Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Connector housings are protective devices that contain and shield electrical and electronic connections. Commonly constructed of insulating materials, most connector housings range in size from relatively small units, measuring only a few inches and designed to hold a single connection point, to much larger versions, which contain several similar connections, and might be several feet in size. The type of housing selected for an application often depends on the environment within which the equipment must operate, as well as the size and availability of various housings. A large choice of rectangular connector housings can be found in different sizes and materials for general purpose or specific application.

The 6-179228-7 Connector Housing is a general purpose, double row housing made from UL94V-0 PBT thermoplastic with a surface matte black shell. The contacts, lids and contacts are made of brass with nickel and gold plating. It is designed for use with 0.50mm pitch surface mount contacts. The 6-179228-7 provides eight power and eight ground contacts with press-fit retention and tool-free assembly and soldering.

The 6-179228-7 can be used in many different applications such as LED lights, power supplies, automotive, consumer electronics, electrical and computer systems, and more. Its low profile design makes it ideal for applications where space is a premium. It has an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C, is UL and RoHS compliant, and has a current rating of 5A max. It\'s also lead-free and halogen free. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications, including harsh and difficult to cool environments.

The 6-179228-7 offers excellent signal integrity, reliable mechanical and electrical performance, and a secure, tool-free assembly. It is also corrosion resistant due to its high-grade brass contact material, making it suitable for high-reliability applications. The 6-179228-7 Connector Housing is available in a variety of configurations, including straight, right angle, and vertical. It offers protection from environmental elements and ensures the highest levels of signal integrity, even in challenging applications.

The 6-179228-7 connector housing\'s principle of operation is simple and involves the insertion of the contact into the housing and the creation of an electrical connection between the two. Once the contacts are inserted into the housing, they are secured in place with press-fit retention. The contacts are positioned along the sides of the housing and then a lid is placed over the top to make the connection. The lid is held in place by screws, so the connection remains secure. This system ensures a reliable, secure connection that will remain constant throughout its life cycle.

The 6-179228-7 Connector Housing is a great option for applications that require secure, reliable connections over time. The simple design and construction makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from industrial to automotive electronics.
