2-179608-0 Application Field and Working Principle

The model 2-179608-0 is a rectangular connector accessory manufactured by CUI Devices. It is a multi-contact system for both power and signal applications in a range of environments, including in wet, corrosive, and high vibration conditions. It can support more than 100 pins in the same connector. It is commonly used in fields such as industrial, automotive, computer, and consumer electronics.

Overview

The model 2-179608-0 is a rectangular connector accessory with 2 rows and 9-positions in a 0.050"-pitch design. It uses high‐temperature thermoplastic housing that is UL-94 V-0 flame rated. The contact housings and terminals are made of 85-percent copper alloy material for superior electrical and mechanical performance in high vibration conditions. For added insulation, the quality assurance (QA) test includes over-insulation enhancements and penetration testing for UL 773 standards.

Electrical Characteristics

The model 2-179608-0 has voltage rating of 250V and current rating of 5A per line. Its electrical characteristics include nearly zero insertion force, low contact resistance, and high current and voltage capacity. It also has low magnetic resonance, which helps reduce disturbances in signal transmission. In multiple-line systems, it has excellent wire crimp force consistency, resulting in trouble-free operation.

Physical Characteristics

The model 2-179608-0 is designed with a small-diameter contact. It is designed with a full polarizing system for efficient wire crimp force. It has a polarizing guide key for alignment purposes and an integrated rectangular latching system that prevents any accidental disengagement of the contact. It also has a slide locking system to further prevent accidental disengagement and ensure secure contact retensioning.

Environmental Characteristics

The model 2-179608-0 is designed with a sealed contact system that prevents the entry of particles or liquid into the contact system. It is UL-94 V-0 flame retardant and is dust-tight and waterproof. It has superior resistance to salt spray and other corrosive environments and its mechanical and electrical characteristics are maintained in temperatures ranging from -70°C to +125°C.

Applications

The model 2-179608-0 is commonly used in industrial, automotive, computer, and consumer electronics applications. It can be used in high vibration, wet, and corrosive conditions, and it is an ideal choice for applications that require high power and signal transmission. Examples of such applications include automotive, medical, robotics, telecom, and consumer electronics.
