What is the purpose of the connector housing?

The shell directly presents the first impression of the connector image, and it is also the user's first impression of the connector. But a good shell should not only have good visual beauty and feel, but also be one of the key physical structures of the connector, which plays a very important role. So, do you know the specific function of the connector housing? Today, Huichengyuan connector manufacturer is here to talk to you about this issue.

What role does a connector housing play? 1. Play the role of mechanical protection. The housing isolates the connector inside and outside for mechanical protection. Especially for external connectors used in collisions, outdoor environments or electronic products, its robust housing effectively resists external mechanical action and prevents damage to insulation and contactors. 2. It plays a waterproof and dustproof role. The housing can protect the internal structure of the connector from dust, water, and other external environmental factors. Especially in underwater or outdoor connectors, the housing of the connector also has different degrees of high sealing performance. 3. Play the role of support and installation thermal insulation. When the contactor-fitted insulator is mounted on the connector housing, the contactor can obtain a precise spatial position through the housing in the plug and socket, thus ensuring high accuracy of intermatching. 4. Play the role of connecting and separating plugs and sockets. The connection, locking and separation of the connector plug and socket is achieved by mechanical action between the housing parts. Its orientation and positioning requires the fit of the housing. 5. Play the role of installing and fixing connectors. In the structural design of connectors, it is usually used to fix connectors to panels or devices. 6. Play the role of fixing the cable. Wiggling and twisting occurs when the flexible cable is threaded into the rigid structure of the connector, and the combination of the back cover of the connector housing and the clamping coil can make it tighter. 7. Combination of visual aesthetics and product functions. The appearance of today's industrial connectors no longer only meets functional requirements, but pays more attention to the combination of visual aesthetics and functions. Therefore, connectors with more industrial aesthetics are more popular with consumers. 8. Play the role of electrical shielding (shielding only) For industrial connectors with shielding function, in addition to the cable requiring a shielding layer, the connector shell should be designed with an all-metal electrical shielding structure, which can shield and protect the inside of the connector.
