1108706-2 Heavy Duty Connectors – Housings, Hoods, Bases

The 1108706-2 heavy duty connector is a ruggedized connector designed for use in a range of industrial applications, including but not limited to military, aerospace, industrial and telecom. The connector has a number of components, including the base, housing, and hood, which are designed to protect the terminations of the connector and provide easy access to the mating parts.

Base

The base of the 1108706-2 connector is the primary structural component of the connector and is responsible for ensuring the integrity of the entire system. The base is manufactured using a cut-up die-cast zinc-aluminum alloy, and has been given an IP66 rating, which makes it suitable for use in highly demanding environments. The base is designed to be corrosion and dust resistant, and features a recessed Gland nut which is threaded for sealing the connector. The Gland nut is designed to provide a tight seal for the device by creating a contact between the cable and the connector gasket. Additionally, the base of the 1108706-2 features a channel that is designed to receive the cable’s jacket.

Housing

The 1108706-2 utilizes a dual-stage housing design, which includes a die-cast top housing and a die-cast bottom housing. The top housing is designed to provide support and protection to the connector, while the bottom housing holds the cable and seals it against the base. The dual-stage housing design provides additional robustness and protection for the electrical contacts within the connectors. It also allows for the use of thermoplastic rubber seals and gaskets to ensure an additional level of protection against vibration.

Hood

The 1108706-2 features a die-cast hood which serves to both protect the connection from the elements and provide a visually appealing look. The hood has been designed to be lockable and IP66 rated to provide an additional level of protection and security for the connection. The hood is designed to be fully removable, allowing for quick and easy access to the internal components of the connector. Additionally, the hood is designed with ventilation slots to provide additional air-flow which helps to dissipate heat generated by the connectors.

Working Principle

The 1108706-2 connector utilizes a unique combination of components to provide a reliable and secure connection. The base of the connector is designed to provide a secure connection with the cable and provide protection from the elements, while the dual-stage housing provides additional protection for the connector’s internal components. The hood serves to provide a visual indication of the connection and protect from the elements while the Gland nut provides a secure seal between the cable and the connector. All of these components come together to form a reliable and secure connection able to withstand environmental conditions such as vibration and dust.

Application Field

The 1108706-2 was designed for a range of industrial applications, particularly ones with high vibration. The connector’s die-cast construction and rugged design make it well suited for use in military, aerospace, industrial and telecom applications. Additionally, the connector has been rated IP66, making it suitable for use in outdoor environments. With its secure connections and robust construction, the 1108706-2 is a reliable and secure solution for applications that require dependability and performance.
