Heavy Duty Connectors - Contacts

What are Heavy Duty Connectors - Contacts?

Heavy Duty Connectors - Contacts are electronic components for the connector, designed for voltage and current transmission to be used with power equipment. The metal contacts can come up with either pin, typically called male, or socket female. Heavy-duty electrical connectors like Han D, Han-Com, and Han-Modular inserts are utilized with power connector contacts. Enrgtech offers a wide selection of connector contacts in different wire diameters, platings, and contact materials.

Choosing the Suitable Connector Contact

When choosing the best power contact for your applications, several things must be considered. Electrical power connectors primarily make use of extreme voltages and potential currents, so potential care needs to be considered to have a strong connection across the platform.

• Amperage and voltage - Which variety of industrial connectors will be suited will depend on the current carrying capacity of the connector and the contacts going through the circuit. The configuration of your connector and the total number of contacts must be carefully studied because heat will be generated by the contacts.
• Wire size - The contact's size and the maximum safe current it can support will decide the wire size. AWG or CSA will be used to quote wire sizes. The conductors may carry greater current when the wire size is larger.
• Plating - On connection contacts, several plating materials, including gold and silver, are used. The conductivity of the connection, as well as its longevity and resistance to corrosion, will be impacted by the plating substance.
• Termination Type - Typically, heavy-duty terminals are crimped onto wires with a crimping tool of the proper size. This approach guarantees a more trustworthy ending. It's also possible to solder some terminals.
