68402-214

Rectangular Connectors are a type of electrical connectors utilized in a range of applications, including electronics, automotive, medical, telecommunications, industrial, power and automation. The connectors come in a variety of different types, such as headers, receptacles, female sockets, etc. One such type of connector is the 68402-214 which is highly reliable and has a wide range of industrial applications.

The 68402-214 is a 12 contact male to female rectangular connector. It has a maximum operating temperature of 105°C and a dielectric withstanding voltage of and AC and DC 1000V. This connector is designed for use with a wide range of industrial electronic equipment, including electronic control systems, all types of circuity boards, and signal circuits. It is IP67 rated for dustproof and waterproof protection in outdoor environments. In addition, it features a secure locking mechanism which ensures a strong attachment of the wire harness to the connector for increased operational safety and durability.

The 68402-214 utilizes a crimping method for termination of the wire instead of soldering. This provides a reliable connection, reduces labor time and cost, and allows for faster installation. The connector also comes with a metal shell which helps protect the wires and terminals from damage, and provides additional EMI shielding. The signal contacts are made of durable, corrosion-resistant brass and feature a precise tip spacing for superior electrical performance. The contacts also have an anti-turn feature that prevents the terminals from turning when the wires are being inserted or removed.

The 68402-214 utilizes a simple, yet effective, working principle. When the terminals and wires are connected together through the crimping process, electrical current is conducted through the conductor and is transported to the mating connector. The contacts within the connector are configured in a manner that allows for a secure connection between the connectors. The locking mechanism allows for the connector to remain secure and prevents the electrical connection from becoming loose or damaged. Additionally, the EMI shielding of the metal shell helps ensure that signals and data are properly transported within the connected equipment.

In conclusion, the 68402-214 is an incredibly versatile connector which is ideal for industrial applications. Its sturdy construction, low cost and easy installation make it a great choice for a range of electronic projects requiring reliable electrical connections. Its robust anti-turn feature, secure locking mechanism and effective EMI shielding ensures that your wiring harness is both safe and reliable.
