1-188275-2

Rectangular connectors are essential components for connecting two components, especially when both components have dissimilar shapes and sizes. One of the most popular rectangular connectors is the 188275-2 header, which is used for high-frequency electrical connections. There are three main types of 188275-2 connectors - headers, receptacles, and female sockets - and each of these variations has a unique set of features and design considerations. This article will give an overview of the 188275-2.

188275-2 Headers

The 188275-2 headers are female connectors designed to accept a pin, such as a male header from a board-to-board connection. The headers are available in two-row and three-row configurations and have an extra-long body for stability when used in high-frequency applications. The contact points have wedge-shaped ends, making it suitable for high-frequency applications down to 1.5GHz. Each contact has a two-point contact system for extra reliability and a low-resistance connection with minimal crosstalk. One of the benefits of the 188275-2 headers is its insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology, which reduces the need to use wire for high-frequency connections.

188275-2 Receptacles

The 188275-2 receptacle is the counterpart of the header and features the same contact shape and design. The receptacle has an insulated body and comes with an internal strain relief system for added protection against accidental disconnections. The contacts also feature a low-resistance design, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. Like the header, the 188275-2 receptacle also features an insulation displacement contact system, which reduces the amount of time needed to make connections.

188275-2 Female Sockets

The 188275-2 female socket is similar in design to the header and the receptacle but features an insulated body and can be used as an interconnect between two high-frequency components. The female sockets also have wedge-shaped contact points with a two-point contact system to ensure a reliable connection at high frequencies. The insulation displacement contact system also reduces the amount of time needed to make connections.

188275-2 Application Field and Working Principle

The 188275-2 header, receptacle, and female socket are designed for high-frequency applications and are commonly used in telecommunications, automotive, and industrial applications. These connectors are designed to be used with a wide range of devices, including board-to-board interconnects, home theater systems, and other high-frequency applications. The wedge-shaped contact points and low-resistance design make them ideal for low-noise transmission at high frequencies, while the insulation displacement contact system ensures that the connection is reliable and secure.
