Modular Connectors - Jacks

10118075-513B010LF

The 10118075-513B010LF is a 8×8 contact, board mountable modular jacks. It is part of TE Connectivity’s extensive line of engineered modular connectivity components. This connector features a space-saving design, allowing users to save up to 60% of board space when compared to traditional rectangular-style jacks.

Application Fields

The 10118075-513B010LF features a wide array of applications in the telecommunications industry, including LAN, networking, VoIP, and other related applications. Further applications include applications in the fields of computing, industrial automation, consumer electronics, audio/video, automotive, and medical. Notably, due to its UL 94V-0 rating and IEC 61076-3-104 compliance, it is also suitable for applications requiring safety rating.

Working Principle

The basic working principle of the 10118075-513B010LF is that it enables secure mating of two circuits or pieces of equipment. When mated, these circuits or pieces of equipment will be firmly electrically and mechanically connected. The connection is achieved by the coupling nut which is secured onto the connector. As the coupling nut is tightened, the contact pins on one connector will slide into the contact slots of the other connector, thus securing the connection.

In operation, these connector pins are subject to contact force, insertion force, and withdrawal force. The contact force applied to the pins help ensure reliable electrical connection, while the insertion force help ensure secure and proper placement of the pins in their slots. The withdrawal force, in turn, helps to ensure reliable disconnection when necessary.

To further secure the connection, optional locking mechanisms may be featured. Depending on the application, variants of this connector may include push-pull, screw, and keying features which help ensure the two pieces of equipment being connected stay firmly mated together, thus reducing the risks of accidental disconnect.
