104656-7 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular connectors are widely used in a variety of applications including instrument panels, electronic flex cables, and communications systems. The 104656-7 connector is designed for use in an industrial environment and offers a robust, reliable connection for vibration-resistant, resistor-free data and power transmission.

Connector Overview

The 104656-7 rectangular connector is a 2-pos. 3-pin design, with an overall size of 14.5 x 12.7 x 9.3mm. It is a low-profile surface mount connector, featuring a metal shell, double-sided contact mating, and a positive-latch locking system. It is rated for 12A and 250V, and has a temperature range from –55°C to +125°C. The connector is available with either gold- or silver-plated contacts.

Application Field

As a rectangular connector, the 104656-7 is well-suited to applications where a robust, vibration-resistant electrical connections is needed. The connector is particularly designed for industrial environments, such as factory automation and process control systems. It is also suitable for use in other applications, including instrumentation, audio systems, and communications systems. Its low-profile design makes it ideal for use in limited-space applications.

Working Principle

The 104656-7 connector utilizes double-sided contact mating to ensure electrical contact between the pin and socket. The connector features a positive-latch locking system, with two locking hooks on the sides of the connector for secure attachment. The hook latches in place with a click. When the connector is disengaged, the latch is released and the connector can be removed.

The 104656-7 connector is designed for easy assembly and re-use in industrial applications. The connector isterminated with crimped-on contacts, and is designed to withstand up to 10,000 mating cycles. The metal shell and locking system provide additional vibration resistance and ensure reliable contact.

Conclusion

The 104656-7 rectangular connector offers a robust, reliable connection for industrial applications. Its low-profile design makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications where space is limited. The double-sided contact mating and positive-latch locking system provide vibration-resistant electrical connections and ensure reliable contact. The connector is rated for 12A and is designed for up to 10,000 mating cycles.
