58102-S61-10LF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins technology has been around for several decades and is a widely used type of connector in a variety of applications, including electronics and electrical projects. The 58102-S61-10LF is a Male Pin Rectangular Connector, part of the S Shaped Wire-to-Board Connectors family developed by TE Connectivity.

Features

The 58102-S61-10LF is an 8-pin plug-in style connecter, which provides a secure and reliable interface for the connection of circuits. This particular model of the S Series is designed with a pitch of 0.65mm, and is suited for micro applications with limited space considerations. It is a low profile option, as it has a current rating of 1 A. It is also noted for its large power handling capacity, allowing it to connect high power densities. Additionally, this connector provides superior contact retention and excellent electrical performance.

The connector is made with thermoplastic material, granting it greater mechanical strength to stand up to stress from vibration and shock, and provides superior insulation. Operating temperatures range from -25° to 85°C. It is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, meaning it is a safe and eco-friendly choice.

Application Field and Working Principle

58102-S61-10LF is primarily used in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries in a variety of electronic and electrical projects, due to its size and its rugged construction. It has been tested and proven in harsh, extreme conditions. It is designed to provide a secure connection between components in applications such as structural monitoring equipment, camera and radar systems, and/or entertainment components.

The design of the 58102-S61-10LF allows for a compact, reliable connection, as it has a low profile contact system, allowing many pins to be packed closely together. This design also helps to rapidly dissipate heat away from the contacts, preventing them from overheating. The insulator material is designed for contact stability and superior current carrying performance.

The connector works by employing a secure, mating interface that provides electrical connection using two pairs of mating pins. The pins on each side are designed with a unique shape, to ensure that the connection is properly secured. Once the pins are mated, electrical connection is established. Depending on the application, it is possible to incorporate various mounting styles into the design, such as surface mount and through-hole, enabling the connector to be fitted securely and stably in a suitable location.

Conclusion

Overall, the 58102-S61-10LF Male Pin Rectangular Connector from TE Connectivity is an ideal choice for a range of applications, particularly if limited space is a major consideration. It is designed to provide superior electrical performance while maintaining a secure connection, and has been well tested and proven in a variety of weather and environmental conditions. Its insulator material and contact design makes it suitable for long-term performance in harsh conditions.
