RP19-SC-221

Circular Connectors - Contacts have become an essential part of many industrial, commercial, and military applications due to their robust, versatile design, and reliable connection. The RP19-SC-221 Connector Contact is a commonly used contact designed to provide maximum safety in a variety of applications, especially those in hazardous outdoor environments. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the RP19-SC-221 Connector Contact.

The RP19-SC-221 Connector Contact is designed for robust performance and reliability in industrial applications, including power distribution, lighting, machine control, and automation. Additionally, it is also suitable for applications in the medical sector. This contact is designed for use in hazardous wet and dry conditions, with an IP67 rating that ensures safe operation in temperature ranges from -55 to 125 degrees Celsius. This contact is made of anodized aluminum and is rated for 2.8A to 30A current capacity. Further, it offers superior corrosion resistance with its UL94V-0 flame-retardant insulation.

The RP19-SC-221 Connector Contact offers quick and easy installation, reducing the labor costs associated with installing larger, less efficient contacts. The contact is designed to lock securely in place, ensuring a safe, tight, and reliable connection. The contact uses a two-piece design, consisting of a male threaded barrel and a female threaded nut. To ensure secure connection, a locking nut is included to prevent unintentional loosening of the contact. The contact also has an external insulation adapter that provides an additional layer of IP-rated protection against moisture and dirt.

The working principle of the RP19-SC-221 Connector Contact is based on the “tapped hole” method. The contact is designed to integrate into a tapped hole, with the male barrel being threaded into the female threaded nut. The locking nut then secures the barrel and nut together, preventing any unintentional loosening. The barrel and nut are made of anodized aluminum, which provides superior corrosion resistance and a high level of electrical insulation.

The RP19-SC-221 Connector Contact offers a low-cost solution for a variety of industrial-level applications. This contact ensures a reliable connection with its two-piece design and locking nut, and can withstand extreme temperatures and hazardous environmental conditions. With its robust construction and corrosion resistance, this contact is an ideal means for establishing connections in even the toughest and harshest of environments.
