Rectangular Connectors - Housings

0946-500-3401 rectangular connector is a clamp-style structure which is made up of an insulative housing and clamping levers. It is widely used in a plethora of industries including consumer electronics, automotive, computers and medical technology, due to its compelling features such as mating and latching stability, reliable contact formation, and ease of use.

Application Field

With its features and versatile design, 0946-500-3401 connectors are utilized in a multitude of applications. Some connecter utilizes a crimping or soldering contact termination type. It can be used in a wide range of electronic devices like consumer electronics, communication equipment, electrical wiring and circuits, computer networks, and automotive electronics. Thanks to its robustness and easy termination type, these connectors are also ideal for harsh environment applications such as aerospace, military, and maritime.

Working Principle

The working principle of 0946-500-3401 connector relies on the indexing pins and slots inside the insulative housing of the connector. When mating these connectors, the indexing pins of one connector go into the indexing slots of the other connector, which results in proper alignment and secure connection between them. Clamping levers fixed on the housing further hold the side walls secure so that the connection remains unshaken. If needed, additional locking features are also provided to enhance the reliability of the connection.
