It is RoHS compliant, and its contact pairs are rated to an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +150ºC. Its contacts are made from phosphor bronze and are silver-plated. Its contact spring has a tensile strength of 2300 N/mm2 and a torque rate of 1.24 Nm/mm. Its conductive rubber has insulation resistance of >10^13Ω at high humidity.

In terms of environmental protection, the 4600PAH1K01200 offers high quality rewirable interconnects and a unique, high-reliability design. It is also resistant to heat, vibration, and harsh environmental conditions including moisture, salts, and dust. It is corrosion free and offers complete sealing against water ingress. Additionally, the 4600PAH1K01200 is designed to withstand extremes of temperature, and retains its performance under pressure.

Functionality and Operation

The 4600PAH1K01200 contacts are designed to be installed on a wide range of electronic and electrical devices, from automotive components to consumer electronics. It can be used to connect two components together while providing energy transmission and also providing an instant and reliable connection. All contact pairs are designed to enable rapid connection with a single action, and it can also be used to provide an alternate path for electrical and digital signals.

The contacts of the 4600PAH1K01200 are designed with an internal spring-loaded mechanism that features an optimum contact pressure, optimized contact spring and contact material. The contact pairs have a highly reliable and robust design which prevents the contacts from loosening and misaligning. The contact material in this design is tailored for good electrical contact performance, while the material\'s high-temperature tolerance ensures exceptional performance in harsh environments.

The 4600PAH1K01200 contact also features a unique stainless steel fingerstock design. This fingerstock design enables the contacts to self-adjust to compensate for temperature-induced expansion and contraction. The fingerstock design also has a robust membrane that helps maintain a tight and secure wire-to-contact connection. It contains two adjustable spring clips to ease the installation process and provides a reliable connection while protecting against cable and terminal damage.

Applications and Installation

The 4600PAH1K01200 contact is specifically designed for use in high current, space-constrained applications. It is most commonly used in automotive electronics, factory automation equipment, consumer electronics, and hazardous location applications. It is also suitable for use in harsh environments such as high vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and extreme humidity. The contact is also designed to be installed in a wide range of panel sizes and openings. Its flexible design allows for installation in tight and confined spaces such as inside control cabinets.

Working Principle

The 4600PAH1K01200 contact pairs feature a spring-loaded contact mechanism that provides a robust and reliable connection. The contact pairs are designed with a unique silicone rubber gasket that creates an electrical seal between the contacts and the panel. This seal ensures the contacts are held firmly in place and prevent against water and other contaminants. The silicone rubber gasket also helps distribute the contact spring tension, which ensures the contact pair maintains electrical contact for a long period of time.

The 4600PAH1K01200 contact pairs feature a high-performance design that enables rapid connection and disconnection. The contacts are designed with a one-piece fingerstock that provides a secure and solid connection, while the unique silicone rubber gasket helps protect against water and other contaminants. The contacts are also designed to self-adjust and compensate for temperature-induced changes.

Conclusion

The 4600PAH1K01200 contact, manufactured by AIC Responsive Systems, is a robust and reliable contact technology designed to survive in the toughest of conditions and applications. Its unique silicone rubber gasket helps create an electrical seal between the contacts and the panel, providing a reliable and long-lasting connection. The contacts are designed with a one-piece fingerstock that provides a secure and solid connection, while the contact spring helps distribute the contact spring tension for a firm and reliable connection. The 4600PAH1K01200 contact provides reliable power transmission and signal connection in a wide range of applications, including automotive and hazardous locations.
