85988-002LF Application Field and Working Principle

85988-002LF is a M8 cable connector produced by TE Connectivity. It is used for a variety of purposes, including use in compressed air systems, power control systems, and motors. The 85988-002LF is a two-position M8 connector that features a secure, quick-connect system. It is designed to eliminate any potential sources of electrical interference due to its push-in style of connection.

This connector is designed to protect equipment and its components from corrosion and wear. It is rated up to 125 volts and 16 amps, and is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. Due to its robust construction and durable materials, the 85988-002LF is often used in harsh environments, such as in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors.

This connector is especially useful in situations that require frequent disassembly, such as in repair or maintenance work. This is because the 85988-002LF has a tool-less, snap-on connector system which makes it quicker and easier to install and remove than traditional screw-style connectors.

Working Principle

The 85988-002LF utilizes a specialized “push-in” type of connection system. This type of connection system is made up of a shielded, three-contact pair and two self-retaining latches which secure the wire connector into the cable outlet. To complete the connection, users must ensure that the contact pins are inserted into the outlet and that the two self-retaining latches are firmly engaged.

The 85988-002LF features an IEC 60512-8-133 standard, D-subminiature connector to ensure compatibility with a variety of cables and wires. It also features a pre-crimped wire end which permits a much faster connection compared to screw-type connectors.

In terms of durability, this connector is made from a robust Polyamide 6-6 material which provides protection against abrasions, corrosion, and extreme temperatures. By having two self-retaining latches, the 85988-002LF also offers a high degree of protection against vibration and impact.
