Rectangular Connectors - Housings

PS2-2VP/42C Application Field and Working Principle

The PS2-2VP/42C rectangular connector is a dual-channel system designed for connecting two opt once devices or two passive devices, such as sensors and actuators. The principle of operation of PS2-2VP/42C rectangular connectors is based on using a slotted mating process to connect two devices that have a common connector. The PS2-2VP/42C connector utilizes two slots in the mating mechanism, allowing the two rectangular parts of the connector to interlock in proper alignment and make a secure connection. The PS2-2VP/42C connector also features a pre-mating locking mechanism that eliminates any potential mechanical strain, ensuring reliable performance in demanding high speed or long life environments.

PS2-2VP/42C rectangular connectors are commonly used in industrial, medical, transportation, lighting, and telecommunications applications. The dual-channel design of these connectors makes them ideal for connecting two devices in a bidirectional communication path. For example, they can be used to connect two optocouplers in a differential type of communication system or as part of a wiring system for dimming LED lighting.

The PS2-2VP/42C connector is a semi-modular style connector featuring a two-part housing design that allows for fast and easy assembly. The connector has a key and groove feature on both mating parts which ensures proper alignment of the two parts for secure connection. The housing also features latching arms with four ribs that provide increased strain relief for secure mating retention. In addition, the PS2-2VP/42C connector is designed to ensure more even mating force, which minimizes the risk of premature wear and minimizes electrical resistance.

In terms of performance, the PS2-2VP/42C connector is rated for a maximum current of 2 A and a maximum voltage of 42 V. It has a contact resistance of 10 mΩ and an insulation resistance of 100 MΩ. The connector is also rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and a maximum mating cycles of 250. It is RoHS compliant and certified for use in UL, CSA, VDE, and CCC safety approvals.

The PS2-2VP/42C connector is an ideal solution for connecting two optocouplers or other passive devices in applications requiring reliable performance and minimal power consumption. Its two-part housing design ensures a secure connection and allows for fast and easy assembly, while its performance ratings and safety certifications make it suitable for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.
