76341-420

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are commonly used in a variety of applications in many fields such as commercial, industrial, and engineering. They are used to enable multiple devices to be connected together, creating an electrical, mechanical, or optical link between them. The 76341-420 is a rectangular connector that features five electrical contacts and is widely used in applications that require high performance.

This type of connector has the ability to handle a wide range of current ratings and is particularly well suited for applications in the military and aerospace markets. It is waterproof, so it can be used in harsh environments and is highly reliable, making it suitable for mission-critical applications. Furthermore, the connector is shielded, providing EMC protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helping to ensure the connectivity and performance of the system.

The 76341-420 connector features five contacts, each with 19 AWG wire that can be either crimped or soldered. The contacts are surrounded by a windowed plastic housing with a black epoxy insert. This ensures excellent environmental protection and reliability. The connector also has an integral latch and dust cover which protects the contacts from debris and ensures a stable connection. Due to its robust design and construction, the connector is rated for up to 3500 mating cycles.

The working principle of the 76341-420 connector is quite straightforward. Once the connector is properly inserted and secured, an electrical connection is established. Current flows through the contacts, allowing for the transmission of power or other signals. The contacts provide insulation from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and make the connection more reliable and secure. Additionally, the latch and dust cover also serve to keep contaminants from entering the connector and disrupting the connection.

To summarise, the 76341-420 rectangular connector is an excellent choice for many applications due to its robustness, reliability, and wide current ratings. The connector is water and dust-proof, and its integral latch and dust cover further ensures a secure connection. The connector’s five contacts each accept 19 AWG wire and allow for the transmission of power or other signals. All in all, the 76341-420 connector provides great performance and reliability in a wide variety of applications.
