TE Connectivity

High Current Contact The D-5000 series uses the same 'twisresistant' box shape contact as the rest of the Dynamic series contacts. The material is the same copper alloy developed for the D-3000 series with its superior elasticity and conducivity, which results in a reliable, robust contact capable of high current. Silver plating is also available for high amperage applications. The Sequential Mating means that the build up of static charge in the sequential contact is grounded first at mating. The long tab was developed for sequential connection of tab contacts. By using both this and standard tab contacts, sequential connectibility is enhanced. Tines (leads) for High Amperage The tines (leads) for on-board mounting are a newly developed twin-lead type. It is possible to reliably join patterns and connectors because a wide area of PCBs can be allocated. New V shape tines (leads) were developed for mounting on boards. Even though a lot of on-board connection space is needed, throughholes were made as small as possible to make pattern design easy (patent pending). IP20 (Protection from the approach of the finger) D-5300 is recomended for applications with a supply side in the IP20 apparatus. By using a housing on the apparatus side (panel side) which can accommodate the receptacle contact, the apparatus side connector meets IP20 rating.
