Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors - housings are used in assorted electronic devices and tools for a variety of applications. Commonly available housings, such as for the 2-1123722-3 series, are designed for handling a wide range of currents from a few milliamperes to a few hundred amperes. In terms of physical size, the housings generally come in standard sizes, ranging from the commonly available 2-1123722-3 which measures 9.1 mm x 27.3 mm (L x W).

When used in electronics, the 2-1123722-3 series come with a variety of contact configurations and signal paths including coaxial, signal, power, ground, and/or USB. The type of contact configuration and signal path chosen typically depends on the application. For instance, 2-1123722-3 connectors offer higher current densities and noise immunity for applications requiring high speeds and accurate analog connections. On the other hand, 2-1123722-3 housings are also commonly used for applications in industrial communication, automotive, and audio/visual, due to their sturdiness.

The contact types available include pin or socket contacts, crimp, IDC, solder, and surface mount. The 2-1123722-3 series is often made of materials such as plastic, rubber, stainless steel, or are made up of solid metal components. Depending on the application, users can select from either die-cast or machined housing styles.

2-1123722-3 housings are designed with features to ensure reliable operation at higher frequencies and increased current flow. For instance, shell-to-shell keying capabilities are available for preventing incorrect mating. The housings include RFI/EMI shielding, detent latching, and threaded mating. The housings also offer maximum flexibility with an integral lock for securely mating with standard plugs and headers.

The working principle of the 2-1123722-3 series is simple. Two housings, one being the male and the other being the female, are connected after contact pins are linked. This type of connection works because when the pins are inserted into the female housing, they make an electrical connection that can be used to route current or data. Housings of the same type can be mutually mated with each other depending on the type of contacts used.

In conclusion, the 2-1123722-3 series of rectangular connector housings, due to their durability, wide range of current handling, as well as their technical features, are suitable for a variety of applications. Their working principle is simple and results in a sturdy and secure connection.
