284229-1

Rectangular connectors are a type of electronic connector designed to function quickly and reliably, typically used in medical, defence, aerospace and industrial applications. They are typically formed of two parts: a housing and a mating insert. The 284229-1 rectangular connector is an example of such a connector, and its application field and working principle are described in detail below.

Application Field

The 284229-1 connector is a high-performance interconnect designed for use in electronics and telecommunications applications. It has been specially engineered to provide long-term reliable operation in high-voltage, high amperage applications. The connector is equipped with plated gold-on-gold and gold-on-aluminum contact configurations, designed to provide superior electrical contact protection against environmental conditions such as moisture, dust or chemicals. It is also highly resistant to physical vibration and shock, and features a rugged metal sleeve around the connector to protect against impact or over-tightening. The connector\'s combination of robustness and performance makes it ideal for medical, defence, aerospace and industrial applications.

Working Principle

The 284229-1 connector is designed to work by inserting the mating connectors—the plug and the socket—into each other. The plug contains protruding metal contacts, which when inserted into the socket, make an electrical contact with the metal contacts in the socket, thereby completing the connection between the two. The contact surfaces of both plug and socket contacts are plated with gold-on-gold or gold-on-aluminum, delivering superior electrical contact protection. This ensures that the connection is highly secure and reliable.

The contacts in the plug are held in place by a plastic housing, known as an insulator, which clips onto the plug. The plastic housing also provides a tight fit and prevents the plugs from becoming loose or slipping out of the socket. In addition, the 284229-1 connector also features a metal sleeve around the connector to protect it from physical impacts or over-tightening. This ensures that the connection is secure and reliable.

Conclusion

The 284229-1 is a high-performance interconnect designed for use in electrical and telecommunications applications. It features plated gold-on-gold or gold-on-aluminum contact configurations, designed to provide superior electrical contact protection against environmental conditions. It also features a rugged metal sleeve around the connector to provide further protection against vibration and shock, and also ensures a secure and reliable connection. This makes the 284229-1 an ideal connector for medical, defence, aerospace and industrial applications.
