OSTHW04B050 Datasheet/PDFOSTHW04B050 Application Field and Working Principle
The OSTHW04B050, also known as a DK terminal blocker, is a miniature electrical connector designed for use in a variety of industrial control and automation systems. It offers users a great degree of flexibility and reliability when it comes to making quick and reliable electrical and signal connections between their devices. This terminal blocker is capable of handling a wide range of signals, including data lines, power lines, signal lines and optical fiber cables. It can be used in a variety of industrial environments including those with high-voltage, high-current and high-temperature applications.
As its name suggests, the OSTHW04B050 is a four-position terminal blocker. It features two insulated housing blocks, one with four operating contacts and one with four connection spring blocks. The four operating contacts form four passageways, each with two contacts to make contact with the two spring blocks. The two spring blocks serve as an electrical barrier between the two housing blocks, providing excellent electrical and mechanical protection.
The working principle of the OSTHW04B050 is based on the physical interaction between the four operating contacts and the spring blocks. To establish a connection, the operating contacts must be forced into contact with the two spring blocks. This physical contact then creates a low-resistance electrical loop, allowing current to flow between the two spring blocks. As the operating contacts are displaced downward, the contact resistance increases and the amount of current being transmitted through the loop decreases.
The OSTHW04B050 can be used in a variety of applications in which a secure and reliable connection is needed. It is particularly well-suited for connection of various industrial control and automation systems. Its small size and low cost make it suitable for applications in which a greater number of connections must be made. It is also capable of providing a good degree of protection against electrical shocks and mechanical stresses, making it ideal for use in rugged industrial environments.
The OSTHW04B050 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for making quick and reliable electrical and signal connections between industrial devices. Its four operating contacts and spring blocks provide a secure and reliable electrical connection which can be easily maintained and serviced. With its small size and low cost, it is well suited for a variety of industrial control and automation applications.
