Heavy Duty Connectors - Housings, Hoods, Bases

Heavy duty connectors refer to connectors designed for demanding industrial applications, with higher levels of durability, strength, and sealing capability. These connectors use housings, hoods and bases to ensure maximum efficiency. The 1771888 is a case in point. It offers excellent sealing, shock protection, and is fire-resistant.

Housings

The 1771888 housing is made of PBT, a thermoplastic that combines excellent resistance to a wide range of temperatures, stresses, and chemicals. It also prevents environmental impacts and provides good mechanical strength, making it ideal for Outdoor Industry applications. The design features two tabs that allow for secure connection and the attachment of cables to the housing. This makes the entire system reliable and efficient.

Hoods

The 1771888 hood is made of aluminum and features a urethane seal. This ensures an air- and water-tight connection, even when exposed to harsh conditions. Furthermore, the hoods are resistant to dust, water, and oil, as well as temperature extremes, making it suitable for extreme environmental conditions. This makes it ideal for use in outdoor applications like in automotive, marine, and industrial environments.

Bases

The 1771888 bases are made from urethane and feature a stainless steel shield. This provides excellent sealing, shock protection, and fire resistance. This makes it highly suitable for industrial applications. The bases provide easy access for cables to the connecting points and also feature a threaded locking mechanism for added security.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 1771888 is based on audible clicks that confirm the connection. When connected, the housing and hood create an air- and water-tight seal. At the same time, the stainless steel shield provides shock protection and fire resistance. Additionally, the threaded locking mechanism is designed to ensure a secure connection. After connection, the locking glass is removed to complete the process.

Application Field

The 1771888 is designed for extreme environment applications such as automotive, marine, and industrial settings. It is ideal for demanding industrial applications, such as outdoor safety systems, security systems, and many industrial automation applications. It is also suitable for many outdoor applications, such as oil and gas platforms, water treatment systems, shipbuilding applications, and transportation systems.
