Modular Connectors - Jacks

A modular connector, also known as a jack, is a type of electrical connector for transmitted signal purposes. It is popular in many consumer electronic devices and industrial equipment. Specifically, the 558066-1 is a modular jack with internal latching and two piece cable clamps. It is a precision engineered connector that offers reliable service and high performance in data applications.

The 558066-1 is designed for use in computer networks, telecommunication systems, video and audio systems, high-speed broadcast equipment, and other areas. It also meets UL and CSA standards. The device itself is made of a combination of metals for maximum strength and durability. It also has a polyamide or metal body and a dielectric material. The contact pins are mostly made of beryllium copper.

Application Field

The 558066-1 works for all kinds of audio/video and data cabling applications. It can be used in a variety of computer, telecommunication, home entertainment, and satellite applications. It\'s ideal for applications such as digital audio, video, data and fiber optic cable connections. It is also used for patching telephone systems, connecting CATV equipment, and in CCTV systems.

When used with the appropriate media or cables, this modular connector is capable of transmitting signals with extremely low levels of crosstalk and extremely high levels of loss attenuation. This helps to ensure a clean, clear signal transmission when compared to other types of connectors.

Working Principle

The 558066-1 utilizes a plug-and-play system to quickly and easily connect wires and cables. It features an internal latching mechanism for quick and easy connections. The actual plug has two parts: a cable clamp and a housing. The cable clamp is made out of brass with a nickel-plated finish and can accommodate cables with diameters of up to 5mm. The housing is made of UL 94V-0 rated ABS, which ensures a secure connection.

The device is designed to have two contact pins, which are spring-tempered contacts that provide reliable connections. The contacts are designed to minimize crosstalk and reduce signal loss. The pins are also designed to fit snugly into the connector so that there is no loose connection. The pins feature a half-twist connection, which ensures that the pins are properly connected.

Once the two parts of the plug are connected, the internal latching mechanism secures the connection and ensures that it is secure. The sturdy construction also ensures that the plug will stay connected even when subject to vibration and shock.

The 558066-1 is a robust and reliable modular connector that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is designed for reliability, performance, and ease of use. It offers a secure connection, and its low crosstalk and low attenuation ensure that signals are clean and clear.
