2439-8

Banana and Tip Connectors - Binding Posts

The 2439-8 application field and working principle is an important element of Banana and Tip Connectors - Binding Posts. It is a two-piece external receptacle connector with its contact points aligned for parallel connection of electrical wires. The 2439-8 has two parts that are connected to each other with a threaded assembly fastener. It consists of an insulator that is fabricated from a polypropylene (PP) polymer and a contact insert comprising of a stainless steel body, a brass spring, and a steel tab.

Application Field

The 2439-8 is commonly used in industrial control systems, laboratory equipment, data acquisition systems, and various other measuring instruments. For industrial applications, the 2439-8 is usually found in electric drive systems and components requiring relatively low contact pressures for the connection of wires. The 2439-8 is also used as part of the connections for frequency inverters, stepper motors, DC motors, servo drives, IGBT blocks, and signal lines. It is also known for its ability to offer reliable performance in various environments including those exposed to solvents, harsh chemicals, water, and extreme temperatures.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 2439-8 involves the insertion of a round conductor into the contact points of the 2439-8 connectors. The conductor is held in place by the thumb tabs of the contact inserts and slightly extends out from the back of the insert. A small point guard on the contact insert keeps the wire or fiber optic cables from touching the exposed parts of the conductor and ensuring a secure connection. As torque is applied to the fastener assembly, the brass spring compresses between the contact points, resulting in a strong current flow through the conductor.

Advantages

The 2439-8 provides many advantages over other types of connectors. First, the 2439-8 is easily assembled onto standard plastic housing parts, making it easily integrated into any existing wiring system. Furthermore, the 2439-8 is highly resistant to electrical shorts, and consistent performance regardless of environmental conditions. It also offers the convenience of secure connections, reducing the need for complicated wiring, that allows for an easy signal transfer.

Conclusion

The 2439-8 is an important part of Banana and Tip Connectors - Binding Posts. It is a highly reliable and efficient connector for industrial applications, laboratory equipment, and measuring instruments. It offers a secure connection, reducing the need for complicated wiring and allowing for an easy signal transfer. The 2439-8 offers many advantages over other types of connectors, making it the preferred choice for most applications.
