3-87499-7

Rectangular Connectors - Housings are integral components of electronic systems, protecting them from mechanical damage and providing difficulty-free connections. The 3-87499-7 is a two-piece corner post housing that is used to bridge two cables. It connects two devices electrically and physically, allowing for high quality connections and dependable transfers. These easy-to-use housings are suitable for cable assemblies and sheltering and they provide strong electrical bonding between multiple circuits.

The 3-87499-7 consists of two parts, the corner post base and a sliding cover. The corner post base is made of polyamide and comes in two sizes: 42 and 48. It fits into the inserting slot of the sliding cover to form a weatherproof connection. Its ends have an environmental seal which effectively blocks dust and moisture from entering. It also has an alignment bridge at the center of the post which helps to align the post during assembly. This alignment bridge also serves as an indexing point when mating the housings.

The sliding cover is composed of metal and is available in three sizes: 2, 4, and 6. It also has an environmental seal to protect the connection from dirt and dust. The cover is designed to slide over the post of the corner post base. This ensures the secure closure of the connection, which is especially important in applications that require high reliability and quality.

The 3-87499-7 is most commonly used in applications requiring reliable and durable connections. Typical applications for this housing include computer systems, automotive, medical, aerospace, and telecommunications. The post coil contacts found in the housings ensure that the connection is reliable and stable when transporting data or power. The contacts also allow for easy connection and disconnection.

The 3-87499-7 is also used in hazardous environments such as in the military or in oil rigs. The sliding cover makes it easy to access the connection in hazardous environments because they have a “snap” feature that allows the cover to be securely in place. This feature ensures that there is no loss of signal or power to the equipment. The strong environmental seals on the post base and the sliding cover ensure that the connections remain intact even in extreme weather conditions and dust-prone environments.

In conclusion, the 3-87499-7 rectangular connector housing is a two-piece corner post housing used to bridge two cables. The corner post base and the sliding cover provide strong electrical bonds between multiple circuits. It is suitable for connecting different systems, including computer systems, automotive, medical, aerospace, and telecommunications. Lastly, the simple snap feature of the 3-87499-7 is especially important in hazardous environments. This feature ensures reliability and quality when transporting data or power and helps to protect the connection from dirt and dust.
