55508-044LF

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are an important component in a wide range of application and industrial fields such as electronic equipment, medical, automotive or industrial automation. The 55508-044LF is one such product from a large range of connectors. This product is specifically designed for use in environments such as battery-less, current-limited, voltage-limited, and solar applications.

Both the 55508-044LF, as well as other similar products in the same family, are manufactured from insulated polymide plastic and are insulated from 1/2 inch up to 6 wire gauge. The contact area is hermetically sealed through a unique welding process that creates an airtight seal. The product also features gold plated contacts, pre-filled with oil for superior corrosion and oxidation protection, and an overall design that allows for very low contact resistance as well as minimal temperature differences.

The working principle of the 55508-044LF is based on the property of electromagnetism. As current flows through the pin of the connector, a magnetic field is created around the pin. This magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet or magnets installed inside the body of the connector and generates an external force or a crescent-shaped current that will trigger the locking mechanism of the connector.

When the force or current generated by the magnetic field is applied to the locking mechanism of the connector, the connector is pushed open and the internal mechanism activates. This mechanism then holds the connector firmly in place and prevents it from being opened easily. This is the process that allows the 55508-044LF to provide reliable and secure connections between two or more electrical components.

The 55508-044LF has many advantages including ease of use, durability, reliability, and cost efficiency. The product is designed for easy installation and offers a low-profile design which allows it to be easily fit into tight spaces and thereby ensuring maximum compatibility with the electronic equipment to be connected. The product also offers great reliability and is designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures and vibrations.

The 55508-044LF is available in a wide variety of designs and configurations, including vertical and horizontal configurations, and can be used for connecting various types of electronics, such as cell phones, computers and many other electric components. This product is also UL and CSA approved which are validation from independent laboratory as a guarantee of quality and safety.

In conclusion, the 55508-044LF is a reliable, easy to use, and cost-efficient connector and it is well-suited for various applications in different industries. Its working principle, based on the property of electromagnetism, allows it to provide secure connections and a reliable performance even in extreme environmental conditions. The product is also proven to be an ideal choice for connecting various types of electronic components, such as cell phones and computers.
