178080-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings is one of the most used connectors used in many different areas. The 178080-1 is a type of connector housing developed by AMP that is especially suited for applications in telecommunications, datacom, and industrial control. It is designed to offer excellent EME performance in a wide range of operating environments.

Application Field

The 178080-1 connectors are most often used in telecom applications. They are particularly well suited for terminating coaxial cables used in cable TV systems, as well as for EMI/RFI shielding. The connectors are also used in a variety of industrial and datacom applications, along with various applications in the medical and automation sectors. The connectors also provide excellent signal integrity in broadcasting and audio applications. The 178080-1 connectors system provides a wide range of options, making them well suited for projects that require a wide variety of solutions.

Working Principle

The 178080-1 connector system uses a two-piece, spring-activated quick-release mechanism to provide a secure connection. Each connector consists of two half-shell housings that are held together by an inserted pin or spring. When the pin or spring is inserted, it acts as a latch, and when the connector is released, it engages the pin or spring holding the two halves together. The two half housings are then connected using a soldered trap crimping method. This method allows for reliable electrical connections that are easy to make and break, and since the connection is made without soldering, it can easily be re-terminated at a later time if needed.

The 178080-1 connectors also feature a unique locking system that prevents unintentional disconnection. The locking mechanisms are designed to keep the two halves together and ensure that the connection remains secure. The 178080-1 connectors also feature an EME and RFI-compatibility that prevents interference from external sources. This is especially important in mission critical applications such as medical and industrial applications.

The 178080-1 connectors are designed to offer excellent performance in a wide range of applications. They are ideal for applications that require a reliable, secure connection with excellent EME and RFI performance. They are easy to assemble and provide a secure, reliable connection that can be easily re-terminated if needed. The 178080-1 connectors provide high-speed performance and excellent shielding against EME and RFI interference, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
