350021-2 application field and working principle

350021-2 is a type of rectangular connector from the 3500 family by TE Connectivity Ltd. It is among the few low-to-moderate current and signal transmission devices often found in the automotive, transport and industrial sectors. This product has a maximum voltage rating of 500VAC and a rated current of 16EC.

Application field

350021-2 can be used to facilitate data transfer across a wide range of automotive components, such as vehicle communication systems, ECUS, telematics, infotainment systems, and radar systems, to name a few. Owing to the low-to-moderate voltage and current rating of the product, 350021-2 can be used in a variety of stationary industrial applications, such as smart meter systems, industrial automation equipment and pumps. These devices also perform very well in harsh environmental conditions, such as temperature changes, steam, and high levels of shock and vibration.

Working principles

350021-2 is extremely versatile, and it serves as a cost-effective solution for protecting electronic signals and components under harsh environmental conditions. This device features elastic contact arms that provide high-reliability, minimum transmission loss, and long-term signal integrity. The latch arm is designed to form a secure-lock connection for robust mechanical retention. A double-lock system ensures that the signal withstanding the system remains reliable even in extreme temperatures, high shocks and vibrations, and corrosive materials.

The hermetic seal design of 350021-2 resists external humidity, dust, particles, and other detrimental elements. Additionally, the device can be easily mounted and demounted using a reliable, field-removable system. The gold-plated contacts provide a reliable connection, and 10-pin designs provide optimal-wire conductivity.

Conclusion

The 350021-2 range of rectangular connector from TE Connectivity Ltd. is suitable for a variety of applications, including automotive and industrial systems, providing reliable signals withstanding extreme conditions. With an integrated double-lock system and hermetic seal design, as well as gold-plated contacts, the 350021-2 is the ideal choice for data connectivity and signal protection.
