093445-1208

Rectangular Connectors – Housings are a type of connectors used for the electrically connecting cables to electrical devices such as actuators, sensors, switches, and other electrical components. The rectangular housing, which covers the connector, creates a protective shielding and prevents accidental contact to live parts. The 093445-1208 is a single-row rectangular housing connector with a 12 pins contact arrangement, which is designed for a range of applications. In this article, we will discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 093445-1208 is typically used in charging stations and other medical applications; however, it is suitable for a range of applications. This includes industrial controls, lighting, airports, automotive, high-frequency communication, outdoor, and in-wall use. The UL 94V-0 rated housing holds the contacts firmly, making it suitable for both board-to-board and over-molded hardwiring applications.

The housing is designed to meet standards such as DIN 40468 and DIN 41 502. It is also compatible with IEC 607-12 non-locking Raster, and Molex compatible part numbers suitable for usage in panel-mounted applications. The connector supports insulation displacement connectors and pin lugs for quick assembly and secure connection.

Working Principle

The design of the 093445-1208 connector includes a gland nut and split pins, which securely hold the contacts in place. The connector has two chambers – an upper and lower chamber. The contacts are held in place by the gland nut and split pins in the upper chamber of the connector. When the gland nut is tightened, the split pins are compressed against the contacts, creating a secure connection.

The contacts are held together in the lower chamber of the connector by a pair of stainless steel springs. The springs apply pressure to the contacts, creating a secure connection without the need for soldering. This secure connection ensures reliable electrical performance and minimizes the risk of electrical failure.

Conclusion

The 093445-1208 is a rectangular housing connector designed for a range of applications. It is UL 94V-0 rated and meets several standards such as DIN 40468 and DIN 41 502. The connector has two chambers, with the contacts held in place by a gland nut and split pins in the upper chamber and a pair of stainless steel springs in the lower chamber. This secure connection ensures reliable electrical performance and minimizes the risk of electrical failure.
