3341-6 Working Principle

The working principle of the 3341-6 range of rectangular connectors is fairly straightforward. The two main components of the connector are the plastic housing and the contacts. The contacts are secured inside the plastic housing using crimp connectors. The contacts then need to be pushed into the plastic housing and locked into place by the additional locking feature of the 3341-6.

To ensure a reliable connection, the contacts should be firmly pressed into the plastic housing. This will ensure optimal contact and signal transfer between the two metal components. Once the contacts are pressed into the plastic housing, the cover can then be snapped shut to ensure a secure connection. The cables can then be attached to the female end of the connector using a crimp connector.

The 3341-6 range of connectors offers reliable and secure mechanical and electrical connections for a variety of applications, thanks to its simple yet effective design. It is lightweight and offers excellent durability and reliability.
