The connectors are constructed from tough and durable thermoplastic materials, offering superior tensile strength and excellent electrical performance. This makes the 1-1718643-1 connector system ideal for a wide range of applications.

Application Field & Working Principle

The 1-1718643-1 connector system is typically used in a variety of industrial settings, such as for the assembly of instruments and electronic devices, industrial control, power distribution and streetlight systems, and in many automotive applications. It is also widely used in data and communication applications, such as high-speed point-to-point connectivity. This versatile connector system has earned its place as the standard for reliable and secure multi-pole connections.

The 1-1718643-1 connector system uses both push-on and snap-in contacts to create reliable and secure connections. The push-on connection is achieved by inserting one or more contacts into the female contacts, which are designed to offer superior retention force and dependable electrical contact. Push-in contacts, also referred to as "sno-plugs", are designed for easier and quicker installation and removal than push-on contacts, as they can be inserted or removed without tools.

In addition to the electrical connection, the 1-1718643-1 connector system also offers superior mechanical strength and vibration resistance. The housing is constructed from durable thermoplastic material, such as Delrin and Lexan, and is designed to offer superior strength and resistance to impact. Additionally, the connector system includes mounting provisions for secure panel mount applications and housings that are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions.

The 1-1718643-1 connector system is also designed with easy and durable locking mechanisms that provide superior retention force. Push-on contacts are designed with locking tabs or lugs that ensure secure contact engagement and retention without the need for tools. Snap-in contacts are molded with integral locking latches that engage the inner walls of the female contacts for secure locking and provide superior retention force. Additionally, the locking latches are designed with apertures that provide additional reinstatement points, which provide additional retention and help to ensure secure connections over time.

The 1-1718643-1 connector system offers superior performance and reliability in a wide range of applications. Its construction from thermoplastic materials and its durable design offers superior electrical, mechanical, and environmental protection. Additionally, its easy and secure locking mechanism ensures dependable connections in high vibration and extreme environmental conditions. This makes the 1-1718643-1 connector system the ideal choice for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and communication applications.
