172236-1 Connectors, Interconnects

172236-1 application field and working principle are related to terminals, housings, and boots. A terminal is a device that is used for electrical connections to circuit boards, switches, relays, and more. Terminals come in many designs, sizes, and materials, such as wire terminals, spade terminals and crimp terminals. Housing is a device that either provides mechanical protection and/or electrical insulation for electrical components. It can be made of a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal, and composites. Boots are a rubber or plastic protective sheath that fits over the end of a cable or wire. Boots provide a water tight seal and are used to cover the wire or cable connector.

172236-1 application field and working principle are best understood by looking at a typical terminal, housing, and boot combination. The 172236-1 terminal is a single wire terminal used for automotive and building wiring applications. This terminal is made from tin-plated copper and is 0.250 inches long. The 172236-1 housing is an Nylon 6/6 (UL rated 94V-0) plastic sleeve that fits over the terminal. The sleeve has two 0.312 inch mounting holes on either end, which is used to secure the terminal into the panel or connector. The 172236-1 boot is a rubber boot made of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene) and is designed to slip over the terminal and housing to provide a water tight seal.

The application field of the 172236-1 terminal, housing, and boot combination is any situation that requires waterproof protection for electrical connections. This can include automotive wiring, building wiring, and marine wiring. In addition, this combination is also used in appliance wiring, machinery wiring, and in lighting applications.

The working principles for the 172236-1 terminal, housing, and boot combination are relatively simple. The terminal is crimped onto the wire and inserted into the housing. The housing is then secured with the mounting holes and the boot is slipped over the terminal and housing for a secure and waterproof seal. Since the terminals can be easily crimped, they are easy to install in the field. The housing and boot provide a robust electrical barrier that will protect from rust, dirt, and corrosion, and the EPDM rubber provides a secure and tight seal.

172236-1 application field and working principle are thus related to terminals, housings, and boots. This combination is used in many situations where waterproof protection is important, such as automotive, building, and marine wiring. The simple working principle makes it easy to install in the field.
