OSTKG140080 Connectors, Interconnects

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets are commonly used in electrical sub-assembly operations to securely link two or more conductors. OSTKG140080 Headers, Plugs and Sockets are industrial-grade products constructed from a high-temperature thermoplastic and copper alloy designed to provide superior functionality and a longer life-span than comparable products.

Application Field

OSTKG140080 Headers, Plugs and Sockets can be used as electrical connectors, wiring harnesses, and/or as an incredibly versatile system for connecting two or more conductors. These products are ideal for factories, automation plants, and other industrial settings where permanent, reliable interconnection of electronic devices is necessary. Additionally, these products are often used in other industrial and consumer applications such as instrumentation, control panels, robotics, and medical equipment.

Working Principle

The OSTKG140080 terminal block utilizes a standard cavity-style design, featuring the highest quality snap-lock contact assemblies. The mating connection of the recepticle to the contact is made by an interference fit between two milled elastomeric flat strips inside the terminal block. This ensures a secure contact between the two parts while still allowing for quick and easy disconnection.

The OSTKG140080 terminal blocks are engineered with an integrated spring-cage contact system that increases the contact area, providing a reliable electrical connection for each mating pair. This design has an improved resistance to vibration and strain, making them ideal for industrial and other high-vibration applications. In addition, the terminal blocks are also RoHS, UL and CSA compliant, meaning they are safe for commercial and industrial applications, and provide superior build quality.

Conclusion

The OSTKG140080 terminal block is an extremely effective and reliable way to connect two or more conductors. It is UL, CSA, and RoHS compliant, making it an ideal choice for a variety of industrial and consumer applications. The snap-lock contact assemblies provide improved resistance to vibration and strain, and its installation process is made quicker and simpler by the interference fit between two milled elastomeric flat strips.
