3185-0-15-80-30-27-10-0

Terminals - PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors - encompass a variety of applications and working principles. A three-tiered system is commonly used in electronics to identify and classify connectors, such as the 3185-0-15-80-30-27-10-0.

The three tiers are the type code, pin count, and culture. The type code tier is the first tier and is represented by the first four positions of the complete 3185-0-15-80-30-27-10-0 code. It typically refers to the shape of the connector which is the PC pin receptacles. The second tier, which is the pin count tier, represents the number of pins or sockets that the terminal can accommodate. In the 3185-0-15-80-30-27-10-0 code, the pin count is 15; this means that the terminal has 15 pins or sockets. The third tier comprises the culture and is the last two numbers of the 3185-0-15-80-30-27-10-0 term code. The culture generally specifies the contact material and/or shell plating. In the case of the 3185-0-15-80-30-27-10-0 term code, the culture is 27-10-0 which requires a Nickel shell plating and a contact material that is not specified.

The primary application of PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors is in the transmission of data between devices. It is the most common type of connector used in computer systems today; it helps to connect peripheral components such as keyboards, mice, and printers. The typical applications for PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors range from networking, data transmission, signal routing and more. Many terminals use a gold plating on their contacts which provides for superior corrosion resistance and an increased contact life, as well as improved electrical connection.

The standard working principle of PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors is straightforward; it comprises insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) that are arranged in a grid format. Each terminal is configured with an array of male and female interfaces that make contact when inserted into the receptacles on either side. The contacts on the male side are configured to mate with the corresponding contacts on the female side. The contacts are held in place by a latching mechanism that ensures a secure connection. This ensures that the connection is not disturbed during use.

The use of PC Pin Receptacles, Socket Connectors is not limited to computers; they are also used in other electronic devices such as medical equipment, telecommunications, audio/visual equipment, and more. The design and configuration of these terminals is a critical factor in the performance of the device; the proper selection of a terminal is important in the reliability and performance of the device.
