42373-3

42373-3 type connectors are terminals, known as Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors. As their name suggests, they are designed for quick installation and quick disconnection.

These connectors are a type of transferable terminal block, which is a versatile solution to disconnection and reconnection of circuits. The connectors feature a threaded connection for added strength, and a single flat sliding contact element that can be quickly inserted or removed from the housing. This is what makes it a great choice for repeated or temporary wiring connections.

The application of 42373-3 type connectors includes applications in a wide variety of industries including electrical systems, automotive, and communications. In the field of electrical systems, the connectors are used most commonly for coupling, secondary protection, and joining of wires. They are also used in automotive applications for connecting doorbells, instrument panels, and for connecting switches.

In addition to their wide range of electrical applications, 42373-3 type connectors are also great for communication solutions when it comes to providing connections between communication systems. The connectors are highly reliable and durable due to their robust design, and are designed to maintain electrical performance even in harsh conditions. This makes them an ideal choice for telecom applications.

Regarding their working principle, 42373-3 type connectors use a flat-type of contact element, which is designed to slide into the housing of the connector in order to make a connection. This is achieved by inserting the contact element into the slot in the connector body, and then pushing it forward until it locks firmly in place and a secure connection is made. When the contact element is fully inserted, an electrical connection is established.

The contact element also has a threaded connection that provides extra strength and ensures a secure connection. The threaded connection can be adjusted for different lengths of contact elements, and thus can be used for a variety of applications. For example, if a shorter contact element is needed, the threaded connection can be easily adjusted to accommodate it.

When the 42373-3 type connectors are disconnected, the contact elements must be removed from the connector body. This is achieved by pulling on the contact element until it is fully disconnected. This disconnects the connection and provides a safe environment for the contact elements. The contact elements can then be stored away until the next time they are needed.

In conclusion, 42373-3 type connectors are Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors that provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for temporary wiring connections and secondary protection. The connectors are highly durable and are suitable for a variety of applications in a number of industries, including electrical systems, automotive, and telecommunications. They use flat contact elements that are easily inserted and removed from the housing, and provide extra strength and reliability through their threaded connection.
