Rectangular Connectors – Accessories - 1604905-1 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are accessories used in multiple types of electronic applications. The type 1604905-1 is a strain relief system which provides environmental protection and ultimate reliability. It is designed primarily for the assembly of D-subminiature connectors.

Field of Application

The type 1604905-1 relief system is used in many specialized applications including military and aerospace applications, computer, entertainment and multimedia, telecom and communication, industrial, consumer and medical electronics. It is also suitable for use in hazardous environments.

Working Principle

The type 1604905-1 relief system consists of a plastic housing, aluminum backing plate and mounting hardware. The housing is designed to fit over, and protect the housing of a D-subminiature connector. The aluminum backing plate serves as a base to secure the connector within the housing. The mounting hardware is used to secure the strain relief system to the desired application.

The strain relief system provides environmental protection and ultimate reliability to the assembly it is mounted on. The housing of the strain relief system allows for the connector, as well as the wires connected to it, to be secured and protected from corrosion, impact, dust, vibration and other environmental factors. The relief system is designed to keep the wires in place and secure, preventing breakage and wear and tear from continued use. It also serves to limit any accidental disconnects from the connector and ensure reliability of the electrical connection.
