PN22-6F-M

Spade connectors are terminals used to securely attach a component or cable to a mating surface without the need for additional tools. The PN22-6F-M spade connector is one of the most commonly used connectors in a variety of applications including those requiring a waterproof, corrosion-resistant connection. This type of terminal is composed of a two-part housing that has an in-line electrical connection between the two parts, allowing for secure and reliable connections in the most challenging operating environments.

PN22-6F-M Application Field

The PN22-6F-M spade connector is commonly used in applications demanding a reliable, low-maintenance electrical connection in harsh environments. For example, it’s often found in splash zones and those areas near coastal or marine environments. It’s also used in damp and wet conditions, such as industrial applications, commercial equipment, locomotive units, farmyard machinery, shipping containers, and components of other heavy industrial equipment. Additionally, because it has an integrated two-part design which allows for an in-line electrical connection, the PN22-6F-M spade connector excels in tight spaces that may not have the room for more traditional electrical connectors.

PN22-6F-M Working Principle

The PN22-6F-M spade connector is composed of two parts: a spade terminal and a spade housing. The spade terminal is a copper or brass plate with two outward-facing projections, or \'spades\', designed to interface with a mating surface. The spade housing is fitted around the spade terminal and is usually made of plastic or non-conductive rubber. This two-part design creates an in-line electrical connection, allowing for a secure connection with minimal space requirement. For additional security, the two parts of the connector can also be fitted with a screw to ensure the connector remains secure, even when subjected to vibration.

The PN22-6F-M spade connector has been designed to meet the NEMA 5-15 certification standard, making it a safe and reliable choice for any application requiring a waterproof and corrosion-resistant connection. The material used for the connector’s contacts—copper or brass—is highly corrosion-resistant, so it’s able to endure exposure to salt water and other harsh conditions. Additionally, the spade housings are made of a non-conductive rubber or plastic which can protect the electrical connection from moisture and dirt.

Conclusion

The PN22-6F-M spade connector is a popular choice for a variety of applications because of its secure and reliable connection, as well as its ability to operate in the most challenging environments. Its two-part design allows for an in-line electrical connection between the spade terminal and the spade housing, resulting in a waterproof and corrosion-resistant connection. This connector is UL and NEMA 5-15 certified, making it safe and reliable for applications where a reliable, low-maintenance electrical connection is required.
