Working Principle

71991-304 female connectors are designed to offer reliable power connections and protection against environmental and system hazards. Utilizing two plastic shell types, each socket has two contact elements to form an electrical connection. The contact elements fit firmly into each socket and are held in place by the two contact elements. Depending on the application, some 71991-304 connectors are constructed with a shell that allows for easy detachment and re-attachment.

These female connectors also feature a series of mounting and positioning options which enable them to be securely attached to the available circuit boards and sockets. Depending on the application, 71991-304 connectors may feature a range of sealing options which are designed to protect the contacts from dust, moisture, oil and other contaminants. Additionally, these female connectors feature a special locking mechanism which ensures a positive and secure connection.

71991-304 female connectors are designed to provide reliable power connections and protection against environmental and system hazards. With their reliable flow of power through their multiple contact points they can be used in many demanding applications with extreme temperatures, vibration, and pressure. Both 71991-304 designs are well suited to the most extreme of environments, making them an ideal choice for many industrial and consumer applications.
