2108639-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

2108639-1 is an application field and working principle rectangular connector. It has two metallic elements, one a receptacle or plug housing and the other a tab or pin housing. The contact system in the plug housing is composed of multiple contacts housed in individual cavities that line the housing flange, and the contact system in the tab housing is composed of single or multiple contact elements housed in individual cavities that line the housing flange. The complete system is designed for use in a wide variety of applications, ranging from avionics control to medical equipment, and from instrumentation to automotive use.

The 2108639-1 connector housing utilizes shock springs, which provide a cushioning and dampening effect during insertion and removal of the device into its mating part. Due to the narrowed size of the housing, it is compatible with a variety of power and signal devices. The contact system is shockproof and vibration-proof, providing increased safety and reliability in harsh conditions.

The two contact systems, plug and tab, offer both insertion and removal prevention to ensure the integrity of the connection. The insertion prevention is achieved by utilizing a locking mechanism in the plug housing, which is activated when the plug housing is inserted into the tab housing. Removal prevention is achieved by utilizing a lock screw in the tab housing, which is tightened after the plug housing has been inserted. This lock screw ensures that the two housing elements remain connected and cannot be accidentally detached from one another.

The material used for housing the 2108639-1 connector is stainless steel, which ensures both the durability and the longevity of the device. This connector has a rated current rating of 20 A, a voltage rating of 300 V, and a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. It has an IP rating of IP65, meaning it is dust- and water-resistant.

In summary, the 2108639-1 application field and working principle is a rectangular connector designed for a wide variety of applications. It provides both shockproof and vibration-proof contact systems and utilizes shock springs for insertion, removal, and preventing accidental disconnection. The housing of the connector is constructed from stainless steel to ensure both the durability and the longevity of the device.
