0022142174 Datasheet/PDFRectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets
Rectangular connectors come in many variations to fit different applications. They include headers, receptacles, female sockets, and interconnection cards. Most of the commonly used contacts are suitable for printed-circuit applications and come assembled, which makes them useable as plug-in components. Depending on their shape and design, rectangular connectors can join a pair of boards or a board to a wire.
0022142174 Application Field and Working Principle
The 0022142174 Rectangular Plug (also known as a header) is specifically designed for the telecommunications industry. This plug is the female counterpart to a male header such as a board to board or board to wire connection.
The 0022142174 is a double row of 10 poles with an \'L\' shaped contact retention latch which helps ensure secure connections. The plug is secured using two #4-40 screws and a jackscrew to ensure reliable cable retention. The shell is made of durable black thermoplastic with the contacts being beryllium-copper, plated with tin for extra corrosion protection. It has an operating temperature range of -55 ºC to +125 ºC.
When mated with a male header, the latch on the plug locks into the slots of the male header. This provides a reliable electrical and mechanical connection between the two components. The pins then make contact with the male headers contacts, and establishes an electrical connection between the two components. The jackscrew ensures that it remains tightly secured. The connection is designed to handle up to 10 amps per contact and up to 20 amps per row.
Conclusion
Overall, the 0022142174 Rectangular Plug is a great option for applications requiring versatile, reliable, and high-performance connections. This plug offers high current handling capabilities and is resistant to corrosion. It is also designed to be used in various types of telecommunications applications. The latch ensures a secure connection so that the components do not come apart, and the jackscrew keeps them securely in place.
