Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 0009524124 application field and working principle are applicable for all rectangular connectors and housing configurations for various applications. All rectangular connectors and their plastic housings allow one to make a variety of connections in order to route electrical and optical signals from one point to another.

Rectangular connectors and their housings are broadly used for signal routing, distribution and interface, power and electronic controls, and communication purpose. Multi-pin connectors and hoses may be used in the field of automation, wireless communications networks, commercial telecom equipments, voice and communication networks, medical diagnostic equipment, industrial control, and office machines among others.

The working principle of rectangular connectors and housings relies on contacts, in the form of pins or pre-wired wires with crimp termination or solder, that plug into sockets, and are secured by locks or latches for a strong, secure connection. Contacts may be configured with either standard polarised or non-polarised connections. When connected, contacts must be adequately protected against mechanical and environmental stress, otherwise accidental disconnection or corrosion can cause interruption of the current.

Rectangular connections are designed to withstand the environmental rigors of modern electronics. This is achieved by using materials with gold plating or tin plating to provide high level of electrical conductivity and keeping a low electrical contact resistance. In order to ensure the electric shock, environmental tightness, and corrosion resistance, the material is usually chosen as polyamide and PBT for the housing. The contact elements come in a variety of metal materials depending on the purpose of the connector. They are usually soldered or crimped into the mating housing.

The rectangular connector also sometimes come with threaded inserts that provides mechanical connection with the ground. This is especially critical for applications in telecommunications, audio systems or any applications that requires a stable electrical connection. It is usually made of plastic or metal and is either screwed or snapped into place.

The rectangular connector offers a cost-effective solution to the needs of all types of electronic equipment. It is also used in many industries due to its small size, insulation, and reliability. With its firm fitting design, it is an excellent solution for any type of application where a solid fit and reliable connection is a must.
