66226-045LF

FFC (Flat Flexible) Connectors are a type of connector which is designed for use in high-density connections where space is a premium. The 66226-045LF is an example of such a connector. It has a multitude of applications and uses some interesting principles to do its job.

The 66226-045LF is a family of connectors designed by Molex to reduce the number of interconnection points needed in a high-density field. They are typically used in medical applications, including blood-processing machines and infusion pumps. They are also used in industrial applications, such as circuit boards and telecommunications equipment.

The 66226-045LF has an array of pins which make contact with traces and pads on the board. These pins can be interconnected depending on which traces and pads are required to be connected. This allows for an extremely efficient use of space as the pins and traces only have to be connected when necessary.

The 66226-045LF also has a lock lock mechanism which ensures that the connector remains securely in place. This is important as it ensures that the connections are reliable and remain secure even in high vibration environments. This is one of the features which makes the 66226-045LF particularly suited for use in medical and industrial applications where reliability is paramount.

The 66226-045LF also has a robust housing which protects the connector from dust and debris. This is due to the use of a resilient FR4 material which has been tested to meet UL94V0. The housing has also been designed to survive temperatures of up to 125°C.

Overall, the 66226-045LF is an ideal connector for high-density applications. Its design allows for efficient use of space, and it also has a secure lock mechanism and robust housing. These features together make it the perfect choice for medical and industrial applications where reliability and robustness are essential.
