1-87025-0

Rectangular Connectors - Housings are a common type of physical connection used for various electrical and electronic purposes. The type of connector most commonly referred to as a ‘1-87025-0’ is a combination of two distinct halves, a housing which contains multiple terminals and a mating part or plug, which provides the electrical connection. The 1-87025-0 is an industry standard rectangular connector designed to provide the required reliable connection in applications where data transmission or power must be conveyed in a secure and well-defined way between two or more components.The 1-87025-0 comes in two varieties, a female connector, usually made of black plastic which contains contacts and terminals in its interior wall of the housing and a second male connector, usually made of metal which fits into the female connector making electrical connection between the two. The male connector is typically in a metal half of the 1-87025-0 housing and is designed to be screwed into the female connector, ensuring a secure connection.The 1-87025-0 connector comprises of two parts, the housing and the mating part or plug. The housing is made from multiple pieces of insulating material and the terminals are typically made of copper or gold plated brass. There are a variety of configurations available with the 1-87025-0 connector including the number of contacts and terminals, pins length, area of insulation, as well as number of overlay variations. For example, the 1-87025-0 has different overlays for a number of standard configurations such as the 12 pin configuration or terminals layout.The most common application for the 1-87025-0 connector is in the automotive industry, as it is suitable for multiple connections of wires and cables in engine compartments and in dashboard applications. It has also become increasingly popular in consumer electronics such as connectors used in gaming consoles, audio/video equipment, and musical instruments. The 1-87025-0 is also increasingly being used in industrial applications such as smart meters and robotics where reliable connections are required.The main advantage of the 1-87025-0 connector is that it is designed to be able to withstand high temperatures and provides high levels of moisture and dust protection. The connection established between two points is also secure as the male connector is secured with screws which prevents disconnection, and the connector does not require any additional soldering or wiring for assembly.The working principle of the 1-87025-0 connector is such that upon insertion of the male end into the female end, the contacts on the male connector come into contact with the electronic terminals of the female connector, creating an electrical conducting path between the two connections. This type of connection is also referred to as a ‘dumb’ or ‘passive’ connection because the contacts do not require any external source of power or control signal for operation. The connection is simply established when the components are mated together.In conclusion, the 1-87025-0 connector is a reliable and cost-effective connection solution that is becoming increasingly popular in a range of applications due to its ease of use and versatile design. Its simple and secure connection method, as well as its inherent durability properties makes it ideal for a variety of applications, ranging from automotive through to consumer electronics and other industrial applications.
