Introduction

Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors is a type of electrical connector used for making reliable electrical connections. One of the commonly used terminals in this category is 346697-2. This terminal is typically employed to make low voltage, low current connections. It is designed to be rapidly connected and disconnected while ensuring reliable connections between the contacts. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of 346697-2 terminal.

Application Field

The 346697-2 terminal is suitable for applications that require a low voltage transceiver, such as communication devices, circuit boards, and various consumer electronic products. It is well-suited for use with voltage level control and signal transmission due to its small size, high reliability, and low contact resistance. Furthermore, it provides better electrical performance, as well as shock and vibration insulation, when compared to other types of terminals.

Working Principle

To connect or disconnect the 346697-2 terminal, two metallic strips are used, one from each side. This type of terminal is designed to minimize contact and power losses, by using contact plates with a crimped structure. The plate on one side will have a cutout area which will fit over the contact plate on the other side. The plates are then held together by the pin on one side’s surface and the pin on the other side\'s surface.Once in contact, the connection between the two plates will be stable as a result of the pin connecting the two plates. The pin will provide reliable electrical conduction and insulation between the plates as well as minimize contact and power losses. This will ensure that the connection is reliable, while at the same time providing flexibility in the connection.

Disassembly

When it is time to disconnect the 346697-2 terminal, the disassembly process is just as easy and quick. To remove the pin, simply pull it out from the side of the contact plate. This will break the electrical connection between the two plates and release the pin from the terminal. Although the connection is minimal, there is still the potential for electric shock or damage to sensitive equipment if improper handling of the terminal is done. It is therefore important for anyone handling the terminal to be cautious and to wear appropriate safety equipment.

Conclusion

The 346697-2 terminal makes it easy to reliably connect and disconnect devices or equipment with low current and low voltage. It is suitable for applications that require a low voltage transceiver, such as communication devices, circuit boards, and various consumer electronic products. Thanks to its small size, high reliability, and low contact resistance, the 346697-2 terminal provides better electrical performance, as well as shock and vibration insulation, when compared to other types of terminals.
