Working Principle

The 805-87-027-10-229101 connector operates through contact attraction and pressure from a crimping tool. When crimped, the contact housings and terminals are bonded together by mechanical pressure during the installation process. Contact attraction, which is caused by the contact retaining structures at the base of the housing and the rounded edges of the upper terminal help to ensure a more reliable connection. This attraction allows the terminals to be firmly held in place, while the lower housing creates a fit for secure connection.
