71609-410ALF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are typically used in a variety of applications, including data and signal, power, and communications connectors. The 71609-410ALF is a multi-contact female connector, designed to mate with a header or receptacle. It features a unique locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration or accidental contact.

The 71609-410ALF is a compact, durable connector suitable for a variety of applications. It uses brass or steel body and is sealed for protection from outdoor and harsh environments, as well as from corrosion, dust, moisture, and temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C. The 71609-410ALF’s contact system is designed with a two-level socket design that increases conductivity and reduces contact resistance.

The 71609-410ALF is available in two terminal configurations; closed and open. The closed configuration features an automatic locking system with each contact housed in an individual spring-loaded housing, which is activated by a switch on the mating surface. This configuration prevents accidental disconnects and allows for continuous power and signal. The open configuration has a rotating mechanism for each contact, allowing users to adjust the size of the contact housing for easier access and use.

The connector features a unique internal locking system to ensure an uninterrupted connection in the most extreme environmental conditions. This locking system also increases the longevity of the connection and reduces contact resistance. The 71609-410ALF also has an external system for additional protection from shocks and vibration. This external system features a blunt contact mating surface that prevents contact damage.

In terms of working principle, the 71609-410ALF is designed to connect two mating surfaces firmly, with contact resistance. Inside the female connector, the contact pressure generated by the inserted pins is transferred from the contact surface to the internal locking mechanism and then to the entire connector body. This contact pressure ensures firm connections, good contact pressure stability, long contact life, and overall improved reliability. It is also designed to provide a secure yet easy installation; the connector can be blind-mated without any tools required.

The 71609-410ALF is suitable for applications in a variety of industrial sectors. It is designed to meet the demands of the industrial terminal market and is capable of attaching to power and signal cables in automotive, shipbuilding, elevator, aerospace, and power supply equipment. Finally, it also provides reliable electrical, mechanical and thermal performance, making it a flexible and versatile choice for a variety of applications.
