Application Field and Working Principle

77313-818-72 pairs can be used in a variety of applications, such as automotive and instrumentation. The mating between the male and female connector involves two stages. During the insertion process, the male pins of the female connector are forced against the female connector’s cantilever spring until a click sound is heard. This is the first stage, which involves only the male pins. During the second stage, a switch is turned on or off to enable or disable the connection.

In the case of the 77313-818-72 connector, its contacts are placed in the top (female) connector while the male pins are placed into the bottom (male) connector. As a result, the male pins push against the top contacts until a click sound is heard, indicating that the connection has been successful. The 77313-818-72 connectors provide a reliable and secure connection every time they are used.
