Rectangular Connectors - Housings are widely used in many electronic applications today. 2098380-3 is a type of rectangular connector housing, which is suitable for wide range of applications. This article will discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field

2098380-3 is an industrial type of rectangular connector housing that is suitable for wire-to-board, board-to-board, and cable-to-board applications. It has 10 positions for contacts and is available in two varieties of dust caps – Type A and Type B. Specifically, its application field includes:

• Robotic System
• Industrial Control
• Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications
• Automotive, Commercial and Marine Electronics
• Office Automation and Data Communication
• Medical Devices
• Other Electrical and Electronic Applications

The 2098380-3 rectangular connector housing is also suitable for use in harsh and corrosive environment, such as in factory automation systems and production lines that involve strong chemicals. Its high quality printed circuit board (PCB) contact for compliant terminals ensures good characteristics in environments prone to dust, oil and water. Furthermore, its robustness and versatility make it perfect for challenging even with different combinations of the wire use.

Working Principle

The 2098380-3 rectangular connector housing adopts an integrated locking system, featuring audible “click” apart from other technical advantages, for secure attachment. It has a metallic contact centered in the back plate which slides in contact with the metal clip and thus locks the connector. The connectors have a 2-point fixing system between the back plate and connector faceplate, which ensures a low profile and reduces possible contact corrosion due to dust/moisture. Additionally, the contacts are gold plated for signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

In the process of assembly, the 2098380-3 rectangular connector housing are firstly placed in a suitable installation hole on the device, and the rear part of the housing is locked with an unique metal clip. Then, the positions of the connector are noted by inspecting the shape of the metal clips, and then two-point fixing is performed. After that, the contacts are inserted into the housing, and the contact shells are securely held in place by a molded-in-place clip. Finally, a suitable installation hole is opened in the device for insertion of the mating connectors, and the assembly is completed after linking the two connectors.
