43223-8164

The 43223-8164 is a modular connector – jack – used for various applications. It is a two-part connector consisting of a 3.5mm four-contact jack and a three-position 0.031 square-post receptacle. The members of the modular jack family feature a spring loaded, self-locking latch for quick and easy assembly. It is capable of operating at temperatures ranging from -55° to +125°C.

Modular jacks of this type are used in a wide variety of applications, from telecommunications and television, to test and measurement (T&M) and military communications. They are most commonly used for direct connection of equipment to a connector board. They are also used for connection of cables and testing leads that can be easily and repeatedly connected and disconnected.

The 43223-8164 modular jack has two detents: one at the base and one at the top. The detent at the top operates like a locking tab, providing a secure connection. The detent at the base allows for the easy removal of a connected cable or testing lead. This type of modular jack is also equipped with a polarizing key for mating with specific boards or cables.

The working principle of the 43223-8164 modular connector – jack - is based on the ability to assemble two or more components. It is a two-part connector that includes a jack (part 1) and a receptacle (part 2). The jack and receptacle are connected by a latch that secures the two components together. The latch is actuated by pushing the jack into the receptacle, and this action locks the two components in place.

The modular jack also includes a polarizing key on the jack which mates with a keyway on the receptacle. The keyway ensures that the jack and receptacle are properly aligned and prevents the cable or testing lead from being connected in the wrong orientation. The key also provides additional security to the connection, ensuring that the components cannot be accidentally disconnected.

The 43223-8164 modular jack is a versatile component for a wide range of applications. It is designed for easy connection and reliable operation in any environment. Its spring-loaded self-locking latch enables quick and easy assembly of the components, while its locking tab provides a secure connection. Its polarizing key ensures proper alignment and prevents accidental disconnection of the components.
