353666-1

Rectangular Connectors - Housings are mechanical device primarily used to connect two objects or electronic components together. 353666-1 is a rectangular electrical connector designed to meet the ruggedness demanded from the Military, Aerospace, and Industrial Markets. It features reinforced double retention lances and a strong center wall provide maximum strength in extreme environments.

The 353666-1 rectangular connector consists of a three-piece housing units - the connector housing, a dielectric retainer and a cover assembly. The dielectric retainer and the cover assembly secure the contacts within the connector housing each time the cover is re-closed. This protector prevents the contact from backing out of the housing even under high vibration and shock.

The application range of the 353666-1 rectangular connectors cover industrial process control, medical imaging, renewable energy management, communications, aerial platforms, ground systems, shipboard systems and underwater systems. Its performance makes it ideal for operating in environments with extreme temperature ranges, high pressure, and chemical and radiation exposure.

As a hermaphrodite connector, the 353666-1 rectangular connector performs two-way electrical or fiber-optic connections using two complementary plugs with the same mating and keying. During assembly, the pins and sockets are assembled over a variety of contact layouts with both male–female and female–female contact options. The rugged design of the connector ensures all parts remain tightly connected even when subjected to harsh conditions which makes it highly reliable for operation.

Closures on the 353666-1 rectangular connectors are secured with metal to metal lances. They feature multi-step connection and disconnection which guarantee reliable and waterproof contacts while a sheet steel shell adds additional protection from dust and foreign objects. The 353666-1 rectangular connector is also designed with built-in protection from vibration and other mechanical and environmental challenges during operation.

The contact support on the 353666-1 rectangular connector allows for quick and easy installation and removal. It also features a built-in security thread lock for added safety and protection against mechanical strain. The maximum working voltage and temperature of the connector is 250 volts and 125°C, making it highly reliable for various applications and environments.

The 353666-1 rectangular connector is manufactured and tested in accordance with the IEC 61076-2-101 standard. It is also designed to meet other specifications such as the UL and CSA requirements for low-voltage electrical equipment. The connector has an advanced sealing method and stability in the housing mechanism which provides superior protection from environmental stress.

In summary, the 353666-1 rectangular connector is considered as a reliable, versatile and robust solution to meet the harsh conditions encountered in military, aerospace and industrial applications. Its features included reinforced double retention lances, strong center wall, dielectric retainer, built-in security thread lock, and advanced sealing method among others, and its performance makes this connector ideal for various application fields and harsh environments.
