● The thicker the wire, the less the current is reduced due to internal resistance, allowing higher current to be supported. Moreover, because the resistance is decreased by using a thick wire, it's possible to reduce the generation of heat. In addition, the wire also has a role in expelling heat from inside the connector.
● Connectors generally have a great number of circuits (number of cores), so the carried current becomes reduced. Also, the higher the ambient temperature, the more the carried current will be reduced. (See graph)
Removal Tools For Universal/MATE-N-LOK Connectors
Brand :
MISUMI
Caution
Product Description
Extraction tool that minimizes the load when extracting contact
● Used when pulling out the already mounted contact of the universal MATE-N-LOK connector again from the housing. Regardless of contact size, or whether it is male or female, this one tool can pull them all out.
● Weight: 60 g
● Manufacturer: Tyco Electronics
· Once extracted, the contact cannot be used again.
· Other series connectors cannot be used.
Specifications
Features
● Universal MATE-N-LOK connector is a compact nylon connector that is compliant with UL and CSA standards at 600 V, and the VDE standard at 380 V.
● Because there is directionality for both the socket and the plug, correct coupling to the connector body can be always performed.
● Because the housing can be mounted regardless of the contact gender, incorrect insertion of male and female contacts is prevented. (Note 1)
● Because the housing uses UL94V-0 compliant nylon material with excellent durability and safety, it is considered to be a suitable connector even for use in FA equipment.
● PRO-CRIMPER can be also used for crimping various nylon connectors by simply exchanging the die.
It is also economically superior since there is no need to buy an expensive dedicated tool.
● UL No.E28476
