Then, what is the application field of 556137-2 and how does it work? Let’s find out together.

Application Field of 556137-2

The 556137-2 model generally used in the following application fields:

• Industrial machinery: This blade type power connector is widely used in motors, robots, CNC, injection molding machines, printing machines, etc.
• Automated electrical systems: The 556137-2 is used in automatic door systems, surveillance systems, medical systems, PLC systems, energy system, lighting systems, and so on.
• Power supply system: The connector model can also apply to power transmission or power exchange.

In addition to the application fields above, the 556137-2 also can be used in many other areas, such as power supply distribution system, digital communication system, UPS and so on.

Working Principle

The 556137-2 connector type is different from conventional terminal type and can be assemblied with customary tools, such as precision screwdriver. It consists of a male and female connector, both of which have straight way down blades that enable them to make contact for continuity. This connection is completed when the two connectors are inserted into each other completely and firmly. The mating surface of the two connectors is made of high quality copper alloy, and the outer part of the connectors is made of advanced insulating material, making them both reliable and safe in application.

Moreover, the blade type connection has a self-locking structure, which can form a good contact with a moderate force and help to ensure that the connection is not loosened. Additionally, if necessary, a proper locking device such as a screw and nut may be adopted to provide extra security. This self-locking structure is helpful to secure the continuous current and avoid wire breaking or signal interruption.

In conclusion, 556137-2 blade type power connectors offer great convenience in operation with its self-locking structure and advanced insulation materials, and its application field covers many areas, from industry to automatic system to power supply system.
