Working Principle

87236-4 Connectors feature an index tab that allows for the secure connection of the two electrical components. The contacts, which are usually made of gold or tin, are loaded into the connector and their position is fixed by the tab. When the connectors are mated with their counterparts, the two parts are aligned mechanically by the tab. This ensures that the pins are in contact with each other, completing the electrical connection. Furthermore, the Index Tab prevents any accidentally improper mating, as the tab is only able to fit in the correct direction, hence additional protection is provided against any misalignment.

87236-4 connectors also have a "positive lock". This is an additional feature, provided by the unique tongue and groove locking system, that ensures that the pin and socket make a secure contact. As the connectors are mated, the tongue and groove system slides into contact, providing a "positive lock" that holds the connector firmly in place.

Overall, 87236-4 connectors are reliable, efficient, and versatile components that can be used in a variety of industrial applications. With their secure locking mechanism and mechanical alignment, they provide the utmost safety and reliability.
