1-87025-3

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 1-87025-3 is a rectangular connector manufactured by the Allied Electronics company. It is used for power and signal connections in both consumer electronics and industrial applications. This article will cover the application fields and the working principle of this connector.

The 1-87025-3 can be used in various application field such as computer and electronic components manufacturing, instrument panel making, household appliances/appliance, automotive, audio/video equipment, and even industrial robotics. Its simple design yet reliable metal threaded studs make it suitable for any sub-assembly applications. It is also designed with an easily removed protective cap to seal out dust and moisture, thus eliminating the need for additional gaskets and covers.

The connector is also capable of handling multiple signal types. Through its two-piece housings, signals can be carried for both differential and serial communication. The eight contact points of the connector are also suitable for carrying power, allowing up to 8A of current. This is beneficial for applications that require both power and data exchange in a single connection.

The 1-87025-3 is also known for its ability to carry high-frequencies. With wire sizes from 24AWG down to 28AWG being usable, the connector is ideal for applications that involve high-frequency signal transmission. This includes applications from LANs to audio/video systems.

The connector is composed of two main parts: the housing and the contacts. The housing is made of durable plastic to ensure long life and maintain the connections, while the contacts are made of inexpensive conductive materials. The connectors are designed to mate with each other by pushing the two parts together. The mating parts are secured together by metal threaded studs. The threaded studs provide a tight grip on the two parts, ensuring that the connection is stable and reliable.

The 1-87025-3 connector has a special feature—it features a four-position keying tab. This tab stops the connector from mating incorrectly, preventing damage to the contact pins. This feature is especially useful for installations that require a consistent setup to maintain the performance accuracy.

In addition, all contacts of the 1-87025-3 are rated to a maximum of 8A. This makes the connector suitable for applications that require both power and signal to be transmitted simultaneously. Aside from that, the connectors are also rated for temperatures from -40 Celsius up to +105 Celsius, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. This makes it an ideal choice for situations in which the connectors may be exposed to extreme temperatures.

The Allied Electronics 1-87025-3 rectangular connector is an ideal choice for applications that require a reliable, high-frequency connection. With its simple design, durable housings and contact pins, as well as its protection against incorrect mating, it makes a great choice for many application fields, such as instrument panel making, audio/video equipment, and more. Its ability to carry both power and signal in the same connection makes it ideal for those applications as well.
