Working Principle

4-1437251-2 rectangular connectors have an external layer of protection that guards against dust, moisture, and shock. This layer is composed of two parts: the outer housing and the inner contacts. The contacts work to make and break electrical connections. Their design allows for different types of connections such as series, parallel, mix-and-match, and so on.

The mechanical force produced by the external housing is used to keep the contacts in place. This force, referred to as the clamping force, is generated by tightening the contacts together. This prevents wear and tear and helps ensure a secure connection even when subject to vibration or shock.

The internal contacts are wired together using suitable insulation and stranded wires. The contact sides of the connectors are made of rigid metal which prevents wear and corrosion, helping to ensure a reliable connection. Once the internal contacts are in place, the external housing is used to add the final layer of protection.

4-1437251-2 rectangular connectors are simple but effective components used in multiple industries to provide reliable connections. With suitable design and maintenance, they can perform to the highest standards and serve as a reliable solution in the different types of applications they are suited for.
