4-87346-0 is a type of Rectangular Connector, which belongs to a family of Headers, Male Pins connectors. 4-87346-0 is designed typically for use in the field of industrial automation.
4-87346-0are constructed from tough and durable Polyamide 6.6, which makes it ideal for heavily exposed applications in the industrial automation, communication, data/signal processing and medical devices market. 4-87346-0 also has several different contact arrangements, including Common Anode (CA) and Common Cathode (CC). The pins on the 4-87346-0 connector are crimp-type pins, and have the ability to withstand up to 5Aof current.
4-87346-0 connectors work using the same basic principles as other types of connector. The pins provide electrical and/or physical connection between the mating components, and the connectors are designed to ensure the secure connection is made. The pin/socket contacts on 4-87346-0 are designed with a spring-back design, meaning they can move when encountering minor amounts of tension. This allows 4-87346-0 connectors to permit greater flexibility when attaching to components, thus enabling them to withstand more dynamic applications.
The secure connection is made due to the design of the 4-87346-0 connector, which ensures that the pins will fit snugly into the connector housing. This prevents the electrical/physical connection from coming loose during use. 4-87346-0 connectors also use a variety of locking mechanisms, such as snap-locks, which help to ensure the connection is firmly held during use.
By making use of the combination of tough materials, spring-back contact design, and robust locking mechanisms, 4-87346-0 connectors are designed to provide reliable and robust connections for a range of applications.
