Application Fields and Working Principle of XS5U-3122 Contacts

The XS5U-3122 contact is designed for applications in which high voltages and currents are encountered. It is made of a highly durable metal and features a threaded latch system for secure mounting. This contact has a large, threaded mounting barrel that allows for easy installation into machined metallized plastic components.

Its electrical properties are outstanding, with an excellent electrical conductivity. This high conductivity allows for power transmission without inducing electricity movements, which can become a problem with other contacts.

The contact has a spring-loaded plunger mechanism that provides strong gripping power. This allows for a secure connection between two electrically charged components. Additionally, the contact has a built-in strain relief system that minimizes risk of damage to the connection by providing flexibility in the system.

The contact is also designed with a unique, orientation-sensitive design. This design allows it to be accurately positioned in the final assembly. This is extremely helpful in applications such as robotics, which require precise positioning of components.

The XS5U-3122 contact is also very reliable and can handle large amounts of power and load with minimal failure. The contact is rated to handle up to 600V, 16A, and stays cool even when used for high power applications. It is also very tough and durable, and is resistant to wear and shock.

Overall, the XS5U-3122 contact is a highly reliable and durable contact suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. With its high conductivity, strong gripping power, and orientation-sensitive design, it is easy to install and provides a strong connection between two electrically charged components.
