Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors are custom-designed electrical connectors consisting of housings with a variety of contacts and terminals used to transmit signals, power, and data between components. These connectors are used in a wide variety of applications, from medical equipment to automotive and home audio equipment.

The 176287-4 housing is a type of rectangular connector widely used in industry. It is a two-part connector designed to be joined and locked together to provide a strong electrical connection. It is made from durable thermoplastic material that is resistant to oil, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for harsh environments. It is designed for use in applications that require high reliability and superior performance. The 176287-4 is widely used in automation, robotics, high-speed data transfer, and aerospace.

The 176287-4’s working principle is quite simple. The two halves are connected with an electrical connector and the terminals are fitted with spring contacts. The contact systems are designed so that the spring plates are compressed when the two halves are connected. This not only ensures a secure connection between the components, but also helps to protect the terminals from damage due to vibration or shock. The connection is also protected from short circuits, ensuring low signal potentials and high capacities for data transmission.

The 176287-4 housing is part of the larger rectangular connector family which includes a wide variety of contact systems and housings with specialized features. These may include single-block and double-block versions for reliable power and signal transmissions, and special features such as environmental seals, robust connectors, dual polarization, and reverse-polarity protection. Other features include keyed connectors for secure mating, small size for high-density designs, and shielding to reduce EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference).

These features make the 176287-4 an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. From industrial applications such as lighting and motion controls, to medical and automotive applications, this housing offers reliable performance in harsh environments. It is UL, CSA, and CE certified to ensure safe and reliable connections, and is widely used in heavy-duty applications such as data centers, power transmission, and oil and gas production.

Overall, the 176287-4 housing offers an ideal solution for reliability, performance, and durability in a wide range of applications. Its features provide secure connections and protection from exposure to harsh elements such as dust, water, oil, and extreme temperatures. Its UL, CSA, and CE certifications ensure safe and reliable performance, making it perfect for heavy-duty industrial applications that require robust connections.
