205164-5

D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings are a family of connectors traditionally used for electrical or data connections, and they are commonly composed of two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets usually surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield. The 205164-5 connector is one type of D-Sub connector. It is typically found in low power industrial/digital/control applications, and has connectors and terminals made from tin-plated brass.

The 205164-5 connector is a five-pin connector used for a Z-axis rotation sensor in the automotive industry and low voltage appliances. It is an extremely low cost connector known for its reliability, ease of assembly and wide voltage range. The 205164-5 connector has a chrome-plated zinc alloy diecast metal shell and contact pins made of phosphor bronze that are plated with gold over nickel.

To assemble the 205164-5 connector, first the contact pins must be inserted into the appropriate spaces in the metal shell. The shell should then be mounted to the desired panel or housing. When properly mounted, the 205164-5 should have a tight fit between the shell and the panel or housing. Once properly mounted, the contact pins are then wired to the circuit.

The primary use of the 205164-5 connector is for interfacing electronic control systems to resistive, voltage divider, or current sensing elements. For example, it can be used in low-voltage automotive applications such as the electronic control unit, a device that monitors the operation of the fuel delivery, ignition, charging and emission systems. It can also be used to connect a controller to a rotary sensor for measuring angular position.

The 205164-5 connector offers several advantages over its peers. It is a low cost, reliable connector that is compatible with a wide voltage range and requires only low insertion forces. This means that assembly and disassembly of the connector is straightforward and easy. The contact pins are also gold-plated to increase conductivity and minimize oxidation. This makes the connector suitable for long term use in harsh environments.

In summary, the 205164-5 connector is an economical, reliable connector designed for the automotive industry and low voltage applications. Its low insertion force and wide voltage range make it easy to assemble and disassemble, while its gold-plated contacts and chrome-plated diecast metal shell offer high conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is primarily used for connecting electronic control systems to resistance or voltage control elements, making it a versatile and reliable component in many electrical and data connections.
