1460170

Heavy Duty Connectors - Housings, Hoods, Bases

The 1460170 connector housing is a heavy duty connector designed to meet the stringent requirements of industrial and military applications. Made of rugged thermoplastic or steel, this connector series features an easy to use insert/housing system and a large contact capacity for wires up to 66 AWG. The 1460170 connector is also extremely durable and offers superior protection against moisture, dust, and other environmental conditions.

Housings for the 1460170 connector are available in two different models – the standard housing and the heavy-duty alternative. The standard model is available with either molded UL 94V-0 thermoplastic or ferrous material. The heavy-duty option offers more superior protection from mechanical vibration and shock, while also providing extended temperature range and better chemical resistance. Both models are also reinforced with a UL94V-2 rated sleeve.

The 1460170 connector is based on a two-piece, push-wire mechanism. The push-wire mechanism consists of a wire shell and an insert that are mechanically secured to each other when the connector is mated. This connection system allows for simple and reliable connection of wires and cables. Additionally, the system ensures secure contact retention, increased shock resistance, and enhanced environmental protection.

The 1460170 also includes a variety of optional accessories such as hoods, bases, and terminals. The hoods provide additional protection against mechanical, electrical, and environmental exposures. The bases help to organize and support the connector and provide strain relief for cable assemblies. Finally, the terminals provide increased current capacity and are available in either pluggable or solderable designs.

Overall, the 1460170 is an excellent choice for industrial and military applications due to its rugged construction, reliable connection mechanism, and superior protection against harsh environments. The two models of housings and optional accessories offer flexibility and versatility, making the connector ideal for applications requiring robust and reliable power connections.
