Rectangular Connectors - Contacts
Rectangular Connectors - Contacts
Definition:
Rectangular Connectors - Contacts are precision-engineered conductive components designed to establish secure electrical connections within rectangular connector housings. These contacts serve as the critical interface for transmitting power, signals, or data in modular connector systems, ensuring reliable performance across industries such as automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
Product Types:
This category encompasses multiple contact configurations to meet diverse application requirements:
- Pin Contacts: Male-type contacts for insertion into corresponding sockets.
- Socket Contacts: Female-type contacts designed to receive pin contacts.
- Crimp Contacts: Contacts terminated via crimping for high mechanical stability.
- Solder Contacts: Contacts with solder tails for PCB mounting.
- High-Current Contacts: Heavy-duty variants for power transmission.
Materials range from phosphor bronze and beryllium copper to gold- or tin-plated finishes, optimizing conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Purchasing Recommendations:
1. Current Rating: Select contacts rated for at least 125% of your application s maximum current to prevent overheating.
2. Plating Type: Gold plating excels in high-frequency/low-voltage applications, while tin suits cost-sensitive, high-durability environments.
3. Compatibility: Verify contact dimensions (e.g., .025", .040", or metric sizes) align with your connector housing.
4. Certifications: Prioritize UL, IEC, or MIL-SPEC compliance for mission-critical systems.
5. Supplier Expertise: Partner with vendors offering technical support for material selection and custom tooling.
Investing in quality contacts reduces insertion cycles, minimizes signal loss, and extends connector lifespan critical for reducing total cost of ownership in high-volume deployments.
