73396-403LF

Terminals - Foil Connectors is a category of connectors that provide electrical connections between power and data lines, as well as signal and ground lines. One of the most common terminals used for these applications is the 73396-403LF, a grid-convertible terminal available in top- and side-mount designs.

The 73396-403LF is a miniaturized terminal that provides electrical connectivity between wires. The terminal is designed with a grid-convertible feature, making it suitable for high-density connections. It has a one-piece design that simplifies installation. It also provides excellent electrical contact, as well as low induction losses. As a result, the 73396-403LF is suitable for a wide range of applications, including communications, automotive, and appliance industries.

The 73396-403LF is a plastic terminal with three terminals: a positive and a ground terminal, and a signal terminal. The positive and ground terminals are connected to a power supply, and the signal terminal is connected to an external device. To ensure an efficient connection, the terminals are fitted with a spring contact. The spring contact is designed to maintain a reliable electrical contact while preventing the terminals from vibrating or loosening due to external forces.

The 73396-403LF also has a built-in strain relief system. This strain relief system effectively minimizes contact damage due to vibration and attenuates mechanical force due to shock or jolt. This makes the 73396-403LF highly reliable in applications requiring robust mechanical connections, such as those used in engines or machine tools.

In addition to its strain relief system, the 73396-403LF terminal is also designed with corrosion-resistant nickel plating. This plating provides an additional layer of protection to further enhance the terminal’s corrosion resistance. This makes the 73396-403LF a preferred terminal for corrosive environments, such as those found in marine and off-shore applications.

The 73396-403LF is used in a wide range of applications in different industries. It is commonly used for signal and control connections in automotive, communications, appliance, home entertainment, and other electronics industries. In automotive applications, the 73396-403LF can be used for power supply, engine control, safety systems, lighting and climate control connections. In communications, the 73396-403LF terminals are used for power supply and signal lines for modems and routers, as well as for other low voltage connections. It also finds use in consumer electronics such as TVs, refrigerators, washers, dishwashers, and rangehoods.

The 73396-403LF terminal is designed to provide a reliable and efficient connection between power and data lines. Its features, such as a spring contact and built-in strain relief system, make it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also designed with corrosion-resistant nickel plating that further enhances its durability. As a result, the 73396-403LF is a preferred connector for various applications in different industries.
