55508-106

The 55508-106 rectangular connectors are designed to create a secure and reliable electrical connection between two points. They are typically used in electrical and electronic equipment where multiple circuits must be connected, such as in computers, printers, and other communication devices. These connectors are available in both male and female versions, and come in a variety of sizes and pin configurations.

The typical function of a 55508-106 rectangular connector is to provide a two-pole connection between two points. Two interlocking connection points – a male and female – are attached by a cable, with each point bearing pins that fit through two holes on each side of the cable. When the pins are inserted into the holes, the two points are securely locked in place and current can flow through. This type of connector is also referred to as a "bayonet-style" connector because the pin inserts into the hole like a bayonet.

The 55508-106 rectangular connector is usually constructed from plastic or metal, though other materials may be used as well. The pins are usually made of copper or brass, while the contacts are typically made of either silver or gold. The connectors are often fitted with external seals and are designed to resist water, dust, and other contaminants, making them suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The connectors are also protected from shorting and arcing by a layer of insulating material.

The working principle of the 55508-106 rectangular connector is based on the creation of a secure electrical connection between two points. The connector is first secured to the cable by pressing the male pin into the female receptacle, with the two poles locking into place when secured. The resulting connection is then tested to ensure that current flows properly, with any potential problems being addressed immediately.

The 55508-106 rectangular connector is a reliable and efficient electrical connection option for a variety of applications. It is commonly used in computers, printers, and other communication devices, as well as in industrial equipment. The connector is designed for quick and easy installation, and provides a reliable electrical connection that can withstand harsh environmental conditions.
