Introduction to the 2178710-6 Connector

The 2178710-6 connector, manufactured by TE Connectivity, is a rectangular connector which belongs to the Headers, Receptacles, and Female Sockets, part of the company’s larger Connector & Cable Assemblies product line. The 2178710-6, which comes as an individual component or part of the 2178586-2 housing + contact insertion, is a cost-effective connector used in a variety of applications. Its 6.3” x .2” rectangular connector shape allows it to be used in numerous compact designs. Its lead-free tin plating ensures reliable and consistent performance, and its contact retention feature further ensures that the connectors remain in place while in operation.

Applications

The 2178710-6 connector type is commonly used for equipment used in the consumer, computing, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial markets. Some common examples include automotive equipment, medical equipment and devices, optical lighting, and mobile phones.The 2178710-6 connectors capabilities make them well-suited to being used as a wire-to-board connection. This type of connection allows for two separate circuits to be connected electrically and mechanically, eliminating weak points in the circuit, and reducing electromagnetic interference. The 2178710-6 can also be used in a wire-to-wire connection. Wire-to-wire connections are useful in a variety of applications; for example, they can be used in a DC circuit to separate two loads. This prevents excessive current from passing through a single circuit.

Working Principle

The 2178710-6 connectors have two distinct parts which allow them to function properly. The ‘male’ part of the connector is the pin which is inserted into the female housing. The ‘female’ part of the connector is the ‘insert’ which accepts and pins into the male housing. The contacts on the 2178710-6 connector are flush-mounted, making them ideal for applications which require a secure connection. The flush-mounting reduces the chance of accidental contact which could cause electrical irregularities.The interior of the female housing is where the contact pins are located. These pins are held in place with the help of plastic retention clips. The exterior of the female housing consists of a cover which provides an additional layer of protection from dust or dirt. The 2178710-6 connector features a finger-tightener which allows for easy installation. This allows the connectors to be quickly and easily connected to the circuit board. Once connected, the finger-tightener ensures that the connector is properly secured.

Conclusion

The 2178710-6 connector is a cost-effective, reliable, and versatile alternative to other types of rectangular connectors. Its lead-free tin plating ensures reliable and consistent performance, and its contact retention feature further ensures that the connectors remain in place while in operation. Its low profile shape allows it to be used in a variety of applications, such as automotive, medical, optical lighting, and mobile phones. In addition, its simple installation process, thanks to its finger-tightener, allows it to be quickly and easily connected to the circuit board. All of these features make the 2178710-6 an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
