41472 Connectors, Interconnects

Terminals - Ring Connectors

Ring connectors, identified by part number 41472, are designed primarily for use in low voltage, low current electronic circuits. These connectors are commonly used in applications where a small connector is required to accept two or more wires. Typically, the ends of the wires are inserted into the underside of the connector and then crimped, clamped, or soldered into place. The connectors are manufactured in a variety of sizes and contact materials to suit many different applications.

Types of Ring Connectors

Ring connectors may be manufactured in either a crimp or solder style. The crimp type features a metal or plastic body and two or more crimp terminals, which are designed for accepting and retaining wires. The solder type features a plastic or metal body and two or more solder blocks, which are designed to accommodate the attachments of wires via soldering. In addition to these two primary types, there are several other types of connectors available as well. For example, there are specialized ring connectors designed for relays, isolation blocks, and fuses, and there are even connectors designed specifically for use with automotive applications. Each type of connector is designed to meet the needs of a particular application and is subject to the same basic principles of design.

Connector Design Principles

The overall design of ring connectors is based on several general principles. First, the wiring involved in connecting each connector must be as secure as possible. This is accomplished by using high-quality material for the body and contacts, as well as by using proper crimping or soldering techniques. In addition, the contacts must make a reliable connection and be capable of carrying the required current without deteriorating over time. In terms of the overall design, the connector must be reliable and capable of providing a maximum amount of contact area between the connected wires. The shape of the connector must also be conducive to a secure connection and must be constructed so that the contacts are not easily damaged or dislodged.

Application Fields for Ring Connectors

Ring connectors may be used in any number of applications where a small, reliable connection is required. These connectors are ideal for use in automotive systems, consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications systems, and many other types of applications. In the automotive industry, these connectors are used to connect various components within the engine and dashboard systems. They can also be used to connect switches and lights, as well as a variety of other small electrical items.In the telecommunications industry, these connectors may be used to connect cables and wires to devices such as routers, switches, and other equipment. They can also be used to connect components within the same system, such as antennae or terminal blocks.Finally, in the industrial control systems, these connectors may be used to connect motors and generators, as well as the circuitry required to control these items. Connecting wires to relays, solenoids, and other such items is also a typical application for a ring connector.

Working Principle of Ring Connectors

The operation of ring connectors is fairly straightforward. The body of the connector houses two or more contacts, which are typically either crimp contacts or solder connections. The wires are inserted into the connector and then attached either by crimping or soldering. The contacts establish a secure connection and allow electricity to flow between the two wires.In order to ensure that the connection remains secure and that electrical continuity is maintained, the contacts are designed in such a way that they make a secure connection even when subjected to high levels of vibration or movement. Additionally, the contacts must also be designed to minimize the amount of heat generated during current flow, in order to prevent any damage to the wires or surrounding components.
