52463-1 Connectors, Interconnects

Introduction

The 52463-1 is a type of Terminal-Spade Connector. Its basic role is to provide a physical and electrical connection between two pieces of equipment while providing reliable and secure connection for the desired applications. With this type of connector, multiple terminals can be connected in series, parallel, or mixed configurations in order to satisfy different applications needs and requirements.

Application Field and Working Principle

Spade connectors are widely used in automotive, automotive electronic, communications, computer, and consumer electrical applications. Examples of their application includes in vehicle harnesses, wiring harnesses, power supplies, control boxes, and in telecommunications and data communications.

The working principle of a Spade connector consists of two pieces that together form a complete electrical connection. The main body connects the external wiring to the user-defined internal contacts and is also the main electrical contact. The locking clip holds the two pieces together and provides secure retention which prevents any possibility of accidental disconnection.

These connectors have a low contact resistance resulting in low voltage drops. Quality contact and physical performance are achieved by using a high quality Nickel contact with spring properties. Furthermore, they have excellent vibration resistance resulting in long contact life and an improved performance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 52463-1 terminal-spade connector is ideal for applications requiring reliable and secure electrical and physical connections. The low contact resistance, excellent vibration resistance, and secure retention allows it to be used across a range of automotive, electronic, industrial, and telecommunications applications.
