Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Rectangular connectors are devices that connect two electronic circuits or components together and are mainly used for power or signal transfer purposes. Connectors come in a variety of configurations and the most popular shape is rectangular, which is often referred to as a “housing”. One such connector, the 3-179228-1, is a molded, plastic housing connector consisting of two housings, designed to mate with each other. It is commonly used in industrial and telecommunication applications.

When two housings are mated together, the contact area inside the connector is electrically insulated by a film of non-conductive material. This prevents current flow between the two sets of contacts and ensures that a reliable electrical connection is made. An electrical connection is made when the two contact areas are connected by a metal bridge, or “link”, which is inserted into the connector. The bridge serves as the electrical path between the two contacts and allows current to flow.

The 3-179228-1 connector is designed for use with both balanced and unbalanced transmission signals and is capable of accommodating signal frequencies as high as 1 GHz. It can also be used for higher frequency applications such as digital signal transmission. The pre-molded and pre-wired contact points enable fast and reliable assembly, while the connector’s higher density insulator prevents the intrusion of dust and dirt during operation. This helps ensure that the electrical connection between the two housings remains reliable and secure.

The 3-179228-1 connector is also highly compact, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications where space is at a premium. Its small size makes it well-suited to use in tight spaces, such as in a variety of equipment and instrument cabinets, which require a reliable and secure electrical connection. Additionally, the connector’s design allows it to be stacked together for higher density connection points.

The 3-179228-1 connector is available in a variety of different sizes and was designed with standard wiring schemes in mind. This makes its use easier for those who are not familiar with electrical wiring and simplifies its installation and use. Its robust construction allows it to be used in harsh environmental conditions and temperatures, making it ideal for use in industrial, military, and telecommunication applications.

Its highly reliable and secure connection points and compact design make the 3-179228-1 an attractive choice for a wide variety of applications. Its robust construction and ability to withstand a variety of conditions also makes it a preferred choice for those who need a reliable and secure connection in a variety of environments. All of these features help to ensure that the 3-179228-1 is the perfect choice for many applications that involve secure electrical connections.
