SC000040

Circular Connectors - Contacts

SC000040 is a circular connector, designed to provide electrical connections between two pieces of equipment. The SC000040 connector is a mating connector with crimped contacts and is designed to be used in a variety of applications in industrial, commercial, and military environments. This family of connectors is capable of carrying up to 10 amps per contact and is UL approved.

Application Field

SC000040 connectors are suitable for a variety of electrical applications, including industrial automation, power distribution, signal transmission, machine tools, and motor control systems. They are also used in mobile connection applications, such as cell phones, manufactured laptops, and other portable devices. SC000040 connectors are commonly used in automotive, medical, marine, and avionic applications.

Working Principle

The SC000040 connector is a screw-lock connector, which uses threads to secure the connector to the mating device. This provides a strong connection, which is resistant to vibration, shock, and corrosion. The contacts are crimped onto a copper alloy wire or cable and are designed for electrical continuity and dependability. The contact’s material is also low-resistance and designed to maintain a low contact resistance throughout its lifetime.

When the male and female connectors are mated together, the electrical contacts are secured and electrical continuity is established. The SC000040 connector utilizes two spring-loaded index pins in the male connector which snap into two grooves in the female connector. This provides a secure mechanical connection between the two connectors and helps to prevent misalignment and accidental disconnection.

The SC000040 connector is easy to install and use, and it can be quickly connected and disconnected without the need for tools. The connector’s design also ensures that the contacts do not become loose during vibration and shock, thus providing an always-reliable connection.
