20021311-00042T1LF

The 20021311-00042T1LF is a rectangular connector that falls within the Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets categorization, and is often used in a variety of applications. With an overall height of 0.768 inches and a length of 0.875 inches, by 0.256 inches, it fits many installations quite well. This power connector incorporates an industry standard 41-position female socket, and 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) centers. It is a single-row configuration, and is RoHS compliant.

Application

Due to its size and construction, this device is perfect for many uses, such as CPU, peripheral boards, backplanes, and embedded computing applications. With superior current and voltage ratings, this unit is very safe to use, and is superior to other rectangular sockets in its class. It has a current rating of 1.8 A per contact, and a voltage rating of 500V AC/DC.

Construction & Design

The 20021311-00042T1LF features an integral, liquid-tight “O” ring seal, that helps protect contacts and prevents the intrusion of liquids and dust. Additionally, it contains a polarizing key that prevents misalignment of adjacent connectors that utilizes the same type of connectors. Also, this unit features a special long-life plating, which makes for reliable contact performance. The contacts are gold plated, and the body is plated with tin over nickel.

Working Principle

The 20021311-00042T1LF is designed to provide secure connections between two electronic components, and prevent any accidental movement between the two pieces. This is accomplished by utilizing a polarized, spring-action contact that is made of brass with gold plating. Once the plugs are inserted into the female socket, the spring-action contact ensures that they are firmly held in place. This helps eliminate any accidental, unsecured disconnection from happening.

Conclusion

The 20021311-00042T1LF is a superior rectangular connector designed for various types of electronic applications. Its robust construction and secure contact principle makes it ideal for a number of different uses. With its high current and voltage ratings, as well as its RoHS compliant manufacturing processes, it is a reliable and safe choice for electronic applications.
