111359-1

Rectangular connectors are electrical connectors used to join two or more conductors together for the transmission of signals or power. As a kind of specialized connector used in wide range of application fields, the 111359-series rectangular connectors are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide secure contact with cables in a variety of applications. This article will introduce the application field and working principle of 111359-1 rectangular connectors.

Application Fields

The 111359-1 rectangular connectors are designed for a variety of applications including aerospace, medical, communications, cable harness, machine tool, and military applications. The 111359 series are suitable for connecting cables to each other in any combination of input and output requirements. Thanks to its unique construction, the 111359-1 can be used in conventional rectangular application such as junction boxes, protective boxes, and patch panels. In addition, they are currently used as the connector in UAVs, robots, and drones. In comparison to other types of connectors, the 111359-1 is particularly resistant to dust and liquid, which make it perfect for applications in harsh environmental conditions.

Working Principle

The 111359-1 is a type of electrical connector that consists of a plastic housing, a metallic contact, and a dielectric insulator. The housing is typically formed from ABS or flame-resistant UL94V-0 plastic material. It is designed to protect the contacts from moisture, dust, and other contaminants and also provides the mechanical strength needed to survive high vibration applications. The contacts are made from copper or metal plated with gold. This material provides low electrical resistance and high temperature endurance. The dielectric insulator typically consists of a soft rubber material, is used to provide electrical insulation between the contact and the housing, and helps attenuate EMI/RFI noise.

The 111359-1 connectors are usually mated and unmated using tool-less technology, or require a specific tool depending on the design of the connector. When mating the connectors, the contacts of the male and female connectors will come in contact and then are held securely together by the housing or by the keying feature. The housing is typically designed with seal openings so that when the connectors are mated, a water-tight and dust-tight connection is created.

In conclusion, the 111359-1 rectangular connectors offer secure connection for a variety of application fields, and are ideal for connecting cables in harsh environmental conditions. Its unique construction and materials offer superior performance, reliability, and durability when compared to other types of connectors. The 111359-series connectors are becoming a standard product used in many different applications.
