1705949-1

Modular connectors were created for use in telecommunications standards of the 1960s in Europe. Modular connectors are divided into two categories – jacks and plugs. Jacks, or female connectors, are the receiving end of a connection, and plugs are the transmitting end. Jacks, specifically the 1705949-1 variant, is a four-contact terminal, symmetric and matable field connector designed to receive a jack-type plug. The 1705949-1 jack is widely used in many modern electronics applications.

Application Field

The 1705949-1 is a heavy duty modular jack widely employed in applications today. It is designed for solid or stranded conductors; however, the most common use today is with stranded conductors. This highly versatile device has an efficient, reliable design that is optimal for specific conditions. The jack is particularly employed in applications where high-density placement on a board is required. This is due to its tiny size and its conformance to Miniature 50/125µm fibre optic standards.

Common uses of the 1705949-1 modular jack include telecommunications, computer technology, and aviation engineering. Its lightweight, flexible construction lets it handle high frequencies easily and is suitable for use in high-speed pulse transmission. Its unique design makes it perfect for use in rapidly changing switching applications such as Power over Ethernet and carriers such as AT&T.

Working Principle

The 1705949-1 jack features an integrated collet with four contact elements for incoming and outgoing signal transfer. The collet is designed to ensure a reliable connection with the mating plug. It is secure enough to protect against any shock, vibration, or motion. The contact elements are contained within a plastic insulator that is designed to reduce the risk of contact exposure.

The contact elements are made of highly conductive material such as gold or silver-plated brass. The design of the contact elements ensures that the electrical and optical transmit power is more than adequate. The assembly of the contact elements, collet, and insulator provides a secure, reliable connection that is safe and reliable even in harsh operating conditions.

In addition to its reliable performance, the 1705949-1 jack is also designed to be easy to assemble and install. It features nickel-plated free jack retainers that make the installation process fast and easy. The assembly also features plastic strain reliefs which ensures no accidental disconnection while reducing the risk of strain on the connector. Finally, the internal LED strip is used to indicate connectivity.

The 1705949-1 jack is an efficient, reliable choice for many modern electronics applications. Its small size and versatile design make it ideal for high-density placement on a board. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as telecommunications, computer technology, and aviation engineering. Its easy to install design is designed to reduce the assembly time and ensure a secure connection.
