturing, mining industry, and extreme sports.

The 2168078-1 features a quick one-step crimping process. The wire insulation is first stripped off from the wire ends. The connector housing is installed over the wire, and the wire is then crimped onto the contact using a hand-held crimping tool. The tool’s crimping head is inserted into the connector and actuates a pin inside the connector which creates an electrical connection between the contact and the wire. This process is much faster than soldering and ensures a reliable, low-impedance connection.

The 2168078-1 is generally used in high-density, high-voltage, or high-temperature applications where reliability and consistency of the electrical connection is critical. It is also suitable for outdoor applications where the connector is shielded against weather and other environmental elements. It is an ideal choice for jobs that require fast, reliable connection in a variety of situations. The 2168078-1 is also versatile enough to be adapted to different wire sizes, different applications, and different environments.
