1-1564542-1 Application Field and Working Principle

1-1564542-1 rectangular connectors are one of the most versatile and widely used interchange connectors available, offering multiple configurations for a variety of different applications. Commonly referred to as either a single or double row, these connectors are employed in many applications ranging from telecommunications, automotive, medical, industrial, networking, and power conversion.The 1-1564542-1 is designed for wire-to-wire and/or wire-to-board applications, and is ideal for applications where the wire size is less than 16AWG and the wire strands are 14AWG or larger. The single and double row connectors have identical clamping force, but the double row versions offer two options for socket contacts.

The single row version features a single socket contact for a more concise connection with fewer contact points, whereas the double row version offers multiple socket contacts which provide additional contact points for increased security and reliability. Both the single and double row connectors feature protruding housings for easy handling, and robust contact retention for added safety. The housings are manufactured in a variety of materials, including zinc, brass or stainless steel, and the contact retention force is designed to meet or exceed IEC requirements.

The 1-1564542-1 rectangular connectors feature integrated locking mechanisms, which provide secure connections in applications requiring an increased level of durability. These locking mechanisms are designed to ensure that the connectors remain connected and secure during operation, even in harsh environmental conditions. The 1-1564542-1 connectors are also designed with rugged contact bodies and lancing prongs, which provide reliable contacts and provide extra protection against contact failure.

In addition to the locking mechanisms, the 1-1564542-1 connectors also feature convenient cable routing features, allowing for easy installation and simple configuration. The connectors are included with both female and male terminals, which are designed to accept a range of different wire gauge sizes. The terminals also feature integrated strain relief, which provide extra protection against wire fatigue and fraying.

The 1-1564542-1 rectangular connectors are designed to be used in applications that require reliable interconnects and efficient power transfer. The connectors are designed to be compatible with a range of different cables, and feature reliable connections with enhanced performance. The connectors are handled with ease, and allow for quick, straightforward installation.

The 1-1564542-1 connector is available in a variety of different configurations and sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. With its robust construction and secure connection features, this type of connector is ideal for environments that require reliability and performance.
