151218-7422-RB

Rectangular connectors, consisting of headers, male pins, form an important part of a variety of electrical and electronic devices. As such, the 151218-7422-RB connector, manufactured by the American company TE Connectivity, is no exception. Versatile, reliable and simple to install, this connector is widely used in industries such as industrial automation, lighting and power electronics.

Features and Benefits

The 151218-7422-RB connector provides several advantages to users. Its design combines a header that mate with rectangular pins that have an enhanced gap to maintain a secure connection. In addition, the connector allows for high repeatability and accuracy when mating and un-mating the components. Additionally, the device is also engineered with an integrated strain relief component designed to prevent excessive cable flexing, offering additional support and durability in demanding industrial applications. Furthermore, the headers and male pins have advanced and optimized features to reduce risk of short-circuits, thereby eliminating potential hazards posed by moisture or dust.

Application Field

The 151218-7422-RB connector is designed to be used in several applications, including industrial automation, lighting, power electronics and more. Its high reliability makes it suitable for use in commercial and industrial settings, where occasional changes in connection may be required.

Due to the reliability and robustness of the connector, it is well-suited for applications that require resistance to strong vibration and jolts, as well as high temperature stability. Additionally, the device is also ideal for applications in which protection from disturbing currents is highly beneficial, such as motor drives, robots and other industrial equipment.

Working Principle

The 151218-7422-RB connector uses a header and male pins to ensure reliable, consistent connections. When the component is mated, the header slides over the male pins, creating an electrical connection. The pins are then mechanically preserved in the holder as the spring force of the holder increases the insertion force of the pins in the headers, ensuring they are perfectly secured and prevented from becoming detached while in operation.

The connector is designed to be used in combination with other compatible wiring devices, including protective covers and self-adhesive seals, allowing users to connect several cables of the same type without needing to buy several adapters. Additionally, the device is also designed to reduce the amount of wiring needed, which further lowers cost of installation and maintenance.
