Introduction

The C146 21G006 506 8 (hereafter, C146) is a Heavy Duty Connector with a Housing, Hood, Base and in-built seal. The C146 is utilized in applications where electrical connections must be made with impeccable reliability and with minimal maintenance required. Its design makes it ideal for industrial, transportation, telecommunications, and other uses.

Design Specifications of C146

The C146 is composed of suprisingly few parts. It has an all-in-one metal housing, hood and base, both releasable, and is also fully waterproof. It has the ability to process 2000+ cycles and comes with a one-piece pin housing. The hood and base of the C146 are made from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), while the housing is made from die cast zinc. As this is a heavy duty connector, it features 3-4 pins in different combinations. The pins themselves are tin plated brass and are rated at 21G006 506 8. This means that they can easily resist large electrical and mechanical stresses thanks to the plating.The sealing capability of the C146 is impressive. It has an IP rating of IP-54, which means it can easily withstand dust and other uncertain environments. In addition, it has an operating temperature range of -25C to 85C, and is corrosion resistant.

Application of C146

The C146 is specially designed to be used in harsh environments or harsh conditions. As it is both waterproof and dustproof, it is ideal for Industrial Automation, Transportation, Telecommunications, Marine and Gas Equipment, Mining Equipment, and Power Distribution devices.The C146 can also be used in applications where electrical connections need to be made quickly and reliably. Its quick-lock design makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent disconnect and reconnect of connections, as it can be easily done in seconds without compromising the connection.In addition, the C146 is well suited to applications that require consistent performance, which is why it is used in military, aerospace and automotive, industries.

Working Principle of C146

The C146 uses a double-locking principle to ensure that the connection is secure and reliable. The first locking occurs as the hood is closed and locked onto the base, which fits tightly around the pins. The second locking is due to the pins being pushed together by a spring plunger, preventing them from being pulled back out. This ensures that the connection is held securely without the need for further tightening.The waterproof seal between the hood and base ensures that no water, moisture or dirt can penetrate into the connection area. This prevents corrosion and damage to the pins and other components contained in the C146.

Conclusion

The C146 is a heavy-duty connector designed for applications that require a secure and reliable connection. It is waterproof and dustproof, and also features a double-locking system to ensure the connection is held securely. The C146 is perfect for industrial, telecommunication, transportation, and military applications, as it can withstand harsh environments and large electrical and mechanical stresses.
