Rectangular Connectors - Housings

Self-aligning, polarization design used in the 65486-022LF connector provides a polarization with a simple, reliable connection for the user. The unit is also designed with a positive locking feature to ensure a secure connection and prevent possible damage to the mating surfaces during installation. Cranking of the mating halves results in unattended, reliable locking.

The design of the 65486-022LF connector is suitable for various application fields, such as automotive, industrial, and healthcare. This connector has been designed to provide maximum electrical performance while having minimum size. Due to its versatile design, the unit can be used in any application involving two-way communication.

The 65486-022LF connector is available in several lengths, with all sizes offering excellent bend radius tolerance and similar flexibility characteristics. This design makes it easier to use in tight spaces, allowing for more creative wiring and design. Additionally, its design provides excellent power handling capabilities.

The 65486-022LF connector uses a spring-loaded curved coupling as its retention mechanism. This design provides a low profile and a durable connection by injecting a spring-loaded force into the assembly. The insertion force is greatly reduced due to the curved coupling. This design gives an enhanced vibration tolerance to ensure safe operation.

The 65486-022LF connector’s working principle involves two electrical terminals, which are configured to fit the housing cavity. Before installation, the terminals must be cleaned and oiled to provide a good sealing and electrical performance. During installation, the terminals pass through the housing and into the retention mechanism, compressing the spring to clamp the terminals together and secure them to the housing.

The 65486-022LF connector uses insulation displacement technology to ensure its reliable performance in different environments, such as extreme temperatures and pressure. Its low profile design ensures a reliable connection with minimal signal loss. The unit is also resistant to corrosion, and it provides an IP ratings of 65 and 67, making it suitable for applications that are highly exposed to moisture or water.
