PTC30DAFN Application Field and Working Principle

The PTC30DAFN series is a kind of rectangular connectors categorized as headers, male pins, produced by manufacturer Phoenix Contact. These connectors have broad application fields such as industrial automation, traffic and building automation, medical application, work piece detection etc. It provides a cost-effective contact connection solution to fulfill the requirement of high-density contact and high number of connected pins. This series also provides a choice of special design features, making it easier to meet a variety of customer-specific requirements.

Product features

• Compact design
• Excellent contact force and crimp stability
• Very high cross-talk immunity
• Easy part identification with embossed coding
• Easy to assemble

Working Principle

The working principle of the PTC30DAFN series connector is based on a contact spring technology. The contact force is generated by the contact springs. A latch is employed to ensure a secure electrical connection. Two contact spring arms provide the contact force which is applied on the mating contact. If a force is applied that exceeds the normal contact force of the contact springs, the latch will be engaged and the contact force is increased in turn. The contacts are thereby locked in place and the electrical connection is ensured.

When used in a connector, the spring contact is inserted into the housing first and then the housing is inserted into the mating connector. The contact forces of the contact springs increase and hold the connector contact firmly in the mating connector.

The male contact pins feature a unique spring contact technology which enables energy, signal, and data pins to be connected in one connector. This technology ensures a reliable connection and ensures safe and secure signal and data transmission.

Performance

The PTC30DAFN series are designed to meet high-performance requirements. They feature a high contact force and low insertion force, which ensures a secure electrical connection. The connectors also offer excellent cross-talk immunity, which ensures that electrical signals are transmitted clearly and accurately.

The connectors are designed to last a long time, and their robust design ensures that they are able withstand a wide range of environmental conditions. They meet military-grade specifications, and can be used in harsh environments. The contacts are also highly resistant to corrosion. They are also designed to prevent damage due to vibration and shock.

Conclusion

The PTC30DAFN series is a kind of rectangular connectors falling under Headers and Male Pins classified by Phoenix Contact. It provides excellent contact force, high cross-talk immunity, thus making possible reliable connection between energy, signal and data pins, which enables safe and secure transmission of electrical signals. It is designed to meet high-performance requirements and a wide range of environmental conditions. Therefore, the PTC30DAFN series are ideal for industrial automation, traffic and building automation, medical application, work piece detection etc.
