54202-S0805ALF Connectors, Interconnects

54202-S0805ALF is a type of rectangular connector commonly used in various electronic circuit applications. The connector is so named because of its male pins which are sized 0.8mm by 5mm. Depending on the specific application, the 54202-S0805ALF may be used with a wide range of other components, including male headers, female headers, and PCBs.

The 54202-S0805ALF is available in two different configurations: with pins facing up or with pins facing down. The version with pins facing up is commonly referred to as the "top entry" connector. It is designed and manufactured for applications where the mating component needs to be installed from the top side of the board.

The version with pins facing down is commonly referred to as the "solder tail" connector. It is designed and manufactured for applications where the mating component needs to be installed from the bottom side of the board. The solder tail version is also suitable for SMT applications, as its surface-mountable design makes it very easy to implement into an existing SMT assembly line.

The working principle of the 54202-S0805ALF connectors is relatively straightforward. The connector features two sets of male pins, which are connected to a plastic housing. This housing is designed to accommodate both the pins and the mating components. When two components are mated together, the male pins on the 54202-S0805ALF are inserted into the female receptacles on the mating components. The male pins on the connector establish a physical connection between the two components.

The 54202-S0805ALF is suitable for a variety of applications. It is particularly advantageous when connecting circuitry on different boards, as it enables electrical signals to be transferred between the two boards with minimal interference. The connector is also useful for signal routing within a single board. In addition, it can be used as part of a custom solution to select a specific voltage signal.

Given the versatility of the 54202-S0805ALF, it is an essential part of many electronic circuit applications. The connector’s size is well suited for a number of applications and its two configuration options make it suitable for a range of different types of circuits. The connector’s reliable performance and durability have made it the go-to choice for many engineers and designers.
