Working Principle

The 176300-1 rectangular connector and housing are designed for stationary or sequence use. The connector and housing feature a robust, vibration-resistant locking mechanism made from die-cast zinc and polyamide that ensures a secure mating connection over the operating temperature range. The housing inner cut-outs guide the connecting pins and sockets so that they can be easily and quickly aligned. The connectors and housing have excellent stability against shock and vibration, which is important for applications that demand reliable performance.

The connector housing is pressure sealed, with a specially designed sealant that prevent dust and moisture from entering the unit. The housing’s self-aligning design ensures a strong and reliable connection, and the body of the housing is shaped to provide maximum protection of the contacts. The 176300-1 connectors and housing are designed for harsh environment and are ideal for use in hostile working conditions.
