646726-1 Connectors, Interconnects

Backplane connectors are widely used in a variety of applications including computers, routers, switches, IoT devices, medical equipment, military hardware, and consumer electronics. They are the primary way of connecting components within a system and provide a reliable and stable connection between them. Connector housings are the primary component of a backplane connector assembly. They provide a secure, robust and sealed structure to house all the internal components of the connector.

The 646726-1 connector housing is a component commonly used in backplane connector assemblies. It is a two-piece, latch-style backshell designed specifically for blind mating of larger, higher power connectors. It has an IECQ-certified version, which is made from glass-filled thermoplastic and has excellent chemical and moisture resistance. It has an additional grounding path and EMI shielding that can support high power and high vibration applications. This makes it suitable for use in military and aerospace applications that require superior performance and reliability.

The 646726-1 connector housing consists of two halves, a front and a back shell. The front shell is shaped similarly to the housing of a USB connector and has a latching mechanism on one side. The back shell is also shaped similarly to a USB connector, but has a larger opening for accessing the internal components of the connector. Inside the back shell is a cavity that houses the contacts for the connector. When the two halves of the housing are secured together, they create a strong, sealed structure that encloses the internal contacts.

The working principle of the 646726-1 connector housing is quite simple. When the two halves of the housing are secured together, the internal contacts are enclosed and protected from the environment. The latching mechanism on the front shell keeps the two halves securely mated. This ensures that the contact does not disconnect during use, even under harsh conditions. The IECQ-certified version of the 646726-1 connector housing also features an additional grounding path and EMI shielding. This provides superior performance and reliability for demanding applications.

In conclusion, the 646726-1 connector housing is a high-quality component that is designed to provide a reliable and robust connection between components in backplane connector assemblies. Its IECQ-certified version has an additional grounding path and EMI shielding, making it suitable for demanding applications. The two halves of the housing are secured together with a latching mechanism, creating a strong, sealed structure that securely encloses the internal contacts. This ensures reliable operation and performance even under harsh conditions.
