The objective of this paper is to explain the application field and working principle of 20021321-00088D4LF rectangular connectors.

Application Field

20021321-00088D4LF rectangular connectors are designed for a range of electrical connector applications in the automotive, medical, and telecom industries and are suitable for general-purpose industrial applications. The benefits of 20021321-00088D4LF rectangular connectors include:

• High-efficiency contact interface
• Rugged design for a long service life
• Wide range of size options for a variety of applications
• Suitable for use in harsh environments
• Power carry capability
• Shock and vibration resistant
• Wide range of available mating options

The 20021321-00088D4LF rectangular connector is designed for high-precision applications and can accommodate up to 20 contacts in a single contact toploaded configuration. The modular design of the connector allows for easy installation and provides reliable power supply and signal connections in tight spaces. As it is designed for tight space requirements, it is also suitable for use in applications where space is a limitation.

Working Principle

The 20021321-00088D4LF rectangular connector features a high-precision contact interface that provides reliable signal and power delivery. The connector is fabricated from thermoplastic polyester to provide superior strength and insulation. The patented spring-loaded contact arms provide secure mating and force pull-apart protection against accidental disconnection. The wide variety of available mating options makes the connector suitable for use in different types of applications.

The contacts are made of high-temperature nickel plated copper alloy for maximum corrosion resistance and durability. The mating and unmating process is made safe and simple with the use of mating keys. The mating keys prevent incorrect mating of the connector and ensure that the correct connector is selected for each application. The contact interface design ensures reliable conductivity and high current capacity, while the gold plating protects against corrosion.

The connector also features a low-profile design and a wide range of available sizes and shapes. This allows the connector to be installed in tight spaces and gives superior performance delivering signals and power in even the most severe environments. The protective housing of the connector helps to protect the contacts against moisture, dust, and other contaminations and ensures that the connector performs reliably in all conditions.
