10124677-0021101LF

Memory connectors, specifically inline module sockets such as the 10124677-0021101LF are ubiquitous, convenient components used for connecting between a board and a processor or between two boards together in application settings. As a multi-pin connector, it is important to understand their application fields and working principles in order to make the best use of these connectors.

Application Field

Inline module sockets such as the 10124677-0021101LF require that the cover on the strain relief protect the socket, allowing multiple circuits, and differing levels of pins in order to maximize the space efficiency of the connectors. This makes these connectors ideal for applications that require large amounts of data or power sharing, or where extreme vibration or environment conditions exist.

The 10124677-0021101LF adapter also gives rise to a cable assembly that can be used to greatly reduce the board assembly efforts. This makes the adapter ideal for use in products where long term or short term connections are needed.

This connector is applicable in a number of commercial and consumer electronics industries including consumer electronics, computers, handhelds, GPS, gaming and automotive. It is also suitable for applications such as industrial networking, audio and video equipment, transportation, medical, aerospace, and military sectors.

Working Principle

When the module socket is engaged, the pins on the module socket are inserted into corresponding slots in the board. Internal spring contacts at the bottom of the module socket press to make contact with signal traces present on the board.

When the module socket is removed, the spring contacts bounce back to their original position, releasing tension and breaking the contact. This allows the module socket to be removed safely without the need for soldering, so repairs and upgrades can be made quickly, easily and safely.

In addition to releasing tension for the module socket, the spring contacts also make contact with the signal traces on the board, ensuring that a secure electrical connection is established. This makes the module socket extremely reliable, even in cases of extreme vibration or in challenging environments.

Conclusion

The 10124677-0021101LF inline module socket is an invaluable connector for board and processor installations. This versatile socket provides superior durability, reliability and quick and easy installation, making it a great choice for a wide range of applications. From consumer electronics to the more demanding industries such as aerospace and military, the 10124677-0021101LF can handle the job.
