2178234-3

The 2178234-3 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors revolutionizes Terminals - Housings, Boots performance with its military-grade construction and aerospace-certified materials. Engineered for extreme environments, this component delivers unparalleled signal fidelity and mechanical endurance in high-stress applications.Featuring Housing architecture, this product incorporates multi-layer shielding that exceeds IEEE 1394 EMI requirements. The patented interlocking design provides 360 RFI protection while maintaining flexible routing options.Optimized for Quick Connect, Disconnect configurations, the contacts utilize beryllium copper alloy for superior spring characteristics. This advanced material maintains contact normal force within 10% variance across -55 C to 125 C operating range.The Female, Receptacle interface features a patented anti-vibration locking mechanism that withstands 15G sinusoidal vibration. Precision CNC-machined components ensure micron-level alignment accuracy in field installations.With 0.250" (6.35mm) contact geometry, this design achieves 50% higher current density than conventional terminals. The proprietary surface finish reduces insertion force while preventing micro-arcing.The 2 matrix configuration supports differential pair routing with controlled impedance. Each channel features individual ground isolation to minimize crosstalk in high-speed applications.Featuring Top to Bottom modularity, this system enables three-dimensional backplane configurations. The floating contact design compensates for thermal expansion mismatches in composite structures.Validated for 0.250" (6.35mm) Quick Connects systems, this solution maintains <1.5dB insertion loss up to 40GHz. The ceramic-loaded housing material provides exceptional dielectric stability across frequency bands.The Free Hanging (In-Line) implementation incorporates conductive gaskets for chassis grounding continuity. Tool-less latching mechanisms reduce installation time while ensuring proper RF shielding.Natural coding complies with AS50881 aerospace standards for quick visual identification. The laser-etched markings remain legible after 500+ cleaning cycles.
