Working Principle

The 531129-7 is an easy-to-use connector that requires minimal effort to install or remove. It functions as a precision alignment connector with a spring-loaded latch to ensure proper contact alignment and connection retention. The spring-loaded latch also ensures that the connector and the mating cables remain securely attached even under vibration or dynamic loads.

The 531129-7 has a mating index that ensures a consistent connection every time it is mated. This prevents misalignment of contacts, and ensures that the mating system provides a reliable and repeatable connection.

The 531129-7 also features a positive-locking mechanism that provides secure guidance between the plug and the receptacle during mating. This prevents any accidental disconnection due to vibration or other external forces.

The 531129-7 is UL-rated to 300V/20A and offers a current rating of up to 4A, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The connector is available in various mounting configurations (through hole, surface mount, right angle) and is compatible with a variety of insulation displacement contact (IDC) terminations.
