26642001RP2

Rectangular connectors are a type of electrical connectors widely used in many fields. The 26642001RP2 connector specifically has multiple purposes and working principles. This connector belongs to the headers and male pins category, meaning that it is designed to provide a fixed connection between two electrical circuits as well as provide a power and data connection.

26642001RP2 connectors have a rugged design that is resistant to shock and vibration. They feature eighteen exposed male pins on each side, along with two stacked steep profiles that serve to guide mating components and prevent premature separation. These features make the 26642001RP2 connector highly suitable for use in harsher industrial environments.

As far as applications are concerned, the 26642001RP2 connector is commonly used in a variety of medical, industrial, and consumer electronics. They are particularly popular for telecommunication applications, where they serve to improve design flexibility by eliminating the need for PC board-to-external wiring harnesses. They are also often used in military applications, where they provide a consistent connection to a wide range of sensors and devices.

The 26642001RP2 connector is a versatile component whose working principles make it highly suitable for use in a variety of environments. The eighteen male pins are arranged such that they create both power and data connections. Each contact is configured to only remain connected once a sufficient amount of force has been applied to create the connection. This ensures that all contact pins are making consistent connections each time the connector is used.

These connectors also feature a polarization mechanism that physically prevents mismated connections. This mechanism is especially important in applications which require an uninterrupted power connection. The mechanism also prevents electrical shorts by ensuring that pins on one side of the connector only connect to their respective counterparts on the other side.

Overall, the 26642001RP2 connectors are a rugged and reliable solution for any application which requires both power and data connectivity. They feature a durable design and a polarization mechanism which helps prevent mistakes and electrical shorts, making them an excellent choice for harsh industrial and military applications.
