Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are widely used in a variety of applications, from automotive electronics to industrial process control. 0015453318 is one type of rectangular connector, particularly designed for signal applications, such as controlling and monitoring activities, data acquisition, and communication. The 0015453318 rectangular connector is composed of a plug and a receptacle. The contacts are arranged in two rows and with two contact points in each row (usually top andbottom).

Application Field

The 0015453318 rectangular connector is particularly designed for signal applications that have space limitations. It provides an alternative to the14-pin and 16-pin DIP packages, with a smaller footprint and more efficient use of space. This type of connector is often used in automotive electronics, such as engine control and monitoring systems, as well as for communications equipment and industrial process control equipment.

The 0015453318 connector is also ideal for low-power signal applications, thanksto its lower contact current rating. Different versions are available for different applications, including versions for power supply applications, for industrial sensors and actuators, and for switchgear, among others.

Working Principle

The 0015453318 rectangular connector works according to a simple principle: contacts are arranged in a vertical row and then are connected into the plug receptacle. The connector receptacle contains an indicator and an internal locking mechanism to secure the inserted plug. A keyway in the plug engages the locking mechanism and a spring-loaded latch holds the plug in the receptacle.

When a current is applied to the contacts, the connector triggers a signal and the locking mechanism allows the plug to be removed from the receptacle. To secure theplug, the key has to be reinserted into the keyway, otherwise, the plug cannot be removed from the receptacle. This ensures a secure connection and reliably transfers data without interference from external sources.

In addition, some versions of the 0015453318 connector feature grounding contacts. These contacts provide a ground reference to ensure that data signals are free of interference. Grounding contacts are also used to improve the overall quality of the connection.

Conclusion

The 0015453318 rectangular connector is a reliable and efficient connector for signal applications with space limitations. It is available in different versions that are suitable for a wide variety of applications, such as automotive electronics, communications equipment, and industrial process control. In addition, the unique locking mechanism ensures a reliable connection, while grounding contacts are also available for additional shielding. It is therefore an excellent choice for any application that requires a secure and reliable connection.
