Rectangular Connectors - Housings

2822388-1 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors are used to connect electronic equipment together. Specifically, 2822388-1 connectors are used in a wide variety of applications including automotive, industrial, data and communications, medical, consumer electronics, and instrumentation markets. Currently, 2822388-1 connectors come in three base sizes; two sizes for when two contacts are used, and one size for when three contacts are used.

The 2822388-1 mating connectors come in two variations. The layout for a two-contact connector, known as the ‘dual-port’, consists of two apart mating contacts and one socket on the other. The layout for a three-contact connector, known as the ‘tri-port’, consists of two apart mating contacts and two sockets on the other. The contact mounting arrangement for both variations consists of a 3-Pin Terminal Block, which is compatible with rectangular housings.

The 2822388-1 rectangular housing is made from solid metal. The material used for it is usually brass, but any metal can be used if specific requirements must be met. The housings can be made in both single and dual port variations. The housings for both variations measure the same size, but the single port housing does not feature an access hole like the dual port housing does. The dual port housing also has the option of either being straight or curved in its shape.

The 2822388-1 housing is designed to work with both the two and three-contact mating connectors. The housing comes with three terminal block holes, which fit the mating connectors perfectly. The housing is also fitted with a single pin, which allows the mating connector to be secured in place. To ensure a watertight seal, the housing is fitted with a sealing cap, which covers the pin.

The 2822388-1 connectors can be used in a variety of ways. In automotive and industrial markets, they can be used for in-vehicle or in-plant applications to provide secure interconnection and power distribution. In data and communications markets, they can be used to interconnect network systems and provide fire-walled connections. In the medical field, they can be used to connect medical devices and instruments. For consumer electronics, they can be used as a reliable connection between electronic devices, such as cell phones and laptops. Lastly, instrumentation markets can use them to interconnect devices, process control systems, and diagnostic instruments.

In conclusion, the 2822388-1 rectangular connectors are ideal for a variety of applications both large and small. Their solid metal housing provides a secure connection for any device and with its single pin, the mating connector can be secured in place for a safe, watertight connection. With its three terminal block holes, the 2822388-1 is a cost effective and good quality solution for any application.
