7-179228-1

Rectangular Connectors, sometimes referred to as Flat cables, or Solid Conductors, are the most commonly used connectors in electronic applications due to their robust design and ability to carry a significant amount of current. One of the most popular types of these connectors is the 7-179228-1 which is used in a variety of applications such as sound systems, instrumentation, and computer networking.

The 7-179228-1 is a standard size rectangular connector that utilizes two rows of contacts arranged in a straight line parallel to the connector housing. The contacts are contained within the plastic housing and are separated using a keyway to provide the necessary spacing to prevent the contacts from shorting when connected. As there are no moving parts or metal components, this type of connector is considered to be highly reliable and is well-suited for robust applications.

The primary application of the 7-179228-1 is that of a digital signal connector. It is suitable for both signal and power applications, making it a popular choice for digital audio, video, and computer applications. The 7-179228-1 can also be used in other areas such as robotics, industrial systems, and security systems.

The 7-179228-1 connector works by the use of two contacts in each row, one positive and one negative. The contacts are arranged in such a way that when the connector is mated to an appropriate socket, the contacts mate. This creates an electrical connection between the two components, allowing the appropriate signals or power to pass through.

The connector is rated for up to 5 amps of current and 500V of voltage, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The connector is also designed to withstand extreme temperatures, making it a choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, the 7-179228-1 connector is resistant to dust, moisture, and other contaminants, further enhancing its durability.

The 7-179228-1 connector is one of the most popular types of rectangular connectors available and is an ideal choice for a multitude of applications. It offers an extremely robust design, making it a reliable choice in a wide variety of applications such as digital audio, video, and computer networking. Additionally, it is resistant to extreme temperatures, dust, and other contaminants, making it a durable and highly reliable choice.
