EP501A

Barrel - Power Connectors are widely used in various consumer electronics, such as computers or handheld devices. EP501A is one of the most dependable barrel power connectors available, providing a reliable connection for industrial applications as well. To explain exactly what EP501A is, it is important to understand the more general concept of barrel-power connectors.

Introduction to Barrel-Power Connectors

Barrel power connectors refer to a type of electrical connector commonly used to provide power in small, reusable gadgets. These types of connectors are also known as plug-in connectors, and include variations such as banana plugs, DIN connectors, and pin jacks. These connectors are usually utilized to transfer energy, data, and signals in a safe and convenient way.

The most popular type of power connector is the cylindrical-type barrel-power connector, which consists of two parts: a male plug and a female receptacle. Both are designed to fit each other. The male plug generally contains three metal pins that are connected to the power source, while the female receptacle contains three metal contacts which fit into the corresponding slots in the male plug. When connected, the contacts in the male plug are electrically coupled to the contacts in the female receptacle, resulting in a reliable and efficient transfer of power.

Application Field and Working Principle of EP501A

EP501A is a patented cylindrical-style barrel power connector that has been designed for use in industrial and consumer electronics systems. It offers improved performance over conventional connectors by providing improved electrical performance and higher power dissipation. The EP501A can handle transfer of power up to 600Vrms. The contact resistance of the EP501A is rated at 10mΩ and the insertion force is rated at about 7N.

The EP501A connector is ideal for applications that require a reliable connection and tightly sealed joint. It is designed with an ergonomic design which allows it to be used in tight spaces. The interior of the EP501A is molded into a nylon shell for improved stress distribution. This allows the connector to remain strong and durable even after extended periods of use.

The EP501A utilizes a three-way locking system to ensure a solid connection. The locking system consists of a spring-loaded latch, a taper-grip latch and a locking clip. The locking clip applies external force to the sides of the plug to ensure a tight connection. The taper-grip latch applies torque to the plug to further secure the connection. The spring-loaded latch is responsible for the retention of the plug, and also prevents any accidental disconnection of the plug.

The EP501A is also equipped with a wide variety of features such as RoHS Compliance and ingress protection (IP65/IP67) which allows it to be used in wet environments. The plug and receptacle each have three holes for watertight connections. Additionally, the plug has several vent holes to help prevent any moisture from entering during operation.

In conclusion, the EP501A is an ideal barrel-power connector for industrial as well as consumer-level applications. It provides a reliable connection due to its three-way locking system as well as its IP65/IP67 ingress protection rating. The EP501A can handle the transfer of power up to 600Vrms and has a contact resistance of 10mΩ , making it a dependable and efficient power connector.
