2319-5111-TG

2319-5111-TG is a popular terminal connector, which belongs under the category of rectangular connectors - headers, male pins. This kind of connector is widely used for various industrial control applications. This article discusses the application fields and working principle of this connector.

Application Fields

The 2319-5111-TG is a reliable and robust connector that is particularly suited for industrial automation applications. It is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, as well as tough environmental conditions such as dust and water. The 2319-5111-TG is typically used in applications where connecting/disconnecting cables needs to happen frequently, such as for robotic arms. Other applications that the 2319-5111-TG can be utilized in are for transportation, factory automation, lighting, packaging, food processing, automotive, instrumentation, and many more.

Working Principle

The 2319-5111-TG connector is a two piece terminal connector, with one side having a socket and the other side having a pin. It is connected to a mating power supply when electrically connected. The 2319-5111-TG has two types of contacts, a large contact area and small contact area, and it works using spring-based mechanisms. When a conductive material is inserted into the socket the small contact area is compressed and makes contact with the pin, while the large contact area creates a larger contact area for a reliable connection. The pin side of the connector is protected by rubber rings which can prevent the connection from loosening and shorting out.

When the two parts of the 2319-5111-TG connector are mated, a tight connection is created from the contact force between the mated surfaces. When an object is inserted into the socket, the fall-away type contact prevents foreign objects from shorting out the connection. The 2319-5111-TG offers a reliable connection with performance parameters of temperature range, dielectric strength, and current-carrying capacity, all comparable to competing brands.
