C146 P16 001 G8

Heavy duty connectors have been developed over the years to meet increasingly demanding requirements for applications that require high reliability and temperature resistance. C146 P16 001 G8 connectors are part of this evolution, designed to take over from traditional connectors to provide superior performance in the most challenging high-performance environments.

C146 P16 001 G8 connectors feature similarly rated contacts, including higher temperature resistance, superior corrosion protection and a greater current rating than other industry-standard connectors. Additionally, the C146 P16 001 G8 is designed with crimping options and integral earth clips, so that a secure cable grip as well as electrical and mechanical integrity can be maintained. This makes it an ideal solution for applications where extreme temperatures and conditions of vibration occur.

The C146 P16 001 G8 connector is suitable for use in multiple markets ranging from wireless infrastructure to industrial controllers. It has been designed to work in areas with temperatures as high as 400-600⁰C, and so is an ideal choice for applications where electrical connections must be made in extreme conditions. Its compatibility with wire crimping methods allows for excellent assembly speed, as well as exceptional performance and durability.

As part of the multi-metal design, the C146 P16 001 G8 connector utilizes a molded thermoplastic and polyolefin insulation for added security and temperature resistance. Its design also supports an insert arrangement that facilitates quick, reliable connection and constant contact of wire strands, which leads to superior electrical connection that is resistant to environmental effects. This also ensures that fewer contacts are needed for larger wire sizes.

In terms of its working principle, the C146 P16 001 G8 is composed of a shell, insert, insert nuts, nut and crimp barrel. The insert nuts, nuts and crimp barrels are all removable, allowing easy access for assembly and maintenance. In use, an insert nut and a nut are threaded onto the insert until the insert’s locking lugs make contact with the insert nut. As the nut is tightened, the locking lugs interact with a ratchet in the insert and, when fully tightened, the connector’s mechanical and electrical properties are established and the connection secure. This process, which is easily reversible, acts as a “key” and ensures that the connection made by the connector is always strong and secure.

The C146 P16 001 G8 connector is an advanced heavy duty connector, designed with performance, reliability and efficiency in mind. Its combination of superior materials, reinforcement and lockable contacts makes it perfect for use in extreme temperatures and harsh conditions, and suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
