Rectangular Connectors - Accessories encompass an array of components used to provide the electrical connection between two pieces of equipment. The 345257-1 connectors belong to this category, and are a reliable and robust yet cost-effective solution. The aim of this article is to explain the commonly encountered fields of applications and possible associated working principles of the aforementioned connectors.

Uses and Applications

Due to its ergonomic design, the 345257-1 connector can be easily used in industrial, automotive, audio, and display applications. It is constructed from plastic parts, which are temperature and chemical resistant, thus making them an ideal choice for outdoor environment. In addition, these connectors can be used for connecting sensors, motors, and other resources which are distributed in the field.

Also, as they are very low profile and may be mated using two screws, it makes them ideal for space saving within a system. Furthermore, its design provides ample space for plugging cables and wires, which is often an issue when using other types of connectors. Finally, due to its excellent noise-reduction capabilities, it is also suitable for signal transmission in high-speed applications.

Working Principle

The 345257-1 connectors use a contact based mating mechanisms. The contacts are usually made from copper alloy and provide secure connection between wire and the contact surface. The contacts are divided into two categories; male and female. Typically, the male contact is inserted into the female contact. The connections are made by inserting the male contact into the female contact and by tightening two screws. This causes the contacts to be compressed to provide positive retention and increase the contact’s electrical integrity. Besides, its design ensures that the mating mechanism can fairly accommodate thermal expansion that occurs on the contact and enables the connection to be rear-header.

Furthermore, these connectors provide a great level of environmental protection. They are designed to provide an IP67-rated sealing which guards them from dust, moisture, and other contaminants. The sealing further reduces the size of the possible contact clearance between the connector and the mating surface, thus actually decreasing the number of potential points of failure.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 345257-1 connectors offer a robust and reliable cost effective solution for a multitude of applications including display, audio, motor, and sensor connections. In addition to its ergonomic design which leads to easy installation and setup, it has the following working principles; contacts made from copper alloy, a contact based mating mechanisim, and environmental protection with an IP67 rating. Therefore, for the ideal electrical connection in industrial and automotive applications, this connector is a reliable choice.
