Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 2208018-1 housing is a rectangular connector, usually designed for use in electrically powered equipment and aircraft. It can also be used in other applications, such as wiring looms. The unit comes in several sizes, with variations in its mounting and contact configuration. It is also sometimes know as a Multi-pin Connector.

Application Field:

This Multi-pin Connector is a popular choice for applications such as electrical transmission systems, aircraft and other vehicles, telecommunications, optical fiber communication systems, switching and control systems and by-wire aircrafts. These connectors provide electrical connections to various components without sacrificing the weight, space, and performance of the system. Due to the high quality materials and construction, the 2208018-1 housing is suitable for use in extreme environmental conditions.

Working Principle:

The 2208018-1 housing is composed of two components; the housing and the contacts. The contacts are typically constructed from a resilient metal or polymer that allows for easy and reliable insertion into the housing. The contact is then secured to the housing by a connection, such as a press fit or a combination of protruding and recesses. The contacts and housings can be plated with various materials, such as gold, silver, nickel, and zinc. The plating serves to protect the metal or polymer contacts from oxidation and corrosion, while also providing low contact resistance. The contacts may also be insulated to prevent induced current leakages and shorts.

The two components of the 2208018-1 housing are designed to work together to create a secure and reliable electrical connection. Depending on the application, the housing may include one or more sets of contacts. When in use, the contacts are either screwed or clipped into place and are then sealed into the housing. This ensures that the contacts are held securely in place and provides a superior protection from corrosion or damage. The housings provide an additional layer of insulation to prevent induced current or parasitic current from overloading the housing.

The 2208018-1 housing is one of the most popular options when it comes to creating reliable electrical connections. Thanks to its versatility and its proven performance, it is a popular choice for a variety of applications. The housing’s mechanical durability and electrical resistance make it perfect for use in extreme environmental conditions. Additionally, the use of plating and insulation makes the Multi-pin Connector an excellent choice for long-term use.
