6-176992-6

6-176992-6 is a Connector Type for Terminals, Housings, and Boots. This connector is designed to protect terminals from moisture and dirt and to make them easy to connect and disconnect. It can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, electronics, industrial, and commercial.

Types of Terminals

There are three primary types of terminals used in 6-176992-6 connectors: male, female, and the “chassis” female type. The male terminals pass the current through the insulation whereas the female terminals cover the area around the connection, protecting it from damage. The “chassis” female type is used to cover the area in order to prevent accidental contact.

Types of Housings

Housings are used to house and protect the terminals. They typically come in two types: molded plastic and die-cast aluminum. They vary in size to accommodate different sizes of terminals. Molded plastic housings offer a lightweight, cost-effective option while die-cast aluminum housings offer increased strength and durability.

Types of Boots

Boots are used to cover and protect the area where the terminals are connected. Boots can be either flexible or rigid. Flexible boots are made of a material that can flex to fit over the connector and protect it from dust, liquids, and other contaminants. Rigid boots are made of a material that will not flex and that will provide additional protection.

Application Field and Working Principle

6-176992-6 connectors are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, electronics, industrial, and commercial. They can be used for power and signal connections, as well as for protection and strain relief. The working principle behind this type of connector is that the terminals are connected to the housings and the housings are held securely together with the boots. This ensures that the connection is secure and that it will not come undone, even during periods of vibration or movement.

6-176992-6 connectors offer a reliable and durable solution for a variety of applications. They are designed to protect the terminals, housings, and boots from moisture, dirt, and other contaminants. This makes them ideal for uses in areas where moisture is a concern, such as in automotive and industrial applications.
