Rectangular Connectors are often used for applications which involve carrying a significant amount of current. The type of connector most used in this case is the WM-8P. This is a power connector with two parts – one of which has eight pins and the other a single pin. The single pin is also known as a ‘key’ which serves to guarantee that the right connection is made with the correct part.

The application field of the WM-8P is in the fields of air-conditioning units, LED lighting,medical equipment and other similar equipment where current needs to be carried. Depending on the application, it can be used to transmit and receive digital signals, power or optical signals over a specific distance.

Now, let us look at the working principle of the WM-8P. The working principle behind the connector is a simple one – the connector contains a module with eight contacts and one large contact, known as the ‘key’. When the connector is plugged in, the eight contacts transfer the current from the device to the corresponding points on the receiving device. The large contact ensures that the connection is only possible when the corresponding points on both devices are lined up correctly.

The WM-8P connector is designed to be durable and reliable as it uses a stable moulded plastic for creating the housing. The contacts within the connector are designed for a low-resistance flow and are gold-plated to reduce the effect of corrosion. The contacts themselves are more durable than conventional pin-type connectors as they are half-rounded which helps to reduce risk of wear and tear.

Furthermore, the direction-key makes sure that the connection is only achievable when the two parts face the right way. This helps to prevent accidental connection or damage due to polarity mismatch. Additionally, the combination of the gold-plating and the directional key makes this type of connector a preferred choice in applications that require lots of current to be transmitted and/or received.

To conclude, the WM-8P is a comprehensive and reliable power connector with a wide range of applications. Its stability and resilience ensure that it can handle significant levels of current and data transmission. Along with the gold plating, key directionality and the moulded plastic housing, the WM-8P is a preferred choice for both professionals and hobbyists in electronic and electrical applications.
