Circular Connectors – Contacts are used when the application involves interconnecting wires, cables, and printed circuit boards (PCBs). The physically robust and reusable design of circular contacts makes them an ideal choice for a variety of applications where security, reliability, and versatility are the main requirements. Among the different types of such contacts, one type is the APK-PA16G07-002-C. In this article, we discuss the application field and working principle of this contact type.

APK-PA16G07-002-C contact type is mostly used for high-current applications. This contact type is typically used in automotive, electronics, and space applications and includes a variety of features such as a threaded ring for easy installation, a heavy wire guide for strength, and a high spring force. This contact type is also designed to prevent arc breakdown in the connection. It is available in solder, crimp, and PCM-Cable termination types.

APK-PA16G07-002-C contact type is also designed to provide a high level of security against interferences. It includes a rigid electrical insulation barrier between the contact and the housing that prevents the build-up of spark and forces from outside sources from interfering with the electrical contacts. The contact also has a high spring force that ensures the secure connection of the contact even after thousands of mating cycles. Additionally, it protects the contact from shocks, vibrations, and rough handling.

The working principle of the contact is simple. It uses a spring-loaded contact pin made of a conductive material. As the contact pin makes contact, it creates an electrical connection. The spring force of the contact ensures that the connection remains secure even after thousands of mating cycles. The contact also includes an insulator, which helps to absorb any electrical interference that may be caused by objects in the vicinity and keep any sparks from making contact with the contacts.

The circular contacts of the APK-PA16G07-002-C contact type provide a reliable connection for a variety of applications that require quick and secure connections. They are designed to withstand frequent cyclic stresses, and provide reliable performance even after multiple connection cycles. The contact’s high spring force and its rigid electrical insulation barrier make it an ideal choice for environments that require secure connections and protection from interferences.
