7-36149-1

7-36149-1 terminals, that is, ring connectors, are widely applied in various types of electrical and electronic circuits. These connectors offer a secure electrical connection between two or more electrical wires or cables in the circuit. They are usually employed in the power, control, and communications circuits, such as electrical appliances, instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, engine components, or computers and peripherals.

According to different design features, 7-36149-1 terminals are classified as standard, reverse-mount, square, top-entry, or side-entry terminals. Among these types, the standard type features an open barrel for a full 360 degree polar contact. Meanwhile, the reverse-mount and square types have a reversed barrel structure for special applications. The top-entry and side-entry types are respectively designed with top-mounted and side-mounted entry points to facilitate installation.

In general, these ring connectors are primarily used to secure a mechanical and electrical connection to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or PCN (Printed Circuit Node) in a common electrical panel. They are also adopted for power cord assembly, cable harnesses, electric motors, and control circuits, and so on. As mentioned above, they come in a variety of designs and shapes to custom-fit any particular application and are qualified for laboratory, field, and commercial-grade applications.

Moreover, the working principles behind 7-36149-1 terminals are pretty simple. The connector does not need any other additional components and is easy to install on a PCB, making them extremely efficient and cost-effective. It is designed with a metal ring and a contact finger that opens and closes in a snapping motion to enable the electrical connection and disconnection. The ring is made of a conductive material, such as brass or nickel plated steel, which has no sharp edges and contacts the pins on the board to provide electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, the contact finger is inserted into the ring and held in place by a spring to ensure a reliable connection.

7-36149-1 terminals are widely used to provide a secure, reliable, and cost-effective connection for all kinds of electrical and electronic circuits. With such a wide range of varieties and reliable performance, they are an ideal choice for any electronic application.
