746611-3

Rectangular Connectors - Board In, Direct Wire to Board are a form of rectangular connectors that are particularly useful for applications where space is limited and must be laid out in a tight configuration. One of the most common examples is the 746611-3 rectangular connector, which is a popular choice for applications in industrial and embedded systems. The 746611-3 connector is highly reliable and can be configured in a number of ways to fit your specific needs.

The 746611-3 incorporates a unique three-tier stackable connector design. This design allows the user to stack additional board connectors to increase the number of connections the connector can accommodate. This is a major advantage over traditional pin and socket connectors as it offers improved reliability and flexibility in terms of design, as well as less space taken up and a simpler installation process.

In addition to the stackable design the 746611-3 has four terminal positions. These terminal positions are where the actual connections are made, either with a bare wire or a PCB. The number of terminals can be expanded if necessary, and the connector has the ability to accommodate up to 20 terminals. This means the 746611-3 can support a wide variety of applications.

The 746611-3 also features a locking mechanism which is designed to keep the connector in place once installed. This helps to ensure a secure connection and helps prevent the connector from coming loose. This is important in applications where the connectors are exposed to vibrations or extreme temperatures.

The working principle of the 746611-3 is quite simple. The two parts of the connector are installed into a board and a bare wire is inserted through the terminal positions. The parts are then fastened together with screws, which requires the use of a screwdriver. Once the screws are tightened the contacts within the connector make the connection, and the connector is secured in place.

The 746611-3 is a highly reliable and flexible connector which is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Its unique stackable design allows it to accommodate a wide range of connections without taking up too much space, while its locking mechanism ensures a secure connection. As such, it is an ideal choice for a range of embedded and industrial applications where space is a major consideration.
