3-175636-4

Rectangular Connectors usually refer to a wire and cable connectors that link two working points in an electrical circuit. Among all the types of rectangular connectors, 3-175636-4 is an important one. It is a type of headers and sockets with female sockets.

3-175636-4, as a rectangular connector, has three main parts. First, there is a metal skirt or bracket which provides contact pressure and shielding. Second, there are two or more metal pins which provides electrical connection. Third, there is a plastic insert which provides insulation and direction to the pins. It can be found in the plastic parts in different colors.

The application of this type of rectangular connector is quite wide. It can be used in various industries including automotive, industrial, medical, power, lighting, consumer and telecom. For example, it can be used as a wire connector in an automobile, a power cable connector on a factory floor, a medical device connector in a healthcare facility, a consumer device connector in a residential dwelling, and so on.

The working principle of 3-175636-4 is quite simple. It hinges around the metal skirt and the pin contact points. When the metal skirt is pressed against the contact points, the electrical connection is formed. The metal pins then make contact with each other to form the electrical circuit. The plastic insert ensures that the metal pins stay in place and remain protected from any contaminants.

To use this type of rectangular connector, the user has to ensure that the contact points of the metal pins and the metal skirt are clean and free of dust and debris. After that, the user can press the metal skirt onto the contact points to create the electrical connection. To undo the connection, the user has to press on the metal skirt again and “unplug” the rectangle connector.

To sum it up, 3-175636-4 is an important type of rectangular connector. It is a type of headers and sockets with female sockets and is used in various industries. Its working principle is based on the contact between the metal pins and the metal skirt, which forms the electrical circuit when pressed together. The plastic insert ensures that the metal pins remain in place and protected from any contaminants.
