Working Principle

The 967624-3 rectangular connector housings consist of a shell and receptacle made out of metal and plastic materials. The shell typically houses a socket and plug that interconnects conductors. The plug and socket ensure a secure connection that is resistant to vibration and physical contact. The shell is designed to protect the delicate contact pins and provide a reliable, high-voltage rated connection. The shell provides a secure seal against dust, moisture, and other environmental impacts.

The contact pins also play an important role. They establish an electrical connection between the plugged device and the internal circuit. Made out of copper alloy, contact pins are plated with gold, tin, or silver to protect them from corrosion and oxidation. This ensures a long-term reliable connection.

The 967624-3 rectangular connector housings come in various sizes and shapes, but all employ the same basic principles. In addition, these connectors are designed to have a high current-carrying capacity, enabling them to be used in a variety of applications. They are also engineered to have high environmental resistance and secure connection.
