17-8-250 Adapters

17-8-250 adapters are encapsulated connectors with IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) termination or insulation displacement contact technology. The contact is a two-component, spring contact system which break into the conductor to provide electrical in the mating connections. The insulation displacement contact is an efficient and cost-effective solution and it enables a reliable connection with minimal termination effort. The 17-8-250 adapter comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations allowing the user to meet their specific requirements.

17-8-250 Application Field and Working Principle

17-8-250 adapters are commonly used in a variety of network and communications applications, including RS-232, RS485, and RS422 serial data signals, as well as twisted pair and coaxial cables. They are typically used as a replacement for crimped/soldered cable assemblies. 17-8-250 adapters feature 3 types of contact configurations; single row, dual row, and center tap. The dual row design provides an extra contact for ground, making it ideal for high-frequency applications, while the single row design provides a more compact, space-saving solution. The center tap design combines a single row configuration with a separate row of ground contacts, making it the most versatile of the three.

The working principle of a 17-8-250 adapter is relatively simple. When assembled, the adapter housing fits within the grounding cup and the mounting tabs on the housing hold the contacts in place. The contacts are then held securely in place by the contact retention system. This system ensures a secure and reliable connection between the cable, ground cup, and contacts. Once assembled, the contact tabs mate with the signal receiver contacts through insulating displacers, providing a secure electrical connection. This type of connection provides a dependable and reliable connection, which is why it is a popular choice among network installers.

Conclusion

17-8-250 adapters are an efficient and reliable solution for connecting electrical cables and provide a dependable and secure connection with minimal effort. They feature a contact retention system that ensures a secure electrical connection and are used in a variety of applications. In conclusion, 17-8-250 adapters are a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting networks and electronic components.
