3418-0001T

3418-0001T connectors are a type of board-to-wire rectangular connector designed for use in signal transmission applications. They offer a cost-effective and space-saving solution for connecting point-to-point circuits, where single-wire pairs need to be connected securely in a commercial environment. These connectors are commonly used in a variety of electronic equipment, from telecommunications devices to industrial automation systems.

3418-0001T connectors are available in various sizes and shapes to fit a variety of application needs. For example, they can be board-in or direct-wire-to-board configurations, depending on the requirements of the application. These connectors can be mounted on a board without soldering, which makes installation and maintenance easier. They also come with a mating latch or optional locking mechanism for added security.

In terms of their working principle, 3418-0001T connectors feature a two-piece construction consisting of a male half and a female half. The male half contains a pair of pins called “terminal contacts”, while the female half features a pair of receptacles called “socket contacts”. When the two halves are brought together, the terminal contacts of the male half mate with the socket contacts of the female half, creating an electrical connection. The connection is secured by a latching mechanism or optional locking mechanism, ensuring that the connection is secure. This type of connector is also designed with a termination shroud that helps to protect against environmental contamination and accidental separation.

The 3418-0001T connector is a dependable and reliable connection system that can provide secure and cost-effective communication between components in commercial and industrial applications. They are designed to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, making them suitable for use even in the harshest of industrial settings. By virtue of their robust and reliable design, 3418-0001T connectors are the perfect choice for a variety of applications, from industrial automation to consumer products.
