Rectangular Connectors - Housings

5-179464-1 is a kind of rectangular connector housing. It is designed to protect its contacts against dust and debris, while providing a secure connection for two different devices. This kind of housing is used in a variety of areas, including medical, communications, industrial, automotive, and military applications.

The 5-179464-1 is made from a strong thermoplastic material, usually polycarbonate or nylon. These materials are ideal for connector housings as they are highly resistant to abrasion and impact. They also offer excellent flame and chemical resistance, making them suitable for use in areas where there is a risk of flammable or toxic materials. The outer surface of the housing can also be customized, with coatings that improve its durability and aesthetics.

The 5-179464-1 has two different mounting styles, which allow for a variety of different applications. The first style is called the Free Hanging Mount, where the connector is mounted directly into the mating device. This is often used in areas where the connection needs to be reliable and easy to access. The second mounting style is called the Sub-Mount, where the connector is mounted on a separate panel or board that is then mounted into the mating device. This is often more effective since it offers more strength and stability, and can be used in more rugged or demanding applications.

The 5-179464-1 connector also has a unique working principle. To make a connection, the two connectors are inserted into each other and a locking feature is engaged. This locks the connectors together, making them practically unbreakable. Additionally, the contacts are held in place with a clip system, which provides a reliable electrical connection and prevents them from coming loose or disconnecting from the housing.

The 5-179464-1 connector is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, including medical, industrial, communications, and automotive. Its robust construction, durable materials, and innovative working principle make this a reliable and secure connection for any application. It is also easy to assemble and install, and can easily accommodate different connection requirements.
