Pluggable Connectors
Pluggable connectors, which have been used interchangeably with the term modular connectors, refer to electrical connectors used to interconnect circuits or subsystems, usually within a system but not always. The term ‘pluggable’ means that rather than having to solder them to each other or to the system, the connectors may be quickly plugged and unplugged from each other like a jigsaw puzzle. The types of plugs come in a variety of sizes and shapes, including DIP, BNC, RJ45, MIL-DTL-38999, SOIC, and Mini-DIN.
One example of a pluggable connector is the 2149375-1, which is manufactured by Multi-Pin Connectors Ltd. It is a panel-mounted connector that is used in the aerospace and military industries. It is a multipin, circular-type connector with a bayonet coupling and a threaded backshell, with a locking nut feature. The 2149375-1 is a high-performance pluggable connector that is designed to perform in the harshest of conditions. It has excellent environmental sealing properties and corrosion resistance, and it is lightweight and easy to assemble.
The working principle of the 2149375-1 connector is that power is transmitted through the connection as the mating flanges are tightened. The circular shape of the connector creates a contact area which provides a continuous electrical conduction between the mating components. As the contact area increases, the resistance of the connection is reduced, allowing for a more stable connection. The threaded backshell feature provides strain relief, improving the mechanical and electrical performance of the connection.
The 2149375-1 connector is designed for applications in aircraft, avionics, night vision systems, radar systems, weapons systems, and other mission-critical applications. The connector is available in various sizes, pin configurations, and materials to meet the requirements of the specific application. The military-grade versions are designed to meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 and are designed to meet environmental and shock/vibration requirements as well.
The 2149375-1 connector is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications in harsh and demanding environments. Its durability and reliability make it an ideal choice for mission-critical applications, and its highly-engineered design ensures that the connector is able to deliver maximum performance in the most extreme conditions.
