Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors are available in three primary types – shells, housings, and inserts. Each type has its own specific purpose and unique characteristics. Housings are the main component of a rectangular connector and provide the fundamental support within the connector. These components typically feature two or three exterior, parallel walls, between which internal elements can be mounted.

The 1376360-1 is a rectangular connector housing that can be used in a variety of application contexts. It is designed to meet the specifications of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, and it is made from anodized aluminum alloy for improved durability and protection against exposed environmental elements. It is available with two values for internal ground contacts, and it is provided with a cadmium-plated aluminum alloy insert. Additional protection is provided by the presence of seals on the external walls.

In order to take full advantage of the 1376360-1’s features and performance, it is important to understand the working principles of a rectangular housing connector. These connectors feature an interior cavity, which is used to mount the various pins, terminals, or components necessary for completing the circuit. These components are all protected by the external walls of the housing, which ensure electrical safety. Additionally, the interior cavity walls help to minimize the risk of short circuits or other electrical malfunctions due to misalignment or incorrect component placement.

Once the components are properly fitted within the housing, they are connected to the sockets, terminals or pins. The connection is made either through soldering or thermally activated methods. After the connection has been made, the additional wall seals can be put in place, providing extra protection against external elements. Depending on the type of connector, the seals may be removable or permanent.

The 1376360-1 rectangular housing connector has been designed to meet the exacting standards of the MIL-DTL-38999 Series I. This durable and reliable connection has been tested and proven to perform in both extreme heat and cold temperatures. It has also been developed to handle extreme shock and vibration conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications – from military and aerospace, to electronics, medical, and industrial.

Overall, the 1376360-1 connector housing is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient electrical connection solution. Its construction, placement, and seals provide superior protection throughout the application, and the internal components ensure the efficient functioning of the connection. When the 1376360-1 is combined with the other components of a rectangular connector, it ensures a safe, reliable, and easy-to-use connection that meets the needs of a variety of different application requirements.
