696273-2

Terminals - Wire Pin Connectors

The 696273-2 is a widely used terminal wire pin connector, and is most commonly seen in telecommunication, computer, medical, and automotive applications. It enables connections and disconnections to be made for applications where mechanical and electrical properties are of paramount importance.

Mechanical Features

The 696273-2 connector is molded from strong, durable polyester material and is capable of providing strong wire retention and a secure fit with a small contact area. It is also designed so that it can be re-used up to fifteen times, making it a long-term, effective solution for temporary or permanent connections. Additionally, this type of connector eliminates the need for additional screws or bolts since it is fastened securely into place by two ramps and a detent system. The connector also channels away dirt and dust which can otherwise enter the insulating material, providing additional protection against short circuits.

Electrical Features

The 696273-2 provides reliable contact connections with low electrical resistance and high immunity to shock and vibration. It has a maximum current rating of 5A, and its insulation is rated at 600V/AC. Additionally, it is also rated for up to 250V/DC and 1000V/DC. The connector also complies with RoHS standards, and UL recognized components.

Working Principle

The 696273-2 terminal wire pin connector works by providing a connection between two electrical wires. It is assembled by connecting the two wires into the terminal block, and then locking them into place by pushing down the ramped tabs. This locks the connector into place and creates a secure connection between the two wires. Once the connection is made, the connector can then be disconnected by pushing the detent tab which releases the pins and allows the wires to be removed.

Applications

The 696273-2 is widely used in a variety of applications including telecommunication, computer, medical, and automotive. In telecommunication, it is most commonly used for connecting sensors and controlling electrical components. In computers, it is used for internal and external signal connections in routers, cable modems, switch boxes and other networking devices. In medical applications, the 696273-2 can be used for electrical connections in medical imaging devices and surgical robots. In automotive applications, it is most commonly used for connecting electronic components such as sensors, actuators and switches.
