1393558-4 Application Field and Working Principle

The 1393558-4 is a rectangular, two-piece connector system that is particularly suited to applications where space is at a premium. This connector system is made up of a connector & receptacle and an accessory. It is designed for high power and/or signal applications, such as for transmitters, transceivers or radios. It is also meant for use in rugged environments where vibration is expected.

Application field

The 1393558-4 rectangular connector system is ideal for applications in which space is limited. This includes automotive, industrial, marine, and avionics applications. It is also suitable for applications that require a low profile, high power or signal connector system.

Working Principle

The 1393558-4 consists of a connector and a receptacle, which is an accessory designed to secure and hold the cables. The connector is made up of two pieces that snap together with two plastic tongues that meet in the middle. The receptacle is designed to secure the cable to the connectors by use of two claws. The connector and receptacle are both fully-shielded to lessen the possibility of cross-talk and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The 1393558-4 is designed with two contact rings that ensure a secure connection. The inner ring is provided with two tomahawk-shaped slots to reduce cross-talk, and the outer ring is equipped with four sets of locking arms that provide additional security. A removeable dust cap protects the contacts from dust and debris.

When the connectors are mated, the two plastic tongues are pushed together until the locking arms securely clamp the two pieces together. The contact rings are also pushed together until the contact ring slides over the contact area of the receptacle. This provides a high-strength, vibration-resistant, and leak-proof connection. Once the two pieces are mated and the contact rings are locked, the connectors are ready to be used.
