353908-5

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 353908-5 is a rectangular connector housing that comes in a variety of sizes and shapes. This type of connector is made of resilient and non-corrosive materials, and can be used in electronic applications where extra protection against dust, debris, water, and other elements is needed. The part features a header that allows a mating connector to snap onto the assembly for secure connections in harsh environments.

The most common application for the 353908-5 is in automobile and industrial-grade applications. It is also frequently used in military and aerospace applications that require rugged protection against moisture, dust, and other elements. In these applications, the connector serves to protect wires or cables from mechanical damage, as well as providing a secure connection.

The 353908-5 connector housing is typically part of a larger connection assembly. For example, it can be used to connect the mating female portion of a connector to a terminal block. It can also be mounted on a board as part of a larger switch assembly. The connector can also be used in tandem with other connectors, such as using a 40-pin connector with a 60-pin connector.

The shape and size of the 353908-5 dictates the application for which it can be used. The connector comes in two sizes: vertical and horizontal. The vertical connector measures 6mm in width and the horizontal version measures 8mm in width. Depending on the application, the standard version or a low profile option can be used. In addition, the head position can be adjusted to allow for a higher mating engagement height.

To ensure optimum performance and reliability, the 353908-5 features a compliant pin design. This feature provides a higher level of stability for connections in harsh environments. The contacts also feature a two-point locking mechanism which helps to ensure that the connections are secure. In addition, the vertical and horizontal versions of the connector are also available in a reverse polarity option.

The working principle of the 353908-5 is simple and straightforward. The contacts are arranged in a square pattern that matches the shape of the connector housing. The contacts are then connected together using a male and female locking system. The mating connector is then inserted into the housing for secure connection. The 353908-5 is designed to be used with the Tri-Start connector series, which is a common series in the aerospace industry.

The 353908-5 can operate in various environments and applications with temperatures ranging from -55 to 135 degrees Celsius. The connector is also RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning that it does not contain hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, or other materials. Overall, the 353908-5 is an ideal connector housing option for a variety of applications, from automotive to aerospace.
