794542-4

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The 794542-4 rectangular connector is a smaller connector manufactured using a higher grade of material and offer superior performance compared to other housings. Additionally, the 794542-4 is most often applied for harsh temperature environments, as it is designed to maintain its superior sealing and mechanical properties even in extreme temperatures.

Application Field

One of the top areas of application for the 794542-4 rectangular connector/housing is in the military/aerospace sector due to its increased reliability. In particular, this type of connector/housing is often used in aircraft components that require more extreme temperatures and ruggedness. In addition, it is also found in equipment such as datacom systems, LAN equipment, broadcast cards, and computers.

Working Principle

The working principle of 794542-4 rectangular connectors/housings is very straightforward. It is designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between two components, such as two wires, and allow them to transfer electrical signals. The 794542-4 connector/housing is most often used in applications that require extreme temperatures or where vibration may be an issue.

The 794542-4 connector/housing is made up of a few parts, such as the contact, shell, and insulator. The contact is a conductive material that connects the two components and transmits electrical signals. The insulator isolates the contact and increases the contact’s resistance to corrosion and abrasion, something that is highly important in harsher environments. Lastly, the shell protects the contact and insulation from corrosion, dust, and other environmental factors.
