5050863-1

Terminals - PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors

The 5050863-1 is a terminal product from the TE Connectivity (TE) DEUTSCH series. It is a circular, threaded, one-piece body receptacle connector that is also known as a latching receptacle or latching receptacle, depending on the application. This terminal conforms to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, and the device is listed with RoHS Compliance, confirming that there are no toxic heavy metals contained in the product.

The 5050863-1 terminal is designed for durable performance. The product incorporates stainless steel with plastic construction, offering a lightweight, corrosion-resistant solution with mechanical strength and a compact design. An externally threaded receptacle is firmly connected to the mating part by using a nut, locking mechanism, tab, etc., and a key or locking sleeve ensures a secure connection.

The 5050863-1 terminal is constructed with contacts on each side for the convenience of direct insertion and mating of multiple contact wires. The product is offered in multiple pin number configurations and can be fixed with a hexagon-shaped nut and crimped. The shell is made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, offering a robust and durable solution.

The primary application of the 5050863-1 terminal is in aviation and military applications. The product is highly resistant to extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature, dust, and mechanical shock. Due to its robust design, the product is often used on airframes, satellites, helicopters, and other aircrew and soldier protection equipment. Additionally, the product can be used in equipment designed for harsh mechanical and thermal shock environments.

In terms of working principles, the 5050863-1 terminal provides a secure connection by using a combination of interfacing and crimping. Firstly, mating is done by fastening the latching receptacle and the mating part together. The hex nut will then be tightened and an anti-rotation key is inserted into a keyway in the receptacle. The key prevents rotation of the latching receptacle during mating. Utilizing crimps requires crimp dies that are selected based on the type of contact being mated. Finally, crimping is done, securing the contacted pins and ensuring the integrity of the connection.

The 5050863-1 terminal from TE is an effective, specialized solution for reliable connections in extreme environments. The device offers reliable performance and secure connections, which meet the demands of aviation and military applications.
