42822-8 Application Field and Working Principle

The 42822-8 and compatible quick connects and quick disconnects are terminals used in a variety of applications, such as manufacturing, automotive, medical, and electronic assembly. They are widely used for power, signal, data, and low-voltage applications, and offer simple, reliable, and cost-effective electrical connections.

Types of 42822-8 Terminals

Primarily produced in a metallic housing, the 42822-8 quick connects and quick disconnects come in two types: standard and shrouded. The standard terminal is a non-shrouded, flat body configuration with a tab receptacle and is terminated internally with a push-connect system. The shrouded terminal is a straight body configuration with a wide range of orientations that can be deployed in narrow spaces. This terminal is terminated externally with a two-pin system.

42822-8 Working Principle

The 42822-8 quick connects and quick disconnects employ a push-pull and lock system. The system provides a secure connection, ideal for quick wiring applications and installations requiring frequent re-termination, such as wiring harnesses used in automotive and medical equipment applications. The terminals are designed to meet a variety of UL and CSA approvals, providing they are properly installed and used in the intended applications.

The 42822-8 terminals feature non-corrosive nickel plated steel, brass, aluminum, and plastic components that provide excellent tensile strength and corrosion resistance. The terminals also feature a unique two-piece construction that eliminates the need for solder and makes them easier to install. The terminals are designed to accept solid or stranded wire, and are designed to accept #8 AWG and smaller wire gauges. The insulation coating is designed to provide for excellent temperature cycling, and the terminals are also UL-listed for vapor-tight sealing.

Benefits of 42822-8 Terminals

The 42822-8 quick connects and quick disconnects offer a number of benefits for industrial, automotive, medical, and electronic applications:

• The terminals are easy to install, and can be used in harsh or wet environments.
• The terminals feature secure connections, which is ideal for applications subject to constant dynamic loads or vibration.
• The terminals are also RoHS compliant, helping to minimize the environmental impact of electrical connections.
• The terminals are designed to operate in a temperature range of -40°F to +221°F (-40°C to +105°C), making them suitable for a variety of industrial and automotive applications.
• The terminals feature a high current-carrying capacity and are designed to meet a variety of UL and CSA standards.

Conclusion

The 42822-8 and compatible quick connects and quick disconnects are reliable, cost-effective terminals suitable for a wide variety of applications, from manufacturing to automotive to medical and electronic assembly. This family of terminals offers easy installation, secure connections, high temperature cycling capabilities, and compliance with UL and CSA standards. The 42822-8 terminals are ideal for applications that require frequent re-termination, providing a reliable and low-cost solution.
