M1YXK-3636J

M1YXK-3636J is a type of rectangular cable assembly manufactured by Molex. It is a multipole connector, as it contains multiple pins in a row on both sides of the rectangular connectors. Unlike other connectors that have pins with a round or square shape, this connector has pins with an H-shaped design that helps the pins securely connect and easily disconnect. Furthermore, it is designed with the pins encased in a black thermoplastic housing and finished with matte-silver plating.

The M1YXK-3636J is primarily used for applications that require medium to high-power connections or that require multiple signal circuits to be transmitted through a single connection. For example, they can be used to transmit data signals in industrial machines, automotive systems, and communications systems with several high-power circuits.

The working principle of the M1YXK-3636J is based on the friction locks that are located on both the male and female sides of the connector. The connectors are designed so that the end of one of the pins will fit into a groove on the other side of the connector. This creates a snug fit that holds the connector together. The friction of the fit, combined with the weights of the connector and its pins, ensure that the two connectors will stay connected even if the cable is subjected to vibration or movement.

Furthermore, the friction locks also ensure a stable electrical connection as it prevents any contact between the pins from being lost due to bending or vibrations. This helps it work effectively in a wide range of motion and vibration and prevents an accidental break in connection, which can result in an unexpected electrical failure and costly downtime.

In addition, the M1YXK-3636J also includes a positioning tab on the female side of the connector. This tab is designed to ensure that the male and female sides of the connector are correctly aligned when mated. This feature prevents misalignment, which can cause improper connections and faulty transmission.

All in all, the M1YXK-3636J is designed to provide secure connections in medium to high-power applications and multiple signal circuits. Its friction locks and position tab help ensure that the connection is maintained and the pins stay aligned, allowing it to work effectively in a wide range of motion.
