The 0439382202 is a rectangular connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity (TE). It is a specific type of electrical housing that is typically used in commercial and industrial applications. This particular part is a 2-piece housing with 5.08 mm centers and is pillared with an integrated guide.

This part is most suitable for use with a range of wire and cable sizes and complicated geometries. They are most commonly used in applications where electromagnetic interference (EMI) needs to be avoided, such as broadcast and video production. The TE 0439382202 is also designed with a double-ribbed feature that prevents transverse movement along with providing superior EMI protection.

Application Field

The 0439382202 is suitable for a variety of applications. Its best application field is in audio and video production where it can act to protect cables against interference. This rectangular-connector housing also works well in cages, junction boxes, and ground-level enclosures. Its double-ribbed feature also makes it a great choice for applications that require protection from vibration and movement.

The 0439382202 is also designed to provide superior EMI protection, making it a perfect choice for medical applications such as pacemakers and other electronic devices which require utmost reliability and a high level of protection. Beyond medical applications, this rectangular-connector housing can also be used in consumer electronics, car audio, and telecommunications.

Working Principle

The operating principle of the 0439382202 rectangular-connector housing is quite simple. The housing consists of two pieces: the housing and the contact. The housing acts as a base, while the contact provides the electrical connection between two electrical components. The contact is inserted into the housing and the two pieces are connected together, forming an electrical connection.

As stated before, this particular part is pillared, which means there is an integrated guide that helps with installation and alignment of the contact. This ensures that the contact is securely inserted into the housing without any risk of short-circuiting. The dual ribbing feature also provides a secure connection between the contact and the housing, preventing movement and vibration.
