PV18-38R-C

As a leader in Terminals - Ring Connectors solutions, Panduit Corp presents the PV18-38R-C - a high-performance terminal connector developed for next-generation power distribution systems. This innovative component combines cutting-edge materials science with precision engineering for unparalleled reliability in renewable energy applications.The Circular design incorporates advanced stress-relief geometry that extends service life. Computational modeling shows 50% reduction in mechanical fatigue compared to traditional designs.Precision-engineered for 3/8 Stud compatibility, this terminal features a dual-contact system. The redundant contact points ensure continuous conductivity even under vibration.The 0.032" (0.81mm) specification has been optimized for high-current applications. Material analysis confirms uniform grain structure for consistent electrical performance.With 0.530" (13.46mm) dimensions, this connector achieves optimal balance between current capacity and space efficiency. The flared design prevents insulation pinch during installation.The 1.190" (30.23mm) measurement includes integrated strain relief features. This design prevents conductor fatigue at the termination point, extending cable life by 3x.The Free Hanging (In-Line) configuration enables tool-less installation in field applications. The snap-fit design maintains secure connections without requiring specialized equipment.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector creates gas-tight interfaces. The cold-welding effect produces joints with conductivity equivalent to solid metal.Designed for 18-22 AWG conductors, this terminal features adaptive compression technology. The self-adjusting contact pressure accommodates wire strand variations.The Insulated system provides triple-layer protection against environmental factors. Accelerated aging tests demonstrate 25-year performance in harsh conditions.Incorporating Brazed Seam, this connector exceeds industry standards for durability. The patented contact geometry reduces insertion force while increasing pull-out resistance.The Red coding facilitates quick identification in complex wiring harnesses. High-visibility pigments meet SAE J578 chromaticity requirements.Fabricated from Copper, the contacts exhibit exceptional thermal conductivity. This property enables continuous operation at 150% rated current for short durations.The Tin plating provides superior corrosion resistance in salt fog environments. Testing shows no measurable degradation after 500 hours of exposure.
