Heavy Duty Connectors - Housings, Hoods, Bases

The C146 10N016 802 2 is a heavy duty connector, designed for efficient electrical connections in a wide range of applications. This connection is especially geared towards applications that require a higher level of reliability and performance. Heavy duty connectors are particularly valuable in applications like automotive electronics, building automation systems, and industrial control systems, where accuracy and durability are essential.

The C146 10N016 802 2 is a one-piece molded connector with a dual cavity design, and includes a 4-point locking feature for ensured circuitry protection. It is manufactured from an impact-resistant polycarbonate material and has a built-in contact guide and terminal cover/seal. These features provide reliability in heavy-duty applications, such as those that require superior electrical contact integrity and environmental protection.

Application Field and Working Principle

The C146 10N016 802 2 is predominantly designed for heavy-duty or high-end automotive and industrial applications. It is suitable for all kinds of vehicles including cars, buses, motorbikes, and underground electric vehicles, and it is specially designed for use in rugged and extremely hazardous environments. These connectors are ideal for connecting various loads (e.g., pumps, electric motors, and air conditioning systems) to electrical power in automotives.

The C146 10N016 802 2 connector contains two mating parts, a male side and a female side. By inserting the male part into the female part, the electrical power is transferred from the male side to the load on the female side. The male half is equipped with a groove, and the female half comprises a matching groove. When the male part is inserted into the female, the two grooves close, creating a strong, reliable connection. The connection is further secured by a compression spring and a pair of pull-pins.

The C146 10N016 802 2 connector is an excellent choice for applications that require a high degree of protection from moisture and dust. Its polycarbonate housing has an IP67 rating, meaning that the device can withstand up to two weeks of immersion in water at up to one meter in depth and is highly dust-resistant. It also has a good resistance to chemicals and solvents, as well as vibration and shock. Additionally, the C146 10N016 802 2 requires a low insertion force (10N or less) for reliable and repeatable connector performance.

Conclusion

The C146 10N016 802 2 is a high-performance, heavy duty connector that is designed to withstand the toughest of conditions. It is IP67-rated and highly dust-resistant, making it suitable for applications that require protection from the elements. It also has a good resistance to chemicals, solvents, shock, and vibration, plus a low insertion force for repeatable performance. All in all, the C146 10N016 802 2 is a great choice for reliable electrical connections in tough industrial and automotive applications.
