5204-0001-15

Circular Connectors - Accessories are connectors designed specifically to provide an electrical connection between two or more circuits. They typically consist of either two or more metal or plastic contact elements enclosed in a cylindrical shell. 5204-0001-15 circular connectors are noteworthy in the fact that they feature a three-stranded, 12-awg wiring. These circles have been designed to provide the reliability and durability necessary for many demanding industrial applications, and their common features, such has standard tin plated contacts, ensure that they will be reliable in a broad range of applications.

Application

5204-0001-15 connectors are designed for in-field installation and re-terminating. These circular connectors are rated for use in lightning-protected and harsh industrial environments. They feature a high current rating of 30A and a voltage rating of 300V. The 3-strand, 12 AWG wiring provides a total of 24 amp continuous load capability, and the contacts are made of corrosion-resistant tin plated copper.

These connectors are designed for use in applications where their environmental and current rating provide a significant advantage. Typical applications include industrial automation, industrial lighting, motor controls, control and monitoring systems, and even military and aerospace applications.

Working Principle

5204-0001-15 connectors employ a screw-on clamping mechanism for secure connection. The main contact elements are securely held in place by a locking ring that screws onto the connector body. An O-ring seal prevents moisture and other contaminants from entering the connection. The housing has a wide variety of features that offer additional protection from dust, moisture, and vibration. The contacts are rugged and durable, able to withstand prolonged exposure to temperature extremes.

To ensure the integrity of the connection, 5204-0001-15 circular connectors use up to three solder-filled strands per contact row. This allows for a stronger and more reliable connection, with 24amp components being the maximum permissible current load per row. Each contact is overmolded to ensure a better grip on the wiring and a superior level of electrical insulation.

Conclusion

5204-0001-15 circular connectors are a reliable and durable solution for a variety of applications, and provide sufficient electrical and environmental protection for a wide range of use cases. Their three-stranded, 12-awg wiring enables a total continuous current rating of 24amp, while their contacts provide a high level of strength and corrosion resistance. Thanks to their secure locking mechanism and O-ring seal, these connectors are ideal for use in harsh environments where reliability and durability are essential.
