3-1108756-1 Connectors, Interconnects

Heavy-duty connectors make possible the safe and reliable passage of current and data to and from heavy machinery and equipment, making them essential to daily operations in the manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and industrial sectors. Contact models 3-1108756-1 are integral components of most heavy-duty connector systems and provide the required continuity of electrical flow between two or more conductors.

Application Field

3-1108756-1 contacts are commonly used as part of the terminals in electrical connectors that offer multiple point connections (both axially and radially) with their EMI, RFI, and ESD protection capabilities. So they can find wide application in heavy duty machine and equipment systems that need to transfer high levels of energy and current.The contact model number 3-1108756-1 is suitable for any situation where a reliable electrical connection needs to be ensured. Some typical applications are in electrical power and grounding systems, wiring systems, automotive equipment, shipbuilding, railway networks, satellite communications, and medical instrumentation.

Working Principle

The contact 3-1108756-1 is primarily designed to provide reliable constant contact with both axially and radially connected male contacts. It consists of an extended lead or wire that connects to the male contact and a body that holds the lead in place. The body is shaped to securely secure the lead into it and can contain insulation material to prevent electrical shorts. The contact can also contain a variety of features such as contact probes, locking jaws, and chambers to capture any wires being inserted. This ensures that each connection remains secure and provides a reliable electrical contact.When the 3-1108756-1 contact is in place with its lead securely attached, a voltage is simultaneously applied to the lead, causing it to heat up and expand which ensures firm and reliable contact with the male contact. This reliable contact helps to reduce any current leakage or resistance, preventing damage to the equipment.

Conclusion

Contact model 3-1108756-1 from heavy-duty connectors is suitable for a variety of electrical applications including power and grounding systems, wiring systems, automotive equipment, shipbuilding, and other industrial environments. As a point-to-point connection, it provides a reliable passage of energy and current between two or more conductors and is protected from electrical shorts, EMI, RFI, and ESD. The contact 3-1108756-1 ensures a secure and firm contact with its lead and body both axially and radially connected to the male contact, and the heat from the voltage applied helps to also expand the lead and provide even better contact.
