RFI and EMI - Contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets the 7300-0060-72 application field and working principle

RFI/EMI Contacts are metal contact pieces that provide electrical continuity between two mating connectors together. RFI stands for Radio Frequency Interference and EMI stands for Electromagnetic Interference. These contacts are designed to increase the signal integrity and reduce any effects of interference.

The 7300-0060-72 Contact consists of a body and a fingerstock, usually made of brass or stainless steel, which have pre-drilled holes to allow for easy mounting. It has two pins which are designed to fit into a circular connector\'s hole. The body has an outer diameter of 0.30 inches and an inner diameter of 0.22 inches. The outer diameter of the body and its corresponding inner diameter are easily adjusted so that it can fit into different sized connectors.

The contact has an open air gap dielectric insulation that is inserted between the fingers. This dielectric material prevents any current leakage between the two attached connectors and creates a solution for RFI and EMI. The fingers are connected to the body by a gasket which makes sure that the air gap dielectric is securely in place. The gasket also serves as a physical stop, preventing any vibration or contact misalignment.

The working principle of the 7300-0060-72 contact is simple. When two pieces of metal are brought together in contact, a current flows between the two connectors which creates a signal, allowing for communication between the two connectors. The air gap dielectric material prevents interference from external sources such as radio or electromagnetic waves.

The 7300-0060-72 contact is an ideal solution for RFI and EMI applications. It is designed to provide electrical continuity between two mating connectors while protecting against interference. The fingers provide a secure contact while the gasket creates a physical stop and ensures the air gap dielectric material is in place. This contact is made of quality materials and is easy to install in a variety of circular connector sizes.
