172130-2

172130-2 is a type of connector terminal housing that belongs to the category of terminals – housings, boots. Generally, according to the applicableiec standards, 172130-2 housings can accommodate up to 24 terminals. 172130-2 housings are designed for use in the industrial and instrumentation control device enclosures and are suitable to be mounted to panel boards.

172130-2 housing consists of two parts. The base part is a unit that contains the terminals and the contacts that the device needs. The upper part, called the cover, fits over the base part and forms a complete housing unit. 172130-2 housings come in two versions, each with different terminal sizes, styles and construction materials, which are dependant on the application field.

172130-2 housings can be used in a variety of different application fields, such as electrical and electronics, automotive, power and communications. The application field may depend on the kind of terminals fixed in the housing such as receptacle, adapter or even PCB terminals.

The working principle of 172130-2 housings is fairly straightforward. The cover part of the housing is designed to keep firmly and securely attached to the base part. The terminals, also contained in the base, are designed to make a proper electrical contact with the contacts as they fit into the housing. The springs provide a reliable electrical contact of the terminals with the contacts and also prevent the rotation of the terminals.

The 172130-2 housings provide a highly reliable type of protection for devices and their related electronic components such as those found in the application fields mentioned above. They are designed for better performance and to resist shock and vibration. They are also resistant to dust, humidity and some types of chemicals, making them suitable for use in hazardous and corrosive environments. They can also be equipped with a range of protective and interlock features, such as a cap, or an insulation sleeve.

In summary, 172130-2 is an type of connector terminal housing used in various application fields for electrical and electronics, automotive, power and communications. The working principle of 172130-2 housings involve the cover firmly and securely attaches to the base and the connection of the terminals and contacts into the housing, securing a reliable electrical contact. In addition, this type of connectors provides protection against shocks, vibrations, dust, humidity and chemicals as well as providing protective and interlock features.
