ZHR-12

The ZHR-12, also known as a rectangular connector/housing, is a type of multi-pin connector used to interconnect two or more electronic devices. It is commonly used in industrial equipment, such as robotic arms and computer networks. The ZHR-12 is incredibly versatile; with its narrow design, it can be used in tight spaces and is one of the most popular types of connectors for applications in the field.The ZHR-12, despite its narrow size, offers a great connection point for numerous types of cables and wires in any application. This connector consists of a junction box, also known as a header, which will contain the contacts for each of the terminals. These contacts are typically made of copper, and have entire sections devoted to multiple points of contact. This allows for minimized signal loss and secure connection with other electronic components.The connectors also have a plastic or metal latch on them, which when closed, secure them into place. The latch provides a secure connection to prevent the connectors from loosening due to vibration, shock, or electrical interference.The ZHR-12 offers many different advantages for application in the field. This connector is very reliable, with its terminals and housing manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring a secure connection. It is also easy to install and take apart, as all that is required is to slide and latch the housing into the junction box.This type of connector is highly versatile, and can handle a wide range of applications including wire to board, board to wire and cable to board connections. Not only is this connector easy to use, but its design also minimizes space while not sacrificing performance or reliability. This makes it an incredibly desirable choice for many application in industry.In terms of working principle, the ZHR-12 relies on the rectangular shape housing to firmly connect to the junction box. Once this connection is made, a small section of the housing will connect with the contact terminals on the junction box, creating a complete connection between one device and another. The latch on this connector then provides a secure fit, preventing the terminals from losing contact due to environmental conditions or vibration.Overall, the ZHR-12 is a highly versatile type of multi-pin connector, ideal for tight spaces and applications in the field. Its unique design minimizes space, and ensures secure connection with other electronic components, making it an incredibly reliable choice for any project.
