DF1-12A1.05 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular DF1-12A1.05 connector is designed to provide reliable and robust connections for a range of applications. The electrical connection between the two plugs is ensured by the copper alloy contacts. It is suitable for fixed or continuous motion applications due to its high-performance locking system, which requires up to 0.7Nm of torque to lock and up to 0.2Nm to unlock.

The rectangular connectors of the DF1 family offer a comprehensive range of signal and power contact and cover from wire to board, car-to-board, board-to-board and board-to-cable connections. These versatile connectors are compatible with industry standard connectors, which means they can be used with any existing system and can easily be replaced in the event of failure.

Working Principle

The working principle of the DF1-12A1.05 connector is based on the electrical contact between the contacts and the contact points. The contact points are made of copper alloy and have a silver plating to ensure a reliable connection between the two circuits. The contacts are held in place by the rectangular shell of the connector, which needs to be pushed onto the contacts and then secured with screws.

When two connectors are mated, the electrical contact between the contact points completes the electrical circuit. The contacts are not only used to make the electrical connection, but also to ensure the mechanical load on the connector is within the specified limit. The contact points also have a higher mechanical load-bearing capacity than the insulated wires used to make the connections.

Application Field

The DF1 family of rectangular connector is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive, instrumentation, testing and medical applications. These connectors are designed to provide reliable and robust connections for many different types of applications, such as signal transmission and power supply. The connectors are also suitable for applications with repeatability requirements where frequent connection and disconnection is required.

In addition, the DF1-12A1.05 connector is designed for applications in harsh environment such as high temperature or corrosive atmosphere. The contacts are designed to handle mechanical and thermal shock as well as electrical and magnetic interference. As a result, these connectors can be used in environments with strong external vibration, high voltage, and electromagnetic interference.

The DF1 family of rectangular connectors is also designed for use in a wide range of applications beyond the automotive sector, as its versatile design and multiple contact configurations make it suitable for a variety of connecting needs. These connectors are well suited for high current applications such as power distribution and transmission, as well as for pluggable and modular systems. Furthermore, these connectors are also able to provide protection against dust and water, making them suitable for use in many outdoor applications.
