FN376-6-21

Power entry connectors are used in a variety of electrical applications, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial equipment. In particular, FN376-6-21 is an AC power entry connector used for general industrial equipment and power tools. They are designed to provide an interconnection for AC supplies and are rated up to 16 A 250 V. The interconnector has a flexible strain relief that offers a secure connection between the enclosure and the connector.

The FN376-6-21 power entry connector consists of a male and a female part. The male part contains a thrust block, which is connected to a 2-pole or 3-pole terminal block. This part is also equipped with a 2-finger lock which prevents the cable from being pulled out and ensures a tight mating. The female part has a flange which offers a strain relief for the cables and also protects against over insertion. The interconnector also includes a latching mechanism which provides a positive locking and prevents any rotation of the connector.

The working principle of the FN376-6-21 power entry connector is based on the 2-pole or 3-pole terminal block. The terminal block works by providing a connection point between the power supply line and the equipment. When the interconnector is mated, a positive electrical contact is created and this ensures that electricity can flow from one side of the connector to the other. Additionally, the latching mechanism ensures that the connector is securely locked and prevents any unintentional disconnections.

In conclusion, the FN376-6-21 power entry connector provides a secure connection for a variety of electrical applications. It is rated up to 16 A 250 V and is equipped with a 2-finger lock and a latching mechanism, which provides a positive locking and prevents any rotation of the connector. The interconnector also utilizes a 2-pole or 3-pole terminal block which creates a connection point between the power supply line and the equipment and ensures that electricity can flow from one side of the connector to the other.
