42868-1 Connectors, Interconnects

Terminals - Barrel, Bullet Connectors

The 42868-1 is a type of barrel-style terminal typically used in lighter-duty applications. It is also known as a bullet-style connector, as the crimpable portion resembles a bullet in shape. The 42868-1’s rugged design also makes it an ideal choice for on-board cabling solutions in for industrial machinery and equipment, ensuring tight connections that are able to withstand strong vibration and obstacle.

The 42868-1 is composed of a body and terminals and works by having one set of terminals crimped into the insulated part of the wire. The terminals then slide into the body to form a secure, waterproof connection. The metal body and terminals are then crimped together to form a strong connection. This connection can then be electrically connected with other components or systems.

The 42868-1 offers a variety of advantages due to its design. It provides a secure connection that can handle heavier current loads due to its metal construction and larger terminal size. Additionally, it offers increased vibration and temperature variation tolerance, making it ideal for harsh environments. The bullet-style design also makes it easier for users to identify the terminals, allowing for quick and easy installation and reconnection.

Aside from its use as a general-purpose connection, the 42868-1 is commonly used in power distribution systems, lighting assemblies, and a variety of automotive and industrial applications. Being water and dustproof protects against pollutant accumulation, which helps ensure reliable performance and reduce the need for expensive repairs. It is also compatible with a variety of wire sizes and insulation types, further increasing its practicality.

Overall, the 42868-1 is a versatile terminal solution that is designed to meet the needs of light to medium applications in a wide range of industries. Its durable construction and high tolerance to vibration, temperature variations, and pollutants makes it ideal for harsh environments, while also providing quick and easy installation. Additionally, its connection versatility ensures compatibility with a wide variety of insulation types and wire sizes.
