Rectangular Connectors - Housings

0194180018’s Application Field and Working Principle

A rectangular connector is essentially a combined connector and housing that usually contains industry standard terminal with a rectangular shape. The 0194180018 is an example of this type of connector and is designed to provide a great level of protection for the connector and conductors while ensuring that the connection is secure and reliable. To provide this level of protection, the 0194180018 has features such as side and bottom mountings, a keyed cover design and an insulated lid.

The 0194180018 is primarily used in the automotive industry, specifically for interior applications such as in instrument clusters and under-dashboard electronics. Due to its construction and design, it is often used in high vibration applications where circuit board module protection is required. The 0194180018 is also popular in the communication industry for its reliable connection and features like EMI/RFI shielding, current limiting, and power filtering which help provide excellent cable strain relief and protection. This makes it an ideal choice for use in communication networks and other applications where there are high levels of electrical noise.

The 0194180018’s working principle is based on its design. It features a self-aligning profile that makes it easy for the connector to seat and mate effectively with the mating connector. The housing’s internal design helps to ensure an effective electrical connection by evenly distributing any force exerted on the connection in all directions. The internal polarity of the contact fingers and rivets helps to prevent any mis-wiring of the connector, as it will only mate with the receptacle in the correct orientation. The insulation lid provides 360-degree EMI/RFI protection which helps to reduce the risk of interference and crosstalk.

The 0194180018 is also designed with crimp contacts, rather than screw contacts. This makes the connector much easier to work with and install. In addition to this, it also provides a higher electrical connection that cannot be obtained by the screw type connector. The contacts are designed not to exert excessive force on the wire or terminal under normal use. The contact surface is designed in such a way that the contact forces do not exceed the contact force specified for the connector.

In conclusion, the 0194180018 is a reliable and effective rectangular connector housing that is suitable for a variety of applications in the automotive and communication industries. Its simple design and self-aligning profile make it easy to install, while the internal design distributes force evenly and the insulation lid provides excellent EMI/RFI shielding to reduce the risk of interference and crosstalk. Furthermore, the crimp contacts provide a higher electrical connection and do not exert excessive force on the wires or terminals. As such, the 0194180018 is a great choice for a wide range of applications.
