Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors

61316-1, also known as Quick Connects or Quick Disconnect Connectors, are used for applications that require high voltage and fast connection/disconnection. This type of terminal is used for high-current connection and disconnection in multiple applications within automotive, electronic, industrial, and medical fields. These connectors are made from nylon and elastomeric materials that are strong, flexible, and resistant to vibrations and wear.

What Are The Benefits Of Using 61316-1 Terminals?

Quick Connects provide several benefits that can be beneficial for your project. They can be used to provide a reliable and secure connection and disconnection of wiring, without the need to solder or crimp. As they create an air and water-tight connection, they are perfect for outdoor applications. Additionally, their convenient one-piece design allows for ease of installation and maintenance.

How Does 61316-1 Work?

The 61316-1 terminal works by establishing a mechanical connection between the connector and the cable. It is also designed to support a range of current capacity up to 40A. It requires the use of two pieces, a male and female, commonly referred to as a “cube” and a “pin”. The male connector slides on the female one and locks into place.

Before connecting the terminals, you should inspect them for any dirt or damage that can impair the connection. If the contacts are dry or contaminated with dirt, it is best to clean them with an appropriate solvent and brush. Some 61316-1 terminals are self-cleaning and the contacts are polarity protected.

To connect the quick connect terminals, first separate the male and female parts. Then slide the male part onto the female and make sure the connectors are secured with the locking tab. When connecting the terminals, always check the connection for any visible leaks and make sure that the contacts are securely engaged. To disconnect the terminals, simply pull the locking tab back and slide the male part out of the female part.

Conclusion

61316-1 terminals are perfect for applications requiring high-current connections and disconnections. Their quick connection/disconnection provides convenience, and their reliable and secure design make them a viable option for many industries. When installing and connecting 61316-1 terminals, it is important to make sure that they are inspected for dirt and damage, and that the connection is secure and tight.
