Resources When selecting a push-pull self-locking connector, engineers often focus on the connector size, contact number, rated current, voltage, locking mechanism and protection rating. However, the material used for the internal insulator is also important.
The contact surface is one of the most important parts of a connector. It is the area where the male and female contacts physically touch and transfer electrical current or signals.
A push-pull connector is not complete when the housing and contacts have been selected. The contacts must also be connected correctly to the cable, wire harness or circuit board.
