Terminals - PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors

0553 Series is one of the most widely used terminals - a PC pin receptacle, socket connector. It is designed for high-speed board-to-board and cable-to-board applications. This type of terminals has a robust design, high retention force, and can mate with other 3M 540 Series connectors. They are available in numerous layouts, from 2 to 16 rows, and can accept a wide range of pin lengths.

Applications

0553 Series terminals are mainly used in laptop computers, high-speed telecommunications, car navigation, video and audio equipment. It is suitable for applications like cellphones, power supply/control systems, gaming consoles, and interconnectivity solutions. It can also be used in a variety of industrial applications, from woodworking to construction.

Working Principle

0553 Series terminals are designed to interconnect board-level components. They are made of high temperature materials, and designed to withstand 100 cycles (of mating and un-mating) on average. They create a reliable, low-resistance connection between two mating surfaces, providing a mechanical and electrical connection. When engaged, the special housing helps prevents shorts from forming between the terminals\' plated surfaces.

Attributes

0553 Series terminals offer a better and faster connection than regular wire-to-board solutions. The terminals are very reliable, withstand high temperatures, offer flammability rating UL 94V-0, and are UL Recognized Components. They won\'t corrode even when used in harsh environments, although the assembly test may not be possible in certain humidity. The terminals also provide secure assembly, as well as up to 3A current carrying capability.

Conclusion

0553 Series terminals provide a reliable and efficient connection in a wide range of applications. By establishing a secure and low-resistance connection, they can help reduce costs in the design and assembly of electrical products. They are also recognized as high-quality components and withstand multiple cycles of mating and un-mating. A wide range of layouts is available to choose from, abiding the customers\' needs.
