Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors are key components in many connector applications. The housing of these connectors can be made from plastic or metal, which can provide varying levels of support, protection, and electrical performance. Typically, the housings use two main types of contact design: single-piece or multiple-piece housings. Both types of housings offer particular advantages, depending on the application.

Single-piece housings typically consist of a single piece of material – typically plastic or metal – that is molded or cast to create the shape of the housing. This type of housing offers a strong, rigid support structure and the ability to easily integrate with bulkhead connectors or other components. Single-piece housings are commonly used in actuators, terminals, relays, and other industrial or automotive applications.

Multiple-piece housings use two or more separate pieces, typically made of plastic or metal, to form the shape of the housing. These pieces are usually held together by screws, rivets, or other fastening methods. This type of housing offers greater flexibility in terms of design, as complex shapes and configurations can be created. Multiple-piece housings are commonly used in electronic equipment, electrical enclosures, and many other commercial and industrial applications.

In addition to these two main types of housings, there are other designs that can be used in certain applications. One of these designs is the universal-style housing, which is designed to accommodate various modular and circuit board connectors. This type of housing is typically made of plastic and offers a variety of mounting options, including snap-in, side-mount, board-in, and threaded solutions. Universal-style housings are often used in LED lighting, audio-visual installations, medical equipment, and other commercial and industrial applications.

In addition to the housing design, the materials used in the construction of the housing will also play an important role in the overall performance of the connector. The type of material used can affect the weight, size, and strength of the housing, as well as the electrical and thermal performance of the connector. Some of the common materials used for housing construction include nylon, polycarbonate, and stainless steel.

The working principle of rectangular connectors is fairly simple. The housings are designed to securely hold the contacts in place, and the electrical connection is made when the contacts are properly aligned and held together. The contacts can be held in place by snap fittings, rivets, or other mechanical or electrical fastening methods. The connections are then secured, either with a latch or by screws, ensuring a reliable electrical connection.

Rectangular connectors are widely used in a range of applications, from industrial to automotive to consumer electronics. Their use in these applications is due mainly to the fact that they offer advantages such as superior strength, lower weight, and flexibility in design when compared to their round counterparts. In addition, rectangular connectors offer a wide variety of contact configurations which can make them a suitable choice for a range of different applications.
