3505-8150 Application Field and Working Principle

The 3505-8150 is a rectangular connector accessory from Amphenol IC, which takes advantage of both 2mm and 2.54mm shrink pitch technology for high density wire-to-board connection applications. This type of connector offers significant design advantages, such as allowing much higher connection density over traditional 2mm connectors, along with improved robustness and reliability due to its metal-clad contacts.

The 3505-8150 series come in a number of different formats, such as header, connector, stack connector, and card connector. Each of these formats is optimized for specific usage scenarios and can be customized for specific applications. For example, the header format allows the connection of multiple sub-connectors for applications requiring a larger number of terminals, while the stackable and card connector formats are suitable for use in space-restricted applications.

The connector’s working principle is based on the aluminum contacts embedded in the mating halves. The male connector is inserted into the female connector, and when the two parts are mated, the aluminum contact points on the male connector touches with the corresponding contact points on the female connector. This contact creates an electrical connection between the two parts and completes an electrical circuit.

The 3505-8150 series is designed to meet international safety standards and is constructed from high-quality materials. The connectors feature an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C as well as an IP68 rated dust/waterproof protection. Additionally, thanks to its two-level array configuration, the 3505-8150 series offers excellent resistances to many environmental factors such as shock, vibration, and wet conditions.

The 3505-8150 connector series are widely used in many industries and applications. Their high-density and robust design make them suitable for use in heavy industries such as automotive, industrial control, telecom, medical, aerospace, and others. The connectors are also favored by users that require a reliable connection with a reduced footprint in very tight spaces.

In summary, the 3505-8150 series provides users with a reliable and robust connection between two terminals for a wide variety of applications. It is vibration and shock resistant in addition to being waterproof, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
