1379668-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

1379668-1 is a rectangular connectors that feature a special housing. It has a mated height of only 7.3 mm, making this one of the thinnest rectangular connectors on the market. The housing is also very easy to assemble as it comes with support slots that have been designed for zero-insertion force drivers. Interruptions between the connector’s back shell and the grounding contacts are also eliminated with this housing design.

Application Field

The 1379668-1\'s slim design is suitable for use in vehicle harnesses, consumer electronics, wiring systems, and other tight spaces. It offers enough space for circuit protection, power or signal continuity. It is also an ideal solution for rear-mounted and external applications where profile considerations are paramount.

Working Principle

1379668-1 housing is made out of insulated thermoplastic, which is resistant to temperature cycling. It has a mated height of only 7.3 mm, which enables thin profile applications and also allows for a secure mating with plugs of similar sizes. Contacts are securely engaged in the contact area to maintain reliable contact performance. The carrier and contacts have been designed to reduce electrical and environmental susceptibility.

1379668-1’s design also ensures increased cost savings due to its simplified processes. The housing can be molded directly onto cables, eliminating assembly and adjustment steps in the production process. The robust construction of the housing and contact assure long life performance for many applications.
