173850-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings, commonly referred to as 173850-1, are an essential component of any electronic circuit. They provide the physical connection between two or more components, typically electrical, audio, or digital signals. 173850-1 connectors ensure these signals are transferred accurately and reliably between the circuits. To ensure maximum performance and reliability, multiple levels of protection are included, such as environmental protection, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) protection, and continuity checks.

173850-1 connectors are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, contact counts, and encasing materials. Commonly used in transportation, military, and domestic applications, these connectors come with a variety of locking mechanisms, such as screws, cam-locks, and latching devices. They can also provide power, signal, and data transmission capabilities.

The application of 173850-1 connectors depends largely on the application in question. In most cases, the connectors are used to connect wires or components in an electrical circuit. The two primary application fields include computers and telecommunications equipment. In computer applications, the connectors are used to link components such as video cards and hard drives to the motherboard. In telecommunications equipment, they provide signal connections between telephone systems, radios, and other forms of communication.

The working principle of 173850-1 connectors is quite simple. They contain a series of contacts, sometimes referred to as pins, which are often shaped like pins, sockets, or flat blades. These pins are embedded onto the connector. As the mating part is inserted, it slides over the pins, making contact with each one. As the pins and sockets make contact, they form an electrical circuit, allowing current to pass through. This is accomplished without creating excess electrical impact.

The level of protection provided by a 173850-1 connector depends on the type of connector you are using. Standard connectors offer the basic protection, while high-end connectors provide more extensive levels of protection. This includes EMC protection, and the use of durable metals and high-temperature plastics. Additionally, the number and type of contacts used in the connector will determine the level of protection it provides.

173850-1 connectors are commonly used in a wide range of industrial, domestic, and commercial applications. They are designed for reliability, ease of installation, and maximum performance. By taking advantage of their features and safeguards, electrical engineers and technicians can ensure the accuracy and reliability of their circuit connections.
