173852-2

Rectangular connectors are used in a wide variety of applications, and the 173852-2 rectangular connector housing is an example of a reliable and versatile solution for connecting two or more pieces of electronic or mechanical equipment. The rectangular housing is specially designed with a snap-on or sliding latch for easy installation and reliable connection. The 173852-2 housing is made of high-quality, precision-molded plastic for long-term servicing and reliability. It has an operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, and a dielectric strength of greater than 1000V DC.

The 173852-2 rectangular housing provides multiple contacts for use with a variety of different types of electronics, including digital and analog circuits as well as I/O modules. The basic working principle of the housing is that the contacts are inserted which act as switches, connecting the two pieces of electronics together. The contacts used for this particular model are 7, 9, 15, and 25-pin variants, depending on the application requirements. When the connector is mated with its corresponding receptacle or with another 173852-2 connector, the contacts slide into place and connect the two pieces of equipment.

The 173852-2 housing can be used for micro-level applications such as PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), power supplies, computer cards, and fire alarm systems, among others. It can also be used in military and aerospace applications, as it is RoHS compliant and UL recognised, which is essential for this type of work. Additionally, it is constructed with lightweight ABS plastic for maximum durability and cost efficiency.

In addition to its high-level performance in a variety of applications, the 173852-2 rectangular connector housing also has important safety features which make it an advantageous choice. The housing has a self-latching device, which provides a secure connection when the connectors are mated and a safe separation when they are parted. This is a critical feature for high-risk applications such as power supplies and fire alarms, where the proper functioning of the connector could determine life or death. In addition, the connector housing also has an insulation resistance of greater than 1000MΩ for further protection.

The 173852-2 rectangular connector housing is an ideal choice for a variety of electronic and mechanical applications due to its easy installation, reliable connection, cost-effectiveness, and safety features. From micro-level use on PCBs to military-level applications, the 173852-2 housing offers reliable connections and secure latches to ensure proper connections for every type of application.
