5102321-6 Application Field and Working Principle

The 5102321-6 is a female header with a 6-position, 2-row. This series of headers from JST are compact, reliable, and secure with a positive lock. They are unique in connectivity, with a double finger alignment mechanism and 1.27mm pin and socket dimension for headers.

The body and contact parts of the 5102321-6 is made of brass material. The surface finish is tin-plated, and is one of the most widely used plug-in series. They have excellent electrical performance, and the head and cut-off body has good strength and stain resistance. There are polarity tabs for orientation, which allows for easy insertion and secure connection.

Application

The 5102321-6 can be used in a variety of applications including power supplies, control boxes, and connection systems. The product\'s small size and robust design also makes it suitable for assembly of electrical circuits for industrial controls, medical devices, lighting fixtures, and other multicomponent systems. In addition, the series is suitable for automated assembly line production for the electronic industry.

Working Principle

When the 5102321-6 is plugged in, its two male pins are connected to two female slots, forming a complete electrical circuit. The female slots are designed to only accept the correctly-sized male pins, which ensures a secure connection. This secure connection is maintained by a double finger alignment mechanism which helps to reduce electrical noise and improve signal integrity. The positive locking mechanism prevents accidental lock and disconnection while in operation, and the polarity tabs provide additional orientation to simplify the connection.

The 5102320-6 is designed to prevent reverse connection of power and signal lines. This is achieved using its crimp terminal tails that are connected to the rear end of the header. This allows for more reliable electrical performance than through-hole pins, and also provides additional strain relief.
