Rectangular Connectors - Housings have many applications in the industry. They are used in many applications ranging from communications to transportation to industrial control. Housings come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be used with many different types of conductors and contact materials. The type of connector used depends on the application, and it is important to ensure that the right type of connector is selected for the specific application.

The 51216-0200 (nicknamed “The Reed”) rectangular connector housing is suitable for many industrial applications. It is designed specifically to meet military specifications, and its durable construction allows it to be used in a variety of harsh environment conditions. The Reed housing is designed for use with 48-positions and offers maximum board spacing flexibility with a low profile design. It is produced with a high dielectric strength that is suitable for automotive and other high voltage applications. It also features a self-extinguishing, high temperature rated insulation material for superior performance.

The Reed housing consists of an inner shell and an outer shell. The inner shell is used as a base for the contact inserts. Contact inserts are moulded into the inner shell and can be easily inserted into any mating connector. The inner shell is also a source of electrical and magnetic shielding, which ensures that signals do not escape from the circuit, protecting other components from interference. In addition, it provides support for dust protection and operation at extreme temperatures.

The metal shell of the 51216-0200 provides a strong, durable outer casing, and its insulation material and epoxy fill protects the contacts from moisture, dust, and other environmental hazards. Mounting accessories can be purchased separately to mount the Reed housing to any type of panel, flange, or wall. The Reed housing is compatible with all 48-position connectors, including D-subminiature and SCSI connectors.

The Reed is easy to install, as the connector requires no soldering. Its mating parts are already pre-assembled and ready to be plugged in. Installation is made easier with the universal locking mechanism which provides a tight fit and can be operated conveniently with just one hand. A pre-wired receptacle with color coded wires is included in the box for easy installation.

The Reed is a reliable and dependable connector housing and is suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Its compact design, easy installation, and high temperature rating make it a preferred choice for many applications. With its rugged construction and solid performance capabilities, it can provide reliable service for many years.
