Heavy duty connectors are typically used for carrying more mechanical or electrical energy than regular connectors. They have to meet high present requirements, in addition to their ability to withstand higher wattages. T1911160140-000 is an example of such heavy duty connectors. This article explores its application field and working principle.

Application Field

T1911160140-000 is a heavy duty connector with a DC current-carrying capacity of 30 Amp. It is predominantly designed and used for communication applications, connecting power equipment and computer peripherals to PCs, laptops and other similar electronic gadgets. As it has a dependable locking system, these connectors are also suitable for use in public places such as airports, parks and other environments with pedestrian traffic. It is also considered to be an industrial-grade connector due to its robustness and safety features. The voltage rating of this connector is 250V, making it suitable for even the most demanding industrial sites.

Working Principle

The T1911160140-000 is a heavy-duty, bayonet-style contact/power connector. It is a 3-pole snap-in design, where the locking has a latching mechanism. Upon plugging in the contacts, the contacts are held firmly in place, and the latching action ensures that the connector cannot be disconnected inadvertently. As each contact has two metal parts embedded in two housings, when the connector is plugged in, the two parts of the contact are clamped by the plastic housing. This ensures that the contact is held firmly in place.

The contacts themselves are composed of two metal plates, and these are joined together by a plastic shell. One of the plates is connected to the ground and the other plate is connected to the pin on the connector. This ensures that the electrical connection is made and that a secure contact is made. The contact also has a mechanical seal which seals the electrical current when the plug is inserted into the socket.

The other components of the connector are the hoods, bases and housings, which all help to secure the contacts in place, as well as allowing for strain relief of the cable. The housings have an internal thread which allows for the screws used to secure the connector to be inserted.

Conclusion

The T1911160140-000 is a heavy-duty, bayonet-style contact/power connector. It is designed to be used in harsh and demanding environments and has been designed to withstand high wattages, as well as high present requirements. The robust housing, locking system and contacts ensure that the connector is secure and reliable and can be used in both residential and industrial environments. With its voltage rating of 250V and current rating of 30 Amp, it is a reliable and dependable connector for any application.
