Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets
This article will discuss the use, application field and working principle of SFMC-118-01-L-D type rectangular connectors, which are classed as headers, receptacles, and female sockets. It is important to know the inner workings of this type of connector to make sure that it is suitable for the intended application.
Introduction
SFMC-118-01-L-D type connectors use low-friction, low-resistance connectors with gold-plated contacts to achieve reliable electrical connections. These connectors are designed for easy and reliable connection in a variety of applications, and are suitable for use in harsh or corrosive environments. They can also be used in extremely high-frequency applications, such as in radio and microwave communication systems, because of their low-resistance and high-friction characteristics.
Application Field and Usage
SFMC-118-01-L-D type connectors are commonly used in a variety of areas including automotive, military, medical, and avionic applications. They are especially suitable for use in mating or disconnecting electrical components where low-resistance connections and a rugged design are needed, such as in extreme temperature environments and high-vibration applications. This type of connector is also suitable for use in RF applications, due to its lower signal loss characteristics.
Working Principle
SFMC-118-01-L-D type connectors use a friction pin-and-socket structure to create a reliable electrical connection. The pin and socket are made of gold-plated contact surfaces which minimize signal loss and allow connections that can withstand repeated mating cycles. The interconnects are designed to create a tight, low-resistance connection. The pin is inserted into the socket, and pressure is applied to ensure a secure connection. When the connection is made, the pin automatically locks in place and any further movement is prevented. This design also prevents any rattling and ensures durability for long-term use.
Conclusion
SFMC-118-01-L-D type connectors are a versatile and reliable interconnect solution for a variety of applications. They use low-resistance contacts for reliable electrical connections and are designed for ruggedness, reliability, and long-term use. The pin and socket are gold-plated to ensure a low-signal loss and repeatable performance. The interconnects also provide a secure, low-resistance connection and are suitable for use in applications that require vibration resistance and extreme temperatures.
