1604897-4

Rectangular Connectors - Housings have a variety of applications in industrial, military, and aerospace applications. One of the most popular rectangular connectors families is the 1604897-4. This family provides reliable connections and is ideal for incorporating into machinery and other electromechanical devices.

The 1604897-4 is a modular-style rectangular housing connector that consists of a main housing, a removable lid, and three primary components—terminals, strain-relief accessories, and mounting hardware. The terminal inserts are made from high-strength, highly conductive materials and feature optional lacing options for increased retention. The strain-relief components are constructed of tough, non-conductive thermoplastics with integral retention features to secure the terminal.

The main housing of the 1604897-4 consists of two sections—an upper section and a lower section. The upper section is made of die-cast zinc or aluminum, and it captures and retains the terminals that make up the electrical and mechanical connection. The lower section is molded plastic and includes lids and mounting hardware.

The main advantage of the 1604897-4 is that it provides high-power connections and signal integrity. The connectors are designed to protect against corrosion, vibration, and shock. The corrosion-resistant design enables the connectors to withstand extreme temperatures and other environmental conditions. The connector has relatively low contact resistance and excellent EMI shielding for high-frequency applications.

The 1604897-4 contact design is optimized for crimping, allowing for extremely secure connections. It has a large contact area, which provides a reliable and robust connection. The connector is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, which helps reduce the installation time. It also allows for quick mating and unmating of the connector components.

In terms of applications, the 1604897-4 is suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, medical, and instrumentation. The rugged design of the connector makes it suitable for harsh environments, and it is ideal for applications requiring high pin-count or miniaturization. The connector can also be used in the automotive industry, where it is primarily used for wire harnesses and sensor connections.

Overall, the 1604897-4 is an ideal solution for applications requiring robust, reliable connections in harsh environments. The modular design of the connector makes it easy to assemble and disassemble, while the large contact area and corrosion-resistant materials provide excellent signal integrity. The compact size and high pin-count capabilities make the connector suitable for miniaturized device applications. The connector is also widely used in the automotive industry, where it is primarily used for wire harnesses and sensor connections.
