178328-3

178328-3 rectangular connectors are composed of headers, male pins, mounting brackets and other components. They are designed to incorporate an array of wires into a single assembly. The basic design of the connector includes a center row of male pin terminals, which is installed in a box that contains a female socket, typically composed of two solid steel strips. In this design, the box is secured with mounting screws that are connected to the bracket in order to ensure a secure connection. The terminals are inserted into the female socket, and the box is tightened with a screwdriver, holding the parts together and creating a secure connection.

The 178328-3 rectangular connectors feature a 2-point terminal contact, with a locking system that keeps the terminals in place. This makes the connection more secure and prevents accidental disconnection. The connector is also designed to withstand a wide range of temperature and environmental conditions. For instance, it is designed to be used in -40°C to 85°C temperature range, with UV radiation, salt spray, and shock and vibration protection.

The 178328-3 rectangular connector utilizes a power-on-demand contact system. This means that when the connector is inserted into the female socket, a mechanical connection is made that provides a secure electrical connection. This system ensures that the power is only applied when the connector is plugged into the socket. The power-on-demand feature makes the 178328-3 connector a reliable and safe choice for many applications.

This rectangular connector is also UL, CSA, CE and RoHS certified. It is available in both standard and custom designed configurations, with terminals ranging from 2 to 20 pins. Each connector is designed to meet the signal and power requirements of the application.

In conclusion, the 178328-3 rectangular connector is designed to provide a secure and reliable connection for a variety of applications. Its power-on-demand contact system provides increased reliability and protection from accidental disconnection, while the connector is also certified to meet various industry standards. With its wide range of configurations, the 178328-3 connector is one of the best choices for those seeking a reliable and secure connection.
