Rectangular Connectors - Housings
Rectangular connectors are widely used in many electronic applications, both industrial and consumer. Connectors and housings are available in a variety of sizes and styles to meet the needs of different applications. rectangular connectors generally consist of a rectangular shell, contacts, and sometimes a backshell. In some cases, a housing may also contain a secondary locking device, such as a set screw. The 2035380-4 connector is a type of rectangular connector that is commonly used in industrial applications.
Application Field
The 2035380-4 connector is a rugged, high-amperage connector which is used in a wide variety of industrial applications. It can be found in control panels, switchgear, electrical motors, power supplies, and many other places. The strong construction and high power handling ability makes it suitable for uses in demanding environments where reliability is of utmost importance.
Working Principle
The 2035380-4 connector is a single-piece, multipin connector. It consists of a housing, contacts, and a contact retention mechanism. The contacts are held in place by a combination of a metallic spring, an oval, and a stem which stands up inside the housing. The retention mechanism ensures that the contacts remain properly seated and secure even under heavy vibration or plugging and unplugging cycles.
The connector can accept a wide variety of contacts including pins and sockets. These contacts are connected to the mating connector by spring loaded contact retention pins which are seated into a mating area in the back of the housing. A unique double rib feature is provided on each connector to ensure that correct mating and engagement are always achieved. The 2035380-4 connector is designed in such way that once mated, the connectors will not come apart until the user intentionally disconnects them.
Conclusion
The 2035380-4 connector is a reliable and rugged connector which can handle high currents and is suitable for many industrial applications. It features a unique retention mechanism which ensures a secure connection and prevents accidental disconnection. This connector is widely used in control panels, switchgear, electrical motors, and power supplies.
