28-600-20

The 28-600-20 is a type of angled, rectangular electrical connector used in electronic circuits. It is also known as a PCB header, a generic term for a two-piece electrical connector consisting of a socket and a plug, each containing several metal contacts. This type of connector is especially useful in high vibration applications, thanks to its angled design, which makes it resistant to mechanical shocks.

The 28-600-20 stands out from other types of connectors because it is quickly and easily installed. It is particularly popular for its low-profile design, making it ideal for installations with tight spaces. Additionally, the pins are lined up in parallel without any staggered configuration, making it suitable for applications where signal speed and accuracy are important. It also cuts down on installation time compared to other types of connectors that require additional parts. Furthermore, it comes with built-in current limiting capability.

In terms of design, the 28-600-20 has a molded, angled, rectangular housing made of non-magnetic plastic material, and pins of metal or gold-plated brass, depending on the application. The housing can contain either five or eighteen pins for increased versatility. The angled housing enables wires to be joined quickly and securely, while the pins keep the connection stable. The pins are also shrouded and firmly seated, ensuring optimal contact between the two components.

In terms of function, the 28-600-20 serves multiple purposes in electronic circuits. Generally, these types of connectors are used as two-way links between a piece of hardware and a computer motherboard. They are also used for power supplies, audio applications, signal transmission, and other industrial applications. More specifically, the 28-600-20 is used in audio-visual equipment, as well as in robotics, lights, control systems, medical equipment, military equipment, and telecommunications equipment.

The 28-600-20 connector operates on the principle of induced contact. This means that when power is supplied to the connector, the contact extends to make contact with the port or socket of the device. Since contact needs to be made to ensure the connection, a good contact is achieved by having the pins of the 28-600-20 connector perfectly aligned and securely seated. This helps to reduce the risk of contact failure due to vibration and other environmental conditions.

To ensure reliability and functionality, the 28-600-20 connector is equipped with built-in EMI (electromagnetic interference) suppression. This prevents the connector from generating any additional electromagnetic interference which can disrupt the signals or systems. Additionally, it also helps to protect the connector from any external sources of interference. As such, it is well-suited for applications with high EMI requirements.

In conclusion, the 28-600-20 is a versatile rectangular electrical connector used in a wide range of applications. Thanks to its low-profile design, quick installation process, and high contact reliability, it stands out from other types of connectors. It is also equipped with built-in current limiting capability and EMI suppression, making it suitable for high vibration and high EMI applications.
