Rectangular Connectors - Housings
4-965261-1 is a rectangular connector housing used in conjunction with connector inserts to create a number of contacts. Depending on the number of contacts created, it can facilitate a range of applications, from devising point-to-point connections, to linking more complex systems.
Application Field
Rectangular connector housings, such as the 4-965261-1, provide secure interconnection between two cables or wires. The housing of this particular connector is suitable for cable-to-cable use as well as cable-to-board use. This makes it versatile enough to be used in industrial electronics, automotive, instrumentation, and measurement systems, as well as computers and peripherals, among others. It also serves specialized applications, such as providing contact storage functions.
Working Principle
The 4-965261-1 housing requires connector inserts to create a number of contacts. This connector housing is composed of two separate parts, the receptacle and the plug, which work together to create a secure connection. A retention latch system prevents mating accessory parts (such as plugs) from being released unintentionally once they are installed. The latch system works by holding the plug firmly in place until the locking bar is properly raised to release the plug. Furthermore, its mounting system can work horizontally or vertically, adding to its versatility.
When it comes to other features, the 4-965261-1 features UL, CSA, RoHS, and REACH-certified materials, which confirms its quality and performance. It also has a mechanical and electrical lifetime of 500 and 20 cycles, respectively. The contact positions range from 8 to 50 levels with a pitch of 2.54mm. This assures that it can provide a secure medium for a large number of signal types.
Conclusion
The 4-965261-1 connector housing provides a secure and efficient interconnection solution for a range of applications, such as industrial electronics and automotive, among others. By working in conjunction with connector insert options, it provides a number of potential contact configurations to achieve secure connection. Furthermore, its certified materials and reliable lifespan make it a safe and cost-effective solution.
