346100-2 Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

The 346100-2 terminal is a type of ring connector that is designed to provide reliable electrical interconnections between two or more wires in a wide range of environments. It is used in industrial automation, automotive, and medical applications, as well as consumer electronics and appliances. The robust characteristics of the 346100-2 terminal offer enhanced application flexibility, allowing the use of this connector for applications with severe vibration, impact, and temperature considerations.

Design and Construction Details

The 346100-2 terminal has a compact design that allows it to be easily incorporated into a variety of applications. The connector is comprised of a dielectric body, contact blades, a release tab, and retention flange. The body of the connector is made of a durable thermoplastic material that is resistant to chemical break down and UV radiation. This material also provides high levels of electrical insulation and dielectric strength ensuring reliable electrical performance in all operating conditions. The contact blades of the connector are constructed from copper alloyed with tin and passivated for improved surface protection. The contact blades are constructed with an outwardly extending spring-loaded terminal which provides increased electrical contact pressure and improved electrical performance. The blades are also designed for high temperature operation, with an operating range of -55°C to +125°C. The release tab is spring-loaded and allows for easy insertion and removal of the contacts. The retention flange holds the connector in place ensuring secure connection of the contact blades to the mating terminal. The 346100-2 connector is available in a variety of configurations including: Male, Female, and Right Angle.

Installation and Connection

The 346100-2 terminal is designed for easy installation and connection to equipment and other devices. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications, from large industrial automation systems to consumer electronics and appliances. For most applications, the terminal can be quickly installed using a screwdriver and the retention flange ensures the connector is securely connected. For applications requiring extra electrical protection, additional sealing material (such as heat shrink tubing) can be used to provide environmental protection from moisture and other contaminants.

Working Principle

The 346100-2 terminal operates on a simple principle. When the contacts are inserted in the terminal they make contact with the corresponding terminals in the same way that a traditional two-contact plug and socket connection would. This provides a secure and reliable connection between the two terminals. The contacts of the 346100-2 terminal are designed to provide a reliable connection even when exposed to severe vibration and other environmental conditions. The contact blades are designed to be self-cleaning; during removal and insertion of the contacts, any foreign particles or contaminants are wiped clean from the contact surfaces. This ensures reliable electrical performance in a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

The 346100-2 terminal is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of interconnect applications. The thermoplastic construction ensures robust performance and the corrosive-resistant material ensures reliable operation in a variety of environments. Additionally, the design specifics of the connector make it easy to install and the contact blades provide easy connection to other components.
