ZHR-2-M

Rectangular Connectors - Housings

The ZHR-2-M is an industrially recognized housing type for rectangular connectors. Its application field is extensive and involves multiple industries, such as digital and computing, aerospace and automation. This type of housing makes use of locking devices, which makes it closely resistant to both mechanical and environmental stress.

The housings consist of outer frames that hold several contact types, such as, insulation displacement contacts, signal contacts and power contacts. These contact types vary according to the application. Icons used for these contacts include plugs, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire, among others. The housings also include a strain relief to eliminate the insertion forces when plugging/unplugging the connector and retainer clips that ensure the strain relief is held in position. The ZHR-2-M housings are usually made of thermoplastic materials, which gives it anti-corrosion properties.

The working principle of the ZHR-2-M housing type is to create a firm physical connection between two electronic components. It typically interconnects signals/symbols between two electrical devices, while the frames make sure two components stay connected even if placed in harsh environments. Some of the advantages that come with using this type of housing include:

• Easier installation, as it doesn\'t require any screws or tools to be used.
• Low costs associated with the installation.
• It has a high-density contact design that can provide yield a stable data connection.
• High resistance to environmental conditions.

The ZHR-2-M housing has been designed to be used in multiple industries where the need of robust, reliable and safe connection between two electrical components is magnified, such as in the automation, aerospace and digital/computing sectors. In this type of situation, the ZHR-2-M housing ensures that the connection between the two electrical components is permanent, regardless of the environment it is exposed to.

Due to the resistance of the housing, it has become one of the go-to housing types for many industries that require reliable connections between two devices. Additionally, as the ZHR-2-M housing is customizable and resistant to corrosive materials, it has been popularly used in marine-based applications. The housings are COB- and through-hole-compatible, which allows for easier integration into an existing setup.

The ZHR-2-M housing type is an incredibly robust housing type that provides a reliable physical connection solution for multiple industries, both inside and outside marine applications. With its low cost, environmental resistance and increased security, it has become an ideal solution for many connectors requiring a secure, safe connection between two devices.
