Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are commonly used in many electrical and electronic applications, and are typically the primary point of contact for connecting wires, cable or other components. Most rectangular connectors are either headers, receptacles or female sockets. This article will discuss the 102953-1 application field and working principle.

102953-1 Application Field

The 102953-1 is a DC power connector from the manufacturer Carlo Gavazzi. It is a heavy duty, reliable and safe header that is suitable for use in a range of industrial, automotive and consumer applications. It is particularly designed for applications that require vibration resistance and long service life in outdoor and harsh environmental conditions.

The 102953-1 is a single-shell connector series that is fully compliant with UL and CSA standards. It has a total of four volt power lines and four ground terminals with a 37.5A AC/50A DC current rating. The 102953-1 is available in a range of shell sizes, including 5.2mm, 7.3mm, 9.5mm, 11.6mm, 13.9mm, and 15.9mm. The connectors come with a wide variety of accessories, including mounting brackets, fixing accessories and mounting screws.

102953-1 Working Principle

The 102953-1 is based on the principle of moisture-resistant lock, which is achieved by using an extra O-ring seal between the mating contacts of the connector. This O-ring serves to ensure an air tight seal, making it suitable for applications where moisture and humidity may be present.

The 102953-1 also has a robust mechanical construction, with a screw or clip locking mechanism which ensures a secure and reliable connection between the contacts. The housing is made from zinc die-cast with a corrosion-resistant coating, making it suitable for outdoor applications. The contacts can be easily replaced, which further increases the versatility and service life of the connector.

The 102953-1 is a reliable, safe and easy to use plug and socket connector that provides a secure connection in a variety of applications. It is an ideal choice for harsh environmental conditions, and its robust construction makes it suitable for use in many industrial, automotive and consumer applications.
