1971030-2

Introduction

Rectangular connectors are electrically mating, mechanically locking multipin connectors typically used to connect wiring harnesses and/or circuit boards. Rectangular connectors are considered as a class of electrical connectors that are commonly used in various electronic applications in which discrete wires and/or multiple signals or power must be combined together in a connectorized system. The 1971030-2 rectangular connector housings are reliable, low-profile plug and receptacle connectors, designed for compact and low-profile applications.

Application Field

The 1971030-2 rectangular connector housings are an integral part of the complete 1971030-2 plug and receptacle connector system. 1971030-2 connectors are typically used in demanding applications such as telecommunications, instrumentation and medical equipment. The 1971030-2 connectors are developed in accordance with the European Telecommunications Standard EN 60320-1. This standard sets a sport category 5A requirement for plug connectors.

The 1971030-2 rectangular connector housings have a high degree of electrical and mechanical properties. The mechanical design allows the connectors to quickly be attached or disconnected from environment rated (IP68) or non-environment rated equipment. The 1971030-2 connectors provide a secure connection for up to 4-pins and ensure that signals and/or power are efficiently designed and rapidly transferred through the system.

Working Principle

The 1971030-2 standard plug and receptacle connectors are part of the rectangular connector family and are designed to provide sig­nal and/or power for systems in a variety of electrical applications. The 1971030-2 housings provide a secure, reliable connect/dis­connect connection. Rectangular connectors are normally designed with a minimum two-point contact and an interlocking feature to provide a more dependable connection.

The 1971030-2 rectangular connector housings consist of two main parts: a plug and a receptacle. The plugs of the 1971030-2 connectors are used to mate with the receptacles. When the connectors are mated, the plug locks into the receptacle with a mechanical latch located on either side of the plug. The interlocking feature provides a secure connection between the two parts and ensures that the connection remains secure during operation.

The 1971030-2 rectangular connector housings are also designed to resist environmental conditions. The receptacle features an over-molded body with an exterior rubber seal to provide a watertight seal against moisture and dust. The plugs of the 1971030-2 connectors also feature an over-molded body that provides an additional seal that ensures the plug is protected from environmental and EMI influences.

Conclusion

The 1971030-2 rectangular connector housings provide a secure, reliable connection for a variety of electronic applications. The connectors feature an over-molded body that provides a watertight seal against moisture and dust. The connectors are designed to meet the requirements of the European Telecommunications Standard EN 60320-1. The 1971030-2 connectors are typically used in demanding applications such as telecommunications, instrumentation and medical equipment.
