1-5147722-5

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are components used to interconnect two parts of an electronic circuit. 1-5147722-5 is a type of rectangular connector that meet commercial and military specifications. It provides higher power and current capabilities than similar products with similar volume and weight, and includes options such as low profile, waterproof, and completely sealed designs for use in different harsh environments. The application field and working principle of 1-5147722-5 connectors are described in this article.

Application Field of 1-5147722-5 Connectors

1-5147722-5 connectors are widely used in various electronics and are an ideal solution for applications such as aerospace, industrial, medical instrumentation, telecommunications, transportation, and other specialized applications. The features, such as high performance, fast mating, special design, military specification, excellent environmental sealing, etc. make these connectors suitable for demanding connection requirements.

The 1-5147722-5 connectors come in six different series with different features and densities, including high mating cycles, different locking systems (such as push-pull, flip-up, screw-down, and snap-in), low-profile design, as well as a wide variety of sizes and contact arrangements. These features make them suitable for many applications:

• Industrial: Automation, robotics, motion control, transportation, data acquisition, signal transmission, etc.
• Data and communication: Ethernet, Fiber Optic, USB, RS-232, CANbus, etc.
• Military/Defense: Avionics, Communications, Ground Support, Navigation, Weapons, Scientific, etc.
• Medical: Patient monitoring, Imaging, Diagnostics, Treatment, Robotics, etc.
• Aerospace: Missiles, Launch pads, Aircraft Maintenance, Navigation, etc.

Working Principle of 1-5147722-5 Connectors

The 1-5147722-5 connectors are circular or rectangular in shape, and they use a variety of contact systems, such as press-fit, screwed, or soldered. The type of contact system used will depend on the application. Once the contacts are connected, they can be secured by locking mechanisms such as screws, latching systems, or other such features.

The contact design depends on the application and could be female, male, or receptacle. The contacts are generally made from copper, aluminum, or stainless steel and can be either crimp, IDC, or PC Board mount. The contact is then either machined, stamped, or formed to the required size and shape.

The contact’s electrical characteristics and contact force depend on the application. The contact force is determined by the design of the contact, and electrical characteristics are determined by the number of contacts and the contact design. For example, an adapter type 1-5147722-5 connector can provide up to 16 contacts with current carrying ratings up to 15 amps and voltage ratings up to 500 volts.

The connectors can also have a range of environmental and EMI/RFI protection features built in, such as a molded-in strain relief grommet, wire mesh, ferrite beads, and shielding. These features help to maintain the connector\'s electrical integrity and provide additional protection against mechanical and environmental stress, such as corrosion and vibration.
