T1230246132-000

The T1230246132-000 is a connector typically used in industrial and military applications, designed to perform reliably and be used in in a variety of environments. Its connection system is designed for higher voltage or power applications than smaller connectors that use lighter contacts. It is part of the Heavy Duty Connectors family and is composed of Housings, Hoods, Bases and other durable parts.

The Housings of the T1230246132-000 is a robust construction usually made of PBT material. They provide the basic structure of the connector and additional protection from dust, moisture, and mechanical strain. Housings can come in a variety of sizes and contact arrangements that may accommodate different cables and applied voltage or power levels. Some housings can have shielding or mounting solutions that may be necessary for some applications.

The Hoods of the T1230246132-000 provide greater protection from wear, shock and dust, plus additional stiffness during assembly. They are usually made of zinc and can attach directly to the housings to minimize the number of parts involved in the connection. This connection process also helps to ensure a reliable electrical joint by locking the hoods in place when the connector is seated in the mating position.

The Bases provide the mechanical backing and complement the electrical connection of the connector. They are usually made of aluminum or steel for greater mechanical strength and to reduce the impact of wireless interference with the connection. The bases usually have flanges to mechanically secure the connector to the panel where it is mounted and also include a sealant to prevent water entry at the point of interface.

These parts of the T1230246132-000 also include optional mounting or special cables if needed, allowing the completion of protected standard or special power connections. These components are all designed to ensure that the T1230246132-000 is able to withstand the toughest industrial and military environments. The working principle of these heavy duty connectors involves the combination of all the above parts to create a reliable and robust electrical interface point.
