Rectangular Connectors - Housings come in several types due to their versatile application fields and working principles.

D-Sub Housings are designed for D-Sub connectors which are normally in pairs, consisting of a male and female connector also known as plugs and sockets. They are mainly used to connect computers internally, such as for keyboard and mouse connections. Alternatively they can also be used for external purposes such as modems and instruments.

RJXX Housings are used for the registered jacks which are primarily used in telecommunication. A registered jack is an interface for connecting a single line using telephone wiring. Their main application is the connection of voice and low speed digital communications between two entities. There are four types of registered jacks: RJ11, RJ12, RJ13 and RJ14.

MS/Mini-Universal Housings are used for the MS/mini-universal connectors which are widely used in telecom and electrical applications, such as audio and power supplies. MS/mini-universal connectors are normally comprised of a female plug and one or two male plugs, or one or two female sockets. They have a special design which allows them to be easily installed and their contact mechanism, ensures secure and steady connections.

RDH/MIL Housings are designed for combining multiple connectors. They are mainly used in applications such as vehicle related, automotive, military and defense which are application fields which are often subject to harsh environment conditions. RDH MIL housings feature a fixed position with environmental and mechanical seals.

RH/MIL Housings are specifically designed for applications which involve shock and vibration due to their self-aligning design and their environment sealing feature. They allow for a maximum amount of connection with precise port alignment and are used mainly for railway and ship communication systems.

Rectangular Connectors - Housings are manufactured by a number of companies, each of them providing a range of different types, designed for various purposes. It is important to select the one best suited for the application. All of them are based on the same principle which works as follows: two sliding contacts fit into each other through an open window on the housing. The contact can then be inserted into the connector, with the sliding contact mechanically securing the connection.
