Working Principle
The M85049/55-18W uses a threaded coupling nut to make a secure connection between two connectors. The threading of the coupling nut is designed to ensure a tight, reliable and vibration-resistant connection. The contact pins are gold plated and ensure a secure electrical connection. The gold plating also aids in corrosion resistance and increases the durability of the connector.
The contact points and the connectors are sealed with silicone rubber gaskets to protect them from environmental exposure and moisture. The connector also has a protective screw sleeve to shield the threads and protect them from debris and contamination. Lastly, the connector features a special self-locking mechanism that helps maintain a tight connection between the two components and prevents loosening due to vibration or shock.
Conclusion
The M85049/55-18W is a versatile circular connector that is used in both Military and industrial applications. The connector is designed for high vibration resistance and offers a reliable connection. With its threaded coupling nut and special self-locking mechanism, it is perfect for applications that require a secure connection in both low and medium dependence applications. It is also waterproof and features gold plated contact points for increased durability and corrosion resistance.
