The **JAPD2-3P-R** is a specific type of electrical connector, typically used in industrial and automotive applications. It belongs to a series of compact, heavy-duty connectors designed for reliable power and signal transmission in harsh environments. ### Technical Specifications and Overview | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Rectangular Power/Signal Connector | | **Number of Positions** | 3 Pin (3P) | | **Termination Style** | Crimp or Solder (depending on specific terminal inserts) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle (indicated by the "-R" suffix) | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount / PCB Mount | | **Material** | High-temperature thermoplastic housing | --- ### Key Components and Design Features #### 1. Housing Material The body is usually made from **PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate)** or similar glass-filled nylon. This provides excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring the connector doesn't warp under high heat. #### 2. Right-Angle Configuration (-R) The **"-R"** suffix signifies a right-angle design. This is critical for: * **Space-constrained applications:** Allowing cables to exit parallel to the board or panel. * **Strain relief:** Reducing the vertical stress on the solder joints or mounting points. #### 3. Contact Mechanism The "3P" refers to three distinct poles. These are often silver-plated or gold-plated copper alloy to ensure low contact resistance and prevent oxidation over long periods of use. #### 4. Locking Mechanism Most JAPD series connectors feature a **locking tab** or "click-lock" system. This prevents the connector from vibrating loose, which is essential in automotive or industrial machinery environments. --- ### Common Applications * **Power Supplies:** Connection points for internal AC/DC modules. * **Industrial Automation:** Sensor connections and motor controllers. * **Automotive Electronics:** Lighting systems, auxiliary power, and sensor modules. * **HVAC Systems:** Control board to motor interfaces. --- ### Schematic Representation (Simplified) ```text [ Housing ] (1) ----[Pin]----┐ (2) ----[Pin]----|--> 90-degree Exit (3) ----[Pin]----┘ ```
