Rectangular Connectors - Housings

A 0348993011 housing is a type of rectangular electrical connector that is typically placed on a PCB board. This type of connector is widely used in electronic equipment in a vast range of applications. It is a simple, reliable and economical solution for board-level and interconnecting/relocation applications.

Specifically, the 0348993011 housing is suitable for applications where significant board real estate or space is available. It offers versatility and convenience in that it is easily accessible for assembly and rework from both top and bottom. It is also suitable for systems where module removal and installation is common, due to its outstanding durability which ensures corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

The 0348993011 housing is composed of 2 distinct components, the housing and the inserts.

The housing is manufactured from a special material such as polyester and has a box-like design. The box comprises two parallel walls connected by two perpendicular walls on either end, forming a cross-sectional profile resembling a rectangular box. It contains multiple cavities in its center, into which a mating insert is inserted for making electrical connections. The walls of the housing serve as the electrical contact points for the mating insert. Do to its box-like design, the 0348993011 housing is also known as a beryllium- and tin-block casing.

The mating inserts are composed of copper alloy and serve two main functions. They provide electrical connection, and they secure the housing to the printed circuit board. They are designed to fit securely into the cavities in the housing, and are available in a variety of configurations. They can be single-piece, multi-piece, and split-piece depending on the application.

The 0348993011 housing and mating inserts are joined after the insertion process. The insert locks into the housing, which is then secured to the PCB. There are many different methods used to attach and secure the housing to the board. These include soldering, welding, and press-fit technology.

The working principle is simple. When the insert and the housing are joined together, the electrical contact points of the insert and the walls of the housing are in contact. This allows an electrical signal to pass between them, providing the connection needed for the system. The connections made by the 0348993011 housing/insert are reliable and can withstand vibration and shock as well as a variety of different environmental factors.

The 0348993011 housing is a reliable, economical and versatile solution in a wide range of applications. Its durable construction allows it to withstand harsh environments, while its box-like design ensures easy access and assembly and rework from both top and bottom. Its mating inserts can be custom designed to meet the requirements of the specific application and provide the necessary electrical connections.
