969973-5 Datasheet/PDFRectangular connectors are used for mechanical and electrical connections in a variety of applications. This type of connector gains its name from its rectangular shape, typically featuring two or three contacts surrounded by insulating material. 969973-5 is a type of rectangular connector, specifically a header, receptacle, or female socket. It has two or three contacts on each side that plug into a socket in the hardware.
General Specifications
969973-5 connectors are generally available in lengths up to 102.4 mm, with a 3.2 mm pitch. The contact rating is 2 A, and the dielectric strength is 500 Vrms. Operating temperature range is from -40°C to +105°C.
These connectors are made from high-performance copper alloy and zinc alloy with tin plating, with insulation made of either polypropylene or thermoplastic elastomer material. They are mechanically robust, dust and water proof, and have excellent electrical and mechanical properties.
Common Applications
969973-5 connectors are most commonly used in electronic systems, such as cell phones, computers, alarm and communications systems, and measurement and control systems. They are also used in home appliances, automotive networking systems, medical systems, and any other device requiring cable harnesses and mechanical linking.
Working Principle
The working principle of 969973-5 connectors is quite straightforward. The connector has a core insertion section, which is a set of insulated contact pins. When connecting the device, the core section is inserted into the socket of the hardware. The pins form the electrical connections, and the mating sections form a complete connection. The core section is then locked into the hardware via the locking mechanism. This prevents accidental disconnection and ensures secure, reliable connection.
969973-5 connectors are essential components in a variety of applications and have become increasingly popular over the years. They can provide reliable connections for many different types of devices and are used in a wide variety of industries. As the technology evolves, there is always a steady demand for these connectors.
