Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 4-1563759-1 connector is a type of rectangular connector housing, which is a box-like frame that holds a specific number of connectors together and provides a basic foundation for a range of applications. Square and rectangular connectors are hugely popular for a wide range of applications, from automotive to industrial, and are often used for higher voltage and power applications as they are more efficient than round connectors.

The 4-1563759-1 is a 4-pin connector housing, and consists of four terminals and a variety of mounting bases, depending on the application. This housing is most commonly used in small industrial applications, such as for motor control, counters, sensors, and programmable logic controllers. The housing is designed to be snapped into holes in brackets, pendants, and switch boxes, but can also be mounted in an array.

The 4-1563759-1 housing features a mating locking system which ensures the connections are held securely with a minimum of effort. This is an important feature in industrial applications, as it makes sure the connections are not jarred or disrupted due to vibration, shock, or motion. The locking system also prevents accidental shorting of the pins, as it ensures they are located in the centre of the housing and not in the gap between the terminals. The housing is IP66 rated, making it watertight and resistant to dust and dirt.

Another important feature is the insulation sleeve, which adds an additional layer of protection against electrical arcs and ground faults. The insulation sleeve ensures that even if the wires become jostled and make contact with the open terminals, the electrical charge will not ground out, preventing potentially dangerous arcs and shocks. This is especially important in hazardous environments.

The 4-1563759-1 also features a grey coloured terminal block that protects the terminals against corrosion. This is important, as corrosion can cause electrical faults due to a build-up of contaminants. The grey housing provides a barrier between the wires and the terminals, making the connector more reliable and longer lasting than other types of connectors.

The 4-1563759-1 is a very reliable and versatile connector housing, and is suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. It is particularly well-suited to hazardous environments, due to its IP66 rating, robust construction, and insulation sleeve. With its easy-to-use locking system and corrosion-resistant terminals, the 4-1563759-1 is a great choice for any application requiring a reliable and durable connection system.
