Pluggable Connectors

Pluggable connectors are components that can be inserted in or connected to an electrical device to streamline the operation of the device. The most common types of pluggable connectors are power connectors, signal connectors, RF connectors, coaxial connectors, and fiber-optic connectors. Power connectors are used to transfer and control the amount of electrical current from one point to another, while signal connectors are used to transmit simple digital signals. RF (radio frequency) connectors are used to send wireless communication signals, while coaxial connectors are used to transmit signals through an insulated wire. Fiber-optic connectors are used to transmit the signals through protected glass or plastic fibers.

The 3880-B-18P pluggable connector is a rectangular connector designed to be used in 18 mm electrical devices. It has a built-in switch that is actuated by two external pins, allowing for simple on/off control of the device. The connector is designed with a metal gasket to secure the connection and reduce the amount of EMI (electromagnetic interference).

Application Field

The 3880-B-18P pluggable connector is primarily designed for use in 18 mm electrical devices, such as industrial devices and equipment, medical equipment, such as X-ray machines and diagnostic tools, and consumer electronics, including home theater systems, automotive audio systems, and gaming consoles. It is also used in audio and video systems, including video production systems, home stereo systems, and communication systems, among others.

Working Principle

The 3880-B-18P pluggable connector works by providing an electrical connection between two points. The connector is equipped with two pins which actuate its built-in switch, allowing for the simple on/off control of the device. Once two matching pins are inserted into the connector, the switch is automatically actuated, providing the connection between the two points. The connection is also secured by a metal gasket to reduce the amount of EMI.

The 3880-B-18P pluggable connector is a reliable and efficient way to provide an electrical connection between two points. It is simple to use, allowing for quick and easy connections, and its built-in switch allows for quick on/off control of the device. Furthermore, the metal gasket provides an extra layer of protection against EMI.
