The **KEPF-41P2-R** is a specific electrical terminal component, typically categorized as a **Quick Disconnect Receptacle (Flag Type)**. These are widely used in automotive, appliance, and industrial wiring for making secure, yet detachable, electrical connections. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the general technical parameters associated with this part number: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Flag Female Receptacle | | **Tab Size** | 6.35mm x 0.81mm (.250" x .032") | | **Orientation** | Flag (90-degree angle) | | **Material** | Phosphor Bronze or Brass | | **Plating** | Tin Plated (for corrosion resistance) | | **Wire Range** | Usually 0.5 - 2.0 mm² (approx. 20-14 AWG) | | **Termination** | Crimp style | --- ### 2. Key Design Features * **Flag Configuration:** Unlike straight terminals, the "Flag" design allows the wire to exit at a **90-degree angle** from the connection point. This is crucial for tight spaces where a straight connector would protrude too far. * **Safety Dimple/Detent:** The receptacle usually features a small indentation that "clicks" onto the hole in the male tab, providing mechanical retention to prevent accidental disconnection due to vibration. * **Material Composition:** Being made of tin-plated copper alloy ensures high conductivity while preventing the base metal from oxidizing. --- ### 3. Structural Breakdown | Part Component | Function | | :--- | :--- | | **Contact Area** | The "rolled" edges that grip the male tab to ensure electrical continuity. | | **Wire Crimp** | The section where the stripped copper wire is compressed. | | **Insulation Crimp** | An additional set of "wings" that grip the wire's outer jacket for strain relief. | --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Automotive:** Connecting to relays, switches, and fuse blocks in dashboards or engine bays. * **Appliances:** Internal wiring for washing machines, dryers, and ovens where space is limited. * **Power Supplies:** Terminating wires onto PCB-mounted male headers. --- ### 5. Proper Installation To ensure the electrical integrity of the **KEPF-41P2-R**, a specific crimping tool should be used. ```markdown 1. Strip the wire to the recommended length (approx 4-5mm). 2. Insert the wire into the terminal until the insulation hits the stop. 3. Use a ratcheting crimp tool designed for non-insulated terminals. 4. Verify the crimp with a "tug test" to ensure mechanical stability. ```
