Component Specifications

Definition
An electrical connector housing is a structural component designed to encase and protect electrical connectors within industrial machinery, specifically in end-effector mounts. It provides mechanical support, environmental sealing, and electrical insulation for connector pins and sockets, ensuring reliable signal and power transmission in automated systems. These housings are engineered to withstand vibration, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to contaminants while maintaining precise alignment of connector elements.
Working Principle
The housing operates by physically securing electrical connectors in a fixed position, providing strain relief for cables, and creating a sealed environment that prevents dust, moisture, and chemical ingress. It ensures proper mating of connector pins through precise dimensional tolerances and alignment features, while its insulating properties prevent electrical shorts and interference.
Materials
Typically made from engineering thermoplastics such as PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), PA (Polyamide/Nylon), or PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) with UL94 V-0 flame retardant ratings. May include metal inserts or shielding for EMI/RFI protection. Operating temperature range: -40°C to +125°C. Dielectric strength: ≥15 kV/mm.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP67
  • Contact Pitch 2.5mm to 5.0mm
  • Housing Color Black (standard), other colors available
  • Mounting Type Panel mount, cable mount, or board mount
  • Current Rating Up to 20A
  • Locking Mechanism Screw lock, push-pull, or bayonet style
  • Operating Voltage Up to 600V AC/DC
Standards
ISO 8092, DIN 41612, IEC 61076
