RL01-R12PE

RL01-R12PE Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets include several different connector types, such as RL01-R12PE. RL01-R12PE connectors are designed for applications requiring medium to higher power connections and signal contacts in a 24-pin single-row header and receptacle. It is an ideal choice for connectors with power demands from 1.2A to 13A and in-line contact array configuration utilizing lower voltage to 12VDC and signal transmission up to 13A.

Application Field

RL01-R12PE connectors in the rectangular connectors are primarily used in communications equipment, factory automation equipment, medical and test & measurement equipment. It is particularly useful in applications where there are certain fixture requirements for contact pitch, contact patterns, and contact positions. Additionally, it may be used in applications where both power and signal are needed.

Working Principle

The RL01-R12PE connector is designed with a single row of 24 pins with vertical and horizontal mounting options. It provides a simple, one-touch, plug and play connection for applications requiring power and signal transmission. The mating surfaces between the male and female components feature a unique wave design to ensure a secure, tight fit. When plugging/unplugging the connector, the wave design causes the contacts to move slightly outward and make contact with the mating surface for a more reliable connection.

The RL01-R12PE connector is composed of a 24-pin Single Row Female Socket and 24-pin Single Row Male Header. The female socket was designed with an unique wave design that distributes the forces of mating/unmating over a larger surface area, meaning that the contact edges do not deform when mated. The connector also has an integral mating latch that prevents accidental unmating. The Male Header is designed with 4 rows of 6pins each with a total contact area of 12.7mm in width and 8.5mm in height.

The RL01-R12PE connector is rated to a current of 8A per contact. It also has compact size and is RoHS/UL compliant. The connector is operational over a wide temperature range of -20°C ~ 80°C. The connector is also characterized with excellent contact stability due to its unique wave design. Additionally, it also offers high reliability, low profile, and reusable connections.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the rectangular connectors - headers, receptacles, female sockets are designed for various types of electronic applications, including the RL01-R12PE connector. This connector is designed for medium to higher power connections and signal contacts in a 24-pin single-row header and receptacle. It is compatible with 1.2A - 13A power demands, in-line contact array configuration and various temperatures. The wave design of the mating surfaces and integral mating latch ensures a reliable and secure connection. It is suitable for application with both power and signal requirements.
