Rectangular Connectors – Housings

Rectangular connectors, also known as ‘R/C’ connectors, are one of the most popular types of connectors used in a variety of electronics and communications applications. The 8-968971-2 rectangular connector housing is especially designed for use in harsh or industrial applications that involve a significant shock or vibration. This connector is manufactured in accordance with MIL-DTL-32139, making it one of the most rugged and reliable options on the market.

Design

The 8-968971-2 connector is a single piece, rectangular, flanged style housing designed for plug and socket applications, with two 12-pin arrangements. Critically, the connector is protected by a seals gasket for waterproofing which meets IP67 requirements, so it can easily handle exposure to harsh or wet environments. The contact spacing is 11.5mm, with a locking latch terminal to ensure secure contact. The strength of the contact is also maximized with a stainless steel compression clip. The housing is made of orange glass filled nylon with a UL rating 94V-0.

Advantages

The 8-968971-2 connector offers several advantages over other types of rectangular connectors. It offers reliable and rugged performance, with IP67 protection against water and dust ingress, as well as providing improved resistance to shock and vibration. Additionally, the stainless steel compression clip provides superior strength and connection reliability, while the additional sealing gasket prevents against environmental hazards in harsh or extreme applications.

Applications

The 8-968971-2 connector is typically used in applications where a secure, waterproof electrical connection is required, such as in military or industrial applications. It is also suitable for vehicle wiring, audio-visual systems, and renewable energy systems. It is also often used in communications and medical systems.

Working Principle

The 8-968971-2 connector features two 12-pin arrangements, with contact spacing of 11.5mm and a locking latch terminal for secure contact. The connector plugs and sockets are secured with the stainless steel compression clip, providing superior strength and reliability. The connector is then waterproofed by the additional seal gasket, which meets IP67 requirements. Power is supplied to the connector via the male or female pins, with the connection then completed by virtue of the compression clip.

Conclusion

The 8-968971-2 connector is a rugged, waterproof connector with an MIL-DTL-32139 design. It is ideal for use in harsh or industrial applications, due to its waterproofing, shock and vibration resistance, and robust stainless steel compression clip. It is widely used in military and industrial applications, vehicle wiring, energy systems, and medical and communications systems.
