Wire connector Weidmüller 1963600000 with Nickel/Gold plated contacts, IP20, pack of 10

Weidmüller 1963600000 connector pins are precision-engineered contact pins designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial and control equipment. These pins feature a robust nickel base with high-quality gold plating at the contact surface, which provides superior conductivity and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard unplated alternatives. Designed for use in protected, non-sealed enclosures with an IP20 rating, these pins are supplied in a convenient pack of ten and are engineered to perform consistently in demanding environments ranging from -40 °C to 70 °C.

Advantages

The combination of nickel and gold plating ensures stable electrical contact, significantly reduced contact resistance, and long-term protection against tarnishing and oxidation. Their standardized, compact form factor allows for seamless integration and easy replacement within compatible connector housings. By maintaining performance across a wide temperature spectrum, these pins are an ideal choice for control cabinets and various industrial automation devices where reliability is paramount.

Suitable for

• Electrical and electronic connectors in control cabinets and industrial automation systems
• Signal and low-power applications requiring corrosion-resistant contact surfaces
• PCB-to-wire or modular connector assemblies compatible with standard pin dimensions
• Maintenance, repair, and spare-part stocking for IP20-rated connector interfaces

When it may not be suitable

These pins are rated IP20 and are intended for use in protected, non-sealed environments. They are not suitable for outdoor use, high-moisture areas, or environments with significant dust exposure where higher ingress protection is necessary. Furthermore, they are designed for signal and low-power applications and should not be used for high-current or high-voltage circuits unless the specific connector system is explicitly rated for such loads.

Key specifications

• Contact plating: Nickel base with gold-plated contact area
• Ingress protection: IP20 (non-sealed)
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to 70 °C
• Package quantity: 10 pieces
• Application: Industrial and control equipment connector pins

How to use

Before installation, ensure that your connector housing or PCB footprint is compatible with the dimensions and pitch of these pins. Handle the pins carefully, ideally using clean tools or gloves, to prevent oils or debris from contaminating the gold-plated contact surfaces. Insert the pins into the designated sockets according to the connector manufacturer's assembly guidelines. Once installed, perform a check to confirm proper mechanical retention and electrical continuity, ensuring the assembly remains within the specified IP20 and temperature limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify mechanical compatibility with your existing connector housing or PCB layout
• Confirm that the IP20 rating and temperature range are appropriate for your installation site
• Check that the electrical ratings of the pins align with your specific current and voltage requirements
• Ensure the pack size of 10 units meets your project or maintenance needs

Usage recommendations

Store the pins in a clean, dry environment to maintain the integrity of the gold-plated surfaces. During assembly, avoid applying excessive force that could damage the contact points and always adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines regarding mating cycles to ensure long-term connection reliability.
