1438129-2

Rectangular Connectors - Housings comprise a range of modular, general-purpose plug-in housings that are suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The 1438129-2, a 2-position male housing, is designed for use as part of a wiring interconnection system; it provides sustained reliability and efficient signal transfer in demanding environments. This article provides an overview of the 1438129-2’s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 1438129-2 is designed for use in electrical systems in which a field housing is required. It is commonly found in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including computer systems, manufacturing equipment, and other networking and digital communication systems. It can be used with other modular components—such as headers, plugs, crimp contacts, and seals—to provide long-term reliable electrical performance.

Working Principle

The 1438129-2 modular housing works by connecting two signals through a positive locking mechanism. It provides latching action that ensures secure mating between two components; it also ensures no electrical misconnections occur. This latching mechanism also prevents vibration or shock from loosening connections between components.

The housing consists of a body, contact supports, and contact blocks, which connect directly with the contact inserts in the housing. The contact blocks are composed of resilient copper alloy that provides durability and stable electrical contact. They also provide secure hold to the contact inserts for vibration-proof connections.

The mating system of the 1438129-2 ensures good EMI/RFI shielding performance. In addition, the contact blocks prevent the loss of power during operation, and they are designed to provide resistance from corrosion and metal fatigue.

Conclusion

The 1438129-2 is a robust, reliable rectangular connector housing solution that provides long-term performance in a variety of industrial environments. It features a positive locking mechanism that ensures secure mating and vibration-proof connections. Its contact blocks are made of durable copper alloy that ensures stable electrical contact and resists corrosion and metal fatigue. It is an ideal choice for use in many commercial and industrial applications.
