Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Aluminum Die Casting Connector Housing

Definition

This aluminum die-cast connector housing is a precision component designed to encase and protect electrical or electronic connector assemblies. It is manufactured through high-pressure die casting, which ensures dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. The housing provides EMI/RFI shielding, thermal management, and mechanical protection for connector pins and terminals. It is widely used in automotive, industrial automation, and telecommunications equipment supply chains.

The housing is typically made from ADC12 aluminum alloy, with options for zinc alloy and various surface treatment coatings. Key parameters include overall dimensions (length 50–120 mm, width 30–80 mm, height 20–60 mm), minimum wall thickness of 2.0–4.0 mm, and pin count ranging from 4 to 24. It offers an ingress protection rating of IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529, surface finish of Ra 1.6–3.2, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Electrical ratings include a rated voltage of 24–600 V AC/DC per IEC 60664 and rated current of 5–50 A per IEC 60512. The material grade is ADC12 per JIS H 5302, with a minimum tensile strength of 228 MPa per ASTM B85. Dimensional tolerance for critical mating surfaces is ±0.05 mm per ISO 8062, and the weight per housing unit ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 kg.

These values are reference ranges for typical configurations; actual specifications must be confirmed with the legal manufacturer or supplier for the specific model and application. Standards listed are procurement references and do not imply certification or compliance of any particular product.

Working Principle

The housing functions as a structural enclosure that protects internal connector components from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and mechanical impact. It also provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding, which is critical for signal integrity in electronic systems. The die-cast aluminum body aids in thermal dissipation, helping to manage heat generated during operation. The housing is designed to enable secure mating with complementary connectors, ensuring reliable electrical connections. Its dimensional accuracy, achieved through high-pressure die casting, ensures proper alignment and fit, which is essential for maintaining performance and longevity.
