Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors, also known as headers, receptacles and female sockets, refer to the type of electrical devices featuring an array of metal terminals in a rectangular housing. The type of rectangular connector found with the model number 310-93-127-41-001000, also referred to as an RJ-45 modular connector, is a variation of the standard 8P8C modular connector. Specifically, this connector is a shielded female version, since it has a metal shell on its side and is not routinely used in direct-wire applications.

These rectangular connectors are extremely diverse. They can be implemented in a variety of operational scenarios, ranging from telephone systems to audio systems to robotics. In addition, the unique features of this type of connector make it well-suited for cases in which tamper resistance or environmental resistance are of the essence. Furthermore, since the part number 310-93-127-41-001000 carries with it interlocking capabilities, it is often employed in applications requiring a secure connection.

Application Field

Due to its aforementioned features, the RJ-45 connector found within the model 310-93-127-41-001000 is chiefly used in the telecommunications field. It is the most commonly deployed variety out of all the 8P8C models due to its versatility. Its ruggedness and dependability, combined with the ease of use, make this type of rectangular connector highly desirable for purposes of connecting electronic devices for establishing a connection over telephone lines.

Other than telecommunications, RJ-45 connectors can also be used in the cases of laptop and desktop computers, routers and hubs, gaming devices and other similar devices that require a strong connection. There are certain variations of the RJ-45 connector found within the model 310-93-127-41-001000, including shielded or unshielded versions, that can be utilized in different application fields. This wide range of applications is mainly thanks to the fact that the same rectangular connector can be used to transmit either analogue or digital signals.

Working Principle

The rectangular connector found in the 310-93-127-41-001000 model essentially carries out three jobs; it makes the mechanical connection, it secures the connection and it transmits the electric current. The mechanical connection involves responding to the plug, which is inserted into a port through the insertion of pins. In this case, the RJ-45 connector is equipped with 8P8C that are 8-packs of 8-contacts. This allows for more secure mating of the plug to the port.

As far as electric current transmission goes, these RJ-45 connectors are much better suited than comparable modular connectors – such as 2.5 mm phone connectors for example – when it comes to creating and maintaining strong, interference-free connections. This is especially true for the shielded variant of the connector, which – of course – is capable of providing superior performance with regards to enhancing lightning protection through the implementation of electrostatic screening.

On the other hand, taken the wider variety of 8P8C connectors, different implementations are better suited for different applications. For instance, unshielded models are more suitable for digital signal transmission while shielded ones are more appropriate for transmitting analogue signals. None the less, the common denominator across all RJ-45 connectors is that they are robust and reliable, allowing for potential hermetic sealing and a way to conserve power too, thanks to their small size.
