1318716-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Part number 1318716-1 is a rectangular connector housing that is designed to provide electrical and mechanical connection solutions. It is available in 2 or 4 positions. The rectangular connector comes with a polarized plug and receptacle that ensures secure mating protection. The part is also designed with a quick-connect pin and socket structure that makes connecting and disconnecting quick and easy. This feature allows users to easily change out cables or devices when necessary.

The rectangular connector has both front and rear mounting options for easy integration into a variety of applications. The housing is manufactured using high-grade thermoplastic material that ensures durability and resistance to temperature, chemicals, and impact. A molded or overmolded strain relief helps protect internal components from wear and tear over time. The strain relief also helps reduce stress on wire connections when the connector is used in vibration-prone environments.

When used in heavy-duty applications, 1318716-1 rectanguler connectors can provide reliable performance. They have a high contact force that ensures secure mating. The contact surfaces feature gold plating to provide low contact resistance. The connector is rated up to 6 amps and 250 volts and can operate in temperatures ranging from -25 to 105 degrees Celsius.

The rectangular connector is designed for use in a variety of electronic applications. It is commonly used to make connections between devices, such as TVs, computers and audio equipment. The part also finds application in automotive electronics, medical equipment, industrial machinery, robotics, monitoring systems and more. It is also frequently used to connect peripheral devices and provide power supply to embedded systems.

The working principle of the rectangular connector is relatively simple. To create a connection, the plug is inserted into the receptacle, with the key matched. This triggers a switch, which connects the two parts of the housing. Electrical current then flows through the contacts and establishes a connection. When disconnected, the switch releases the connection, and the current stops flowing.

The 1318716-1 rectangular connector housing provides reliable performance for a range of applications. The part is manufactured with high quality thermoplastic material that ensures durability and resists temperature, chemicals, and wear. Its quick-connect pin and socket structure makes connecting and disconnecting quick and easy and its gold-plated contacts provide low contact resistance. Whether used in automotive, audio, medical or heavy-duty applications, the part provides reliable performance.
