Rectangular Connectors - Adapters

Rectangular Connectors - Adapters provide a reliable electrical connection when mating connectors in an electrical system. 4-292156-2 is a two-part plastic, shielded, Snap-N-Lock connector used in telecommunications, computer and industrial equipment. Each half of the 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connector has two low profile, 0.062 inch diameter spades that mate with a variety of panel mounted thickness sizes. The 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connector is designed with four integral grounding fingers.

4-292156-2 Application Field

4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connectors are specifically designed to provide reliable connections in the Telecom, Broadcast and Data Communications industries. This connector type works well with cables having a variety of sizes and shapes. The 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connectors are especially convenient when used with Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables for CAT 5E or CAT 6 Ethernet installations.

4-292156-2 Working Principle

The 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connector is secured to the panel or wall with 4 screws. Once they are tightened, the connector bodies supply a reliable, long-term connection. The function and purpose of the Snap-N-Lock connector is simple, yet effective. It applies a positive locking force which embeds the spade contacts into the mating surface, ensuring a solid connection. The secret to its reliability lies in its “slip clutch” technology, which allows the center contact to move freely, eliminating stress on the surrounding contacts.

The 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connectors provide a reliable electrical connection even in the most demanding applications. They are designed to provide up to 10ddb of Crosstalk isolation. They are also UL and cUL listed, meeting UL-928 requirements for metal shielding. Additionally, the polycarbonate and polyamine dielectric material used in the 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connectors is rated UL94V-0 for flammability.

Conclusion

In summary, 4-292156-2 Snap-N-Lock connectors are specifically designed for a fast, reliable connection in telecom, data communications, and industrial applications. The improved design means they take up less space than traditional connectors and provide superior shielding and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) protection. They are easy to install, meeting UL-592 requirements for metal shielding, UL928 requirements for pins, and UL94V-0 for flammability.
