66260-2

Contacts - Multi Purpose

66260-2 is a type of contact classification which is used for many applications. It is divided into two categories, namely, general purpose and special purpose. General purpose contact is used for various low-level electrical connections in telecommunications, computer networks, and other industries. Special purpose contact, on the other hand, is used for applications which require greater precision and higher performance than a general purpose contact.

The working principle of the 66260-2 contact shall include both general purpose contact and special purpose contact types. Generally, the contacts will use metal contacts, such as gold, silver or copper, to make electrical contact. The contact types also differ in the contact opening for assembly. For example, the single-pole and double-pole contacts are the most common types and have a simple two-contact opening for assembly. In addition, special contacts made of gold alloys, referred to as "precious metals contacts” or “precision contacts”, can be used for high-precision applications.

When choosing the most appropriate contact type for a particular application, it’s important to consider the electrical contact force, contact surface profile, contact travel, and contact area. The 66260-2 contact type is designed for a wide range of applications, from low-level electrical connections to more complex circuitry. As such, the contact type should be chosen based on the particular specifications of the application.

In addition to the contact types, 66260-2 also specifies the contact\'s working environment. This includes the temperature, humidity, and corrosive properties, along with any other external factors which can affect the contact\'s performance. The material used for the contact should also be carefully evaluated to ensure it is suitable for the application.

In summary, 66260-2 is a contact classification that is designed for a wide range of electrical applications. It is important to consider all the necessary specifications for the application when selecting the proper contact type, such as contact force, contact surface profile and contact area. Finally, the environment in which the contact will be used should be evaluated before making a decision.
