CTX50 34905 Series, Rectangular Connector Contacts

Rectangular connector contacts are crucial components found within connectors, serving as male, female, or non-gendered terminals. These terminals are specifically designed for use in connectors that feature a rectangular shape at the mating end of the device. Rectangular connector contacts come in various forms to accommodate different connection requirements. Some common types of contacts include blade contacts, board-in contacts, female blade sockets, non-gendered contacts, pin contacts, socket contacts, split pin contacts, and tab contacts. These contact types provide specific functionalities and are selected based on the design and application needs. Rectangular connector contacts are available in a range of wire gauge sizes to ensure compatibility with various wire thicknesses. Wire gauges typically range from 1/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge), which is suitable for heavy-duty applications, to 36 AWG, which is much finer and used in more delicate electronic devices. These contacts play a critical role in establishing electrical connections between mating connectors. They provide a secure and reliable interface for transmitting signals, power, or data between devices or systems. The selection of the appropriate rectangular connector contacts is essential to ensure proper mating, optimal conductivity, and overall system performance. In summary, rectangular connector contacts are diverse terminals utilized in connectors with a rectangular mating end. They come in different forms and wire gauge sizes, catering to various connection requirements and wire thicknesses. These contacts enable efficient and effective electrical connections in a wide range of applications.
