55508-012

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are quite common components in electronic assemblies. These connectors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all share the same purpose: to provide a secure connection between two points. One such component is the 55508-012 connector, which offers features that make it an attractive choice for PCB applications.

The 55508-012 connector is a multi-pin, right angle PCB header. It is made of thermoplastic material and features a metal-plated terminal contact. The connector is designed to be mounted on the surface of a PCB and provide secure and robust connections between components on the board. The pins are designed for through-hole mounting, which helps to ensure that the assembled components remain firmly in place.

The 55508-012 connector can be used in a variety of applications, including power delivery, data transfer, and signal routing. It is commonly used in PCBs where multiple power and/or data lines need to be connected. The connector is popularly used in applications such as computers, displays, telecommunications systems, and industrial equipment. With its thermoplastic construction, the connector is able to provide reliable long-term performance and can withstand the rigors of operating in harsh environments.

In terms of its working principle, the 55508-012 connector uses electrical contact force to transfer electrical power or signals to the required components. The electrical connections between pins are made by inserting the pins into the complementary slots in the mating connector. The force of the insertion seals the connection and keeps it safe from outside interference. The pins are designed to withstand the current of the device, which means that the connector can handle a wide range of applications.

The 55508-012 connector is a versatile and reliable solution for creating secure electrical connections between components in a PCB. Its thermoplastic construction makes it able to withstand the rigors of long-term use, while its through-hole mounting ensures that connections are kept firmly in place. Its ability to take on a variety of applications makes it a go-to choice for electronics manufacturing.
