Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets play an important role in modern electronics as they provide an effective connection between two or more electronic devices, especially in situations where traditional direct wiring or specialized cables are inconvenient. One such product, the 326-83-161-41-001101, is a versatile connector, offering a number of benefits in various applications. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 326-83-161-41-001101.

Application Field

The 326-83-161-41-001101 is primarily used in a wide range of industrial automation and test equipment. It is robust enough to withstand the extremes of temperature, vibration and corrosion that are common in such applications. This also makes it suitable for use in the medical, aerospace and defense industries.

The connector is also used to connect components in electrical power systems, including the connection of wiring harnesses to components inside domestic and commercial appliances. This connector is able to handle a wide range of power levels, making it suitable for use in both low and high current applications.

Owing to its slim profile, the 326-83-161-41-001101 is also widely used in communications and networking applications, particularly in central office applications. This connector is also popular in consumer electronics, especially in applications requiring the connection of cables or wires to printed circuit boards.

Working Principle

The 326-83-161-41-001101 features two segregated electrically conductive elements, one of which is a socket and the other is a header. The header contains a number of metal pins (receptacles), which are designed to mate with the socket interior, and a number of spring-loaded retention tabs on the header side. The socket contains a number of contact pins and a number of raised retention tabs located on the socket side.

To mate the two components, the header is inserted into the socket so that the retention tabs on the header side engage with the raised retention tabs on the socket side. When the header is fully inserted, the metal pins on the receptacle mate with the contact pins on the socket interior, completing the connection. A wide range of locking and release mechanisms is available depending on the application.

To ensure a reliable connection between the two components, the 326-83-161-41-001101 connector also features a number of safeguards. These include a mating key pin to ensure that the connector can only be mated with the correct component, and metal springs on both the header and socket sides which provide contact pressure between the two components. Additionally, the connector features a strain relief mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 326-83-161-41-001101 connector can be used in a wide range of applications, from industrial automation and medical equipment to domestic appliances and communications systems. Its simple yet effective design allows for a secure, reliable connection between two components, making it a popular choice for many applications.
