5558188-1

Modular connectors, often referred to as jacks, are a special type of electrical connector used to join multiple sections of wire or electrical components in a circuit. Jacks are designed to be used for a wide variety of applications, from simple home audio equipment to complex industrial machinery. The number 5558188-1 is a specific type of jack with a unique application field and working principle.

The 5558188-1 jack is an industrial-grade modular connector. It is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, vibration, and high levels of humidity. It has a corrosion-resistant, die cast zinc alloy shell that provides maximum durability. Its contacts are made from BL815 copper alloy, which provides excellent electrical performance. Each contact has an ‘X’ terminal, which ensures reliable connection and enhanced heat dissipation while minimizing contact resistance. The 5558188-1 also features a metal reinforcement which is designed to provide additional strength and rigidity.

The 5558188-1 is ideal for applications where space is limited. Its compact design makes it easy to install in tight spaces, even in those where accessibility is restricted. Furthermore, its unique locking mechanism prevents unintentional release, ensuring a safe and secure connection. The 5558188-1 is also designed to provide a reliable connection with a minimum contact resistance of 3mΩ. It is rated for a maximum current of 2A and a voltage of up to 150VAC.

The working principle behind the 5558188-1 jack is relatively simple and straightforward. The contacts are designed to make a secure contact when an external device is plugged into the jack. In order for the connection to be successful, a certain amount of contact pressure must be applied. When the external device is connected, the contacts make an electrical connection and current can flow through the circuit. The external device must be disconnected in order to break the connection.

The 5558188-1 jack is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications where space is a limiting factor. Its industrial-grade construction and tight locking mechanism makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from telecommunications and medical equipment to robotics and industrial machinery. Its high-performance design and robust construction make it an ideal choice for reliable and safe connections in extreme environments. With its unique application field and working principle, the 5558188-1 jack is a popular choice among industrial users.
