54202-T0820LF

54202-T0820LF rectangular connectors are a type of header with long male pins. They are commonly used in industrial applications to connect two different circuit boards, often when the two boards have different heights or spacings. The connectors consist of a mating pair – a header (or receptacle) and a plug – and each consists of two parts – the contacts and the housing.

The contacts, which connect two circuits, can either be a female connector (or socket) or a male connector (or pin). For this connector type, the contacts used are long male pins. These male pins have a higher contact pitch than their counterparts, and are therefore used when there is a need for higher current ratings or more power. The pins also come in a variety of heights, allowing for connectors with different sizes.

The header of the 54202-T0820LF connector has an insulated mounting plate, and two symmetric mounting slots. The pins can be fitted into the rear of the mounting plate, and the housing can then be slid over the pins. The pins are held in place by two separate locking clips, while the front part of the housing serves as a mounting point for the connector’s mounting hardware and/or other components. The rear of the housing contains the contact pins. The contacts are arranged in two rows, giving the connector a frictional locking system.

In terms of their working principle, the 54202-T0820LF connector ensures that the two circuit boards are correctly connected and remain stable and secure. The frictional locking system ensures that the connector does not become loose due to vibration or other physical phenomena. The pins on the connector provide the electrical connection between the two boards, and the frictional locking system ensures that the connection is stable. The mounting plate also ensures that the connector is securely attached to the board.

The 54202-T0820LF connector is a reliable and versatile solution for interconnecting two different circuit boards. The long male pins and frictional locking system make it suitable for industrial applications, where high current ratings and robust connections are needed. The flexible mounting plate and wide range of mounting heights make the connector suitable for boards with different heights and spacings.
