Disconnects for Use in High
Vibration Applications (Case 1)
Applications:
Equipment that produces high vibrations or is in close proximity
to sources of high vibration such as:
• Electrical motors
• Air compressors
• Pumps
• Commercial laundry equipment
• Transportation equipment
Customer Concern:
A manufacturer of commercial vacuum cleaners for coin-operated
car washes was having problems with reliability in high vibration
environments. This vibration caused disconnects to slip off the
male tabs, which caused internal arcing that damaged their
controllers, resulting in numerous service complaints for their
customers and downtime in the eld.
APPLICATION NOTE
Standard Non-Insulated Female Disconnect on
Left with High Vibration Disconnect on Right
Panduit Solution:
Insulated and Non-Insulated Vibration Resistant
Female Disconnects
Panduit developed vibration resistant female disconnect samples
for testing in this application. The solution required a higher
disconnect withdrawal force to overcome the failures caused
by the high vibration. As seen circled in the images on the right,
the samples that passed were designed without the curl slots to
increase the retention force between the curls of the female
disconnect and the male tab. This increased retention force
directly increased the frictional force, which ultimately delivers
a higher disconnect withdrawal force. The customer evaluation
of the new design showed that none of the vibration resistant
female disconnects slipped off the male tabs. Customer downtime
as a result of disconnects vibrating off of the male tabs has been
eliminated since implementation of this product.
Application Considerations:
Additional insertion force is required to properly install the
vibration resistant female disconnect onto a male tab 12.4 pounds
force (lbf) as compared to a standard female disconnect 7.9 lbf.
Additional withdrawal force is also required to remove the vibration
resistant female disconnect from a male tab 11.3 lbf versus a
standard disconnect 9.9 lbf. Customers should determine if the
additional force is acceptable in areas where the connection may
require removal for maintenance, repair or modications.
