Terminals, or electrical connectors, are one of the most fundamental components of electrical systems. They enable us to join separate components and link circuits together. Quick connects, quick disconnect connectors, are used for making electrical connections quickly and efficiently. The 5-160490-3 is a specific type of quick connect, quick disconnect (QCQD) connector from Amphenol, a leading global connector manufacturer, and forms the \'corner stone\' of the company\'s QCQD product line. This article looks at the 5-160490-3\'s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 5-160490-3 is a rugged, lightweight QCQD connector with the contact size of 0.50-0.64mm. This makes it suitable for a wide range of application fields, including:

• Industrial
• Aerospace
• Communications
• consumer electronics

This connector is particularly popular in applications needing quick, easy connection, such as temporary set-ups in the field. It is also used extensively in permanent, fixed installations, such as backplanes, where it provides reliable electrical connections.

Working Principle

At the heart of the 5-160490-3 QCQD connector system is a simple \'push and lock\' motion. This motion allows users to quickly and easily connect and disconnect the system in a few simple steps.

The connection process begins with the user pressing the object they wish to connect into the connector housing. This causes the gold-plated contacts inside the housing to compress and hold the object in place. To remove the object, the user simply pulls on the \'ears\' on the side of the connector housing and the contacts will decompress, releasing the object. This enables the user to rapidly disconnect and reconnect the connector.

As well as providing reliable electrical connections, the 5-160490-3 connector is also highly durable. The contacts are constructed with high-grade materials and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures. The housing is also designed to be resistant to abrasion and corrosion, enabling the connector to withstand even the harshest of conditions.

Conclusion

The 5-160490-3 quick connect, quick disconnect (QCQD) connector from Amphenol provides an easy and efficient way for users to join electrical components together. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications and is highly durable, making it an ideal choice for both temporary and permanent electrical connections.
