Application Fields and Working Principle

The 55510-148LF rectangular connector, as a header, has several application fields. First, it can function as an interface between circuit boards for interconnecting printed circuit boards (PCB). The header also supports motherboards, auxiliary cards, cards edge connectors, power supply end-connections, and other PCB connections. It is designed to bear signals which require a secure connection due to the risk of possible electronic interference, such as digital and analog applications.

The 55510-148LF is designed to stand securely on the PCB board. It works by firmly seating the connectors into the mother board’s hole in order to connect two circuit boards together. The rigid and reliable two-row, 12-pin design ensures that the printed circuit board is properly fastened onto the motherboard when the connection is made. To ensure that the connector is properly secured and aligned, two phosphor bronze keyways and an alignment key on the connector are used. Furthermore, the pins are coated with tin/white plating to improve the durability of the connector and ensure a reliable connection between the pin and the socket. The pi ns also feature a round contact area that increases the reliability by providing an additional contact point, which improves signal integrity.

Conclusion

The 55510-148LF is a high-performance connector for digital and analog applications. It was designed to be a two-row, 12-pin, vertical rectangular type with a board-locking feature that ensures a secure connection between two boards. It supports signals with the help of its phosphor bronze keyways and alignment keys, as well as its tin/white plating and round contact area. When used correctly, the 55510-148LF can be a reliable connector that ensures a reliable connection in various systems.
