M18-10R/LK Application Field and Working Principle

The M18-10R/LK terminals are ring connectors which are suitable for supplying power to motors, power grids, and other equipment. They are manufactured with multiple safety features to ensure reliable connection, even in challenging environments. Additionally, they have a wide variety of application fields and a broad operating range for diverse industries.

Materials and Contact Construction

The contact element of the terminal is composed of a silver plated copper alloy material which is suitable for a variety of temperatures and resistances. The contact is shielded by a silicone rubber insulation cover which protects against sparking and oxidization. On the outside of the insulation cover is a zinc die-cast housing that is corrosion and vibration resistant, providing additional mechanical protection. The two parts are connected using a series of four components: a ferrule, a terminal body, a locking ring, and a spacer.

Operating Characteristics

The terminal’s operating temperature range is -25 to 105 °C, which is suitable for most industrial environments. It is rated at a current of 16A and voltage of 250V, and has a contact resistance of less than 1 mΩ in 500 mating cycles. The M18-10R/LK is also UL approved and meets the NEMA WD-6 requirements.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation of the M18-10R/LK terminals is easy and can be done without any specialized tools. First, the installation body is inserted into the installation hole and then the cover is placed onto the body. The spacer is then inserted into the body followed by the terminal nut and screw. Finally, the locking ring is attached to the outer cover with a hex wrench. Once the terminals are installed they should be checked regularly for signs of wear and tear, and if necessary, the contact elements can be easily replaced.

Working Principle

The working principle of the M18-10R/LK terminals involves a simple transfer of electric current from one part of the terminal to the other. First, the contact element is forced into one of the two parts of the terminals, either the male or the female. This contact is then securely held in place thanks to the silicone rubber insulation cover and the zinc die-cast housing, which provides additional insulation and mechanical protection. Finally, the electric current is transferred from one part of the terminal to the other through the contact element and is safely held in place. This method is extremely reliable and safe, making it suitable for a variety of application fields.

Conclusion

The M18-10R/LK terminals are a reliable and versatile solution for a variety of industrial applications. They are easy to install and maintain, with multiple safety features for reliable operation. Additionally, they have a wide operating temperature range, which makes them suitable for challenging environments. With their simple working principle, they are an ideal solution for supplying power in motors, power grids, and other equipment.
