Rectangular Cable Assemblies provide a wide range of electrical connection options, with their design allowing for increased flexibility and a range of benefits over traditional round wiring solutions. The 20-012-105 is a version of these popular wiring solutions. This guide will cover the application field and working principle of the 20-012-105 rectangular cable assembly.

Overview of 20-012-105

The 20-012-105 rectangular cable assembly consists of two flat insulating pieces, the outer connector housing and the insulating cover. Locking clips hold them together and electrical contacts within the connector housing provide the electrical connection points. As with most cable assemblies, the 20-012-105 has various contact layouts, sizes and voltage ratings to suit various application requirements.

Application Field

The 20-012-105 cable assemblies are designed primarily for precision wiring between mechanical components and to board-level connections on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The insulating pieces protect the electrical contacts, making them suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. Typical uses of the 20-012-105 include data bus interconnections, audio/video transmission and control systems.

Benefits of Using 20-012-105

The design of the 20-012-105 enables it to offer a range of advantages for use in a wide variety of applications. These include the following:

• High level of contact integrity – The two flat insulating pieces and the locking clips ensure that the contacts are held securely throughout the wiring life.
• High level of versatility – This cable assembly is compatible with numerous contact layouts and sizes and is rated for a range of voltage levels.
• Saves on space – Because of their flat shape, the 20-012-105 cable assemblies require less space than traditional round wiring solutions, resulting in lower installation costs.
• Increased flexibility – The flat insulating pieces can be separated from one another, allowing them to be bent and shaped as necessary.

Working Principle

The 20-012-105 rectangular cable assembly works by providing a reliable wiring connection between two components or a component and a board. This is achieved through the two flat insulating pieces and electrical contacts within the connector housing. The two insulating pieces are separated from one another, and the contacts are inserted into drilled holes on the outer connector housing. The contacts make an electrical connection by making contact with both the outer housing and the other contact in the connector assembly.

When it comes to using the 20-012-105 rectangular cable assembly, flexibility is the key. The flat insulating pieces can be separated from one another, allowing them to be bent and shaped as necessary. This means that the 20-012-105 is able to create a reliable and secure wiring connection between two components, even in cramped or tight spaces.

Conclusion

The 20-012-105 rectangular cable assembly is designed to provide a reliable and secure wiring connection between two components or a board. Its two flat insulating pieces and locking clips ensure that the contacts remain secure. Its design also provides increased flexibility, allowing it to be used in tight spaces. This makes it suitable for use in a range of applications, ranging from data bus interconnections and audio/video transmission to control systems.
