284844-3

Rectangular Connectors are practical and versatile tools used in a variety of electrical applications. The 284844-3 is a type of housing, that when coupled with the appropriate contact, will form an electrical connector. This particular type is designed for industrial enclosures and is typically employed in motor control, automation, and data communications. To better understand the specifics of the 284844-3, this article will provide an overview of its application field and working principles.

Applications

The 284844-3 is primarily employed in industrial installations. As a product of the IP67 waterproof standard, it is ideal for outdoor applications with protection from dust and moisture. It also finds utility in panel-mounted automation and motor control systems, where frequent connection and disconnection is required. Additionally, the 284844-3 is popular for data communications with its various configurations of screw, solder, and cage and spring contacts.

Design and Construction

The 284844-3 consists of a plastic body with two parts made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyamide (PA). These parts mate together to form a complete housing. The various contacts are inserted into the body from either side and are held in place by a snap-lock mechanism that ensures electrical connections remains secure. The outer casing helps to protect the contacts from any accidental shock or vibration.

Performance and Safety Considerations

When installed correctly, the 284844-3 ensures a reliable and secure connection between components. The connectors offer a range of up to 50 volts and 500mA, with a current-carrying capacity of up to 5A. Additionally, the 284844-3 is designed to meet the certification requirements of UL, CSA, and RoHS.

Working Principles

The 284844-3 is designed to make connections between two components, such as a device and a power source. The connector allows for electrical current to flow between the two components, while also ensuring that no physical damage is done to either component. The main function of the connector is to provide insulation to prevent any shock hazards. When a connector is installed, the contacts are first inserted into the body. Once secured, a small amount of force is applied to the contact to create a connection. As current is supplied, the contacts are automatically locked into place. This ensures a safe and reliable connection, and ensures that any accidental disconnections are unlikely.

Conclusion

The 284844-3 is a popular industrial connector used for various applications in motor control, automation, data communications, and other industrial settings. It provides a secure electrical connection between two components, while also offering protection from shock hazards. With its waterproof construction and UL, CSA, and RoHS certification, the 284844-3 is an ideal choice for outdoor installations.
