About Rectangular Connector Housings

Rectangular connector housings provide physical protection and alignment for electrical contacts in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board systems. They safeguard connections against environmental hazards like dust, moisture, and mechanical stress while maintaining precise contact positioning for reliable mating cycles. Proper housing selection directly impacts connection integrity, especially in high-vibration or temperature-fluctuating environments.

These components serve as the structural foundation for modular interconnect systems across industries. Their standardized dimensions enable interoperability between devices from different manufacturers, while variations in material composition allow optimization for specific operating conditions. Housing design critically influences overall system durability, with features like polarization keys preventing mis-mating and reinforced strain relief ensuring wire retention.

FAQs

Q: Are contacts included with this housing?
A: No, this is a housing-only product. Compatible crimp contacts must be sourced separately.

Q: What wire gauges does this housing support?
A: Designed for standard 22-28 AWG wires when used with appropriate TE Connectivity crimp contacts.

Q: Is this housing RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, all TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod IV series components meet current RoHS directives.

Q: Can I use this with non-TE contacts?
A: While possible, we recommend manufacturer-matched contacts to ensure proper retention and electrical performance.

Q: What’s the difference between receptacle and header housings?
A: Receptacles (like this product) typically accept male pins, while headers receive female sockets. Always verify mating compatibility.

Q: How does glass-filled nylon improve performance?
A: The glass reinforcement increases tensile strength by 40% versus standard nylon and improves dimensional stability across temperature extremes.
