172233-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors, also known as rectangular electrical connectors, provide a broad range of signal and power connections for applications in both industrial and commercial settings. A commonly used form factor in these connectors is the 172233-1, which is used to connect three connectors – two plugs and one receptacle – into a single component. This type of connector is particularly well-suited for applications requiring high density and reduced profile space.

Application Field
The 172233-1 connector is a robust and reliable option for a range of commercial and industrial applications. It is ideal for applications where there is limited space; the connector\'s smaller size ensures that it takes up less space in the system, making it suitable for tight spaces. Additionally, the connector is designed for high-speed applications, making it suitable for high-density data transmission. The connector can be used in a variety of settings, such as in computers, automotive, telecommunications, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics.

Working Principle
The 172233-1 connector, like other connectors, consists of two plugs and one receptacle. The receptacle pin is inserted into the two plugs, forming a secure connection. The plugs are then secured in place with the connector\'s locking mechanism. This locking mechanism ensures that the plugs remain connected.

The 172233-1 connector is designed to provide a reliable and durable connection. It is designed with a robust metal housing that limits the entry of dust and moisture to the interior of the connector and increases the connector’s service life. Additionally, it features a dual beam design that provides an added level of protection against mechanical shock and vibration.

The 172233-1 connector also has a series of protection features. For instance, it has a keyed mating connector system that prevents incorrect mating of the plugs. This system ensures that the mismatch of the plugs does not cause any damages or changes in the electrical signals. In addition, the connector is designed to ensure optimum conductivity and extended contact life through the use of gold-plated contacts.

The 172233-1 connector is a reliable and robust solution for a range of applications. Its small form factor ensures that it fits into tight spaces, while its keyed mating system ensures that the connection remains stable and secure. Furthermore, the robust metal housing and gold-plated contacts work to protect the connection from dust and moisture, as well as mechanical shock and vibration.
