Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 1-647401-9 is rectangular connector from the family of connector housings. These connector housings are designed to provide secure and reliable connection between two or more conductors in electrical equipment, from consumer devices to telecom and datacom applications. The 1-647401-9 is commonly found in industrial control system, wire-to-board, wire-to-wire and board-to-board connections. It is made from a UL 94V-0 approved, polyamide material and has metal foot. It is well-suited as a mounting device for wiring connection systems.

Application Field and Working Principle

The main application field for the 1-647401-9 connector housings is for industrial control systems that need secure and robust connections. It works by providing insulation for the connections between conductors. It helps to reduce failure rates in the circuits due to its tight clamping force and ensures that the electrical connections remain stable. The 1-647401-9 also helps to reduce the risk of electric shocks when handling equipment, as there is less risk of electrical contact between conductors and any other surfaces.

Pros and Cons

As with any products, the 1-647401-9 has both advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages are that it is made from a UL 94V-0 approved, polyamide material, it securely holds components together and prevents mis-oriented connections through its tight clamping force. Its disadvantages are that it does not have any grounding tabs, meaning that there is no electrical connection between conductors and any other surfaces, as the connector is not grounded.

Conclusion

The 1-647401-9 connector housings is a great solution for industrial control systems that need secure and robust connections. It is made from a UL 94V-0 approved, polyamide material and contains metal foot. It is an ideal solution for wire-to-board, wire-to-wire and board-to-board connection systems. The 1-647401-9 connector housings prevents electric shocks for consumers, while at the same time reducing failure rates in the circuits. It has a few drawbacks, such as a lack of grounding tabs, however this can be solved with the proper grounding technique.
