Working Principle

The 826949-3 connector consists of a plastic housing with two slots that can hold two rectangular male pins. The pins can be inserted into the slots easily and the housing provides secure protection. The male pins and housing are typically constructed from a durable metal like nickel or copper coated steel, which provides strong and reliable electrical connections. Additionally, the plastic housing is designed to protect the metal pins from corrosion and wear.

The pins and housing are also designed to be friction-fit, meaning that they can be easily inserted into a female connector. Once the male pin is pushed into the female terminals, the pins are securely held and a strong electrical connection is established. The pins are also capable of being plugged and unplugged repeatedly without losing their connection. The housing is designed to prevent any shorts or misalignment of the pins.
