Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors can be found in almost every area of electrical systems. Devised as a means to provide efficient electrical connection and power transmission, these essential elements are used in the communications andPower tool markets as well as in industrial, medical and avionic systems. A key material type is the housing, which provides the structural basis and environmental protection for the signal and/or power pins and contacts.

The 174913-6 is a type of rectangular connector housing. It is made from high impact nylon 6 and is rated to IP67 protection. With straight-sided walls and dimensional consistency from production to production, a calculator tool is available to design a mating connector. This housing design is typically used in heavy-duty or industrial applications as the higher quality nylon protects the contacts from moisture, dirt, and other environmental factors.

The working principle of this connector housing is relatively simple. The contacts are inserted in the interior of the housing, providing a system for efficient electrical connection. When the mating half of the connector is inserted, the electrical connection is completed. The design of the 174913-6 also provides excellent protection against environmental conditions, as the high impact nylon 6 housing acts as a barrier to keep out dirt and moisture. The additional layer of insulation and protection provided by the housing also ensures a longer life for the connector.

In summary, the 174913-6 is a type of rectangular connector housing that is designed to provide excellent electrical connection, power transmission, and protection against environmental conditions. Its straight-sided walls and dimensional consistency from production to production, along with its high impact-resistant nylon 6 construction, make it a suitable choice for heavy-duty or industrial applications.
