Pluggable Connectors

Pluggable connectors are used to link different components together in a system. They are designed to provide electrical connections and protect against damage from vibration, moisture, dust and other external elements. A typical pluggable connector is the 2170782-2. This type of connector is typically used in industrial automation applications, ranging from robotics to telecommunications.

The 2170782-2 pluggable connector is available with a range of features suitable for a variety of applications. These features include contact arrangements of up to seven poles, main housing materials of Polyethylene (PE) or Polypropylene (PP) along with an IP20 protection class rating. The connectors are rated to up to 255V, 24A, and with 4-25 signal contacts and up to three seal options for maximum versatility.

The 2170782-2 connector features a modular construction. This makes it possible to customize the connector design for specific application needs. The connectors are available with or without inserts, locking systems, and sealing solutions. The basic 17.5mm x 16mm, two-part construction is also commonly used in industrial equipment.

The working principles of the 2170782-2 connector are based on basic electrical principles. The connector has two mating sides, which need to be connected in order for electrical current to flow through the connector. An essential feature of pluggable connectors is the ability to prevent accidental disconnection. This is achieved through the use of a locking mechanism, which securely holds the two mating sides of the connector together.

Another important principle of the 2170782-2 pluggable connector is the protection of the mating surfaces from environmental conditions. This is typically achieved through the use of a seal or gasket, which prevents water, dust, and other external elements from entering the electrical contact areas. In order to withstand the rigors of industrial equipment, the seals are typically made from robust materials such as rubber or silicone.

The 2170782-2 pluggable connector is a reliable and durable solution for many industrial application needs. Its modular construction allows for flexibility in design, and its locking and sealing capabilities provide protection from environmental elements. The connector also utilizes basic electrical principles to safely carry electrical current and prevent accidental disconnection.
