66527-013LF

The model 66527-013LF is a type of rectangular connector commonly referred to as a header, receptacle, or female socket. This particular connector is a surface-mount, straight-blade type used to join two wires or boards together. The contact of the 66527-013LF is made from brass, and the housing is made from polyamide. This particular connector has a standard 0.079” (2.0mm) pitch and is intended for use with PCB\'s (Printed Circuit Boards). It is composed of four pins, and the contacts are gold plated and rated for 2V AC/DC.

The 66527-013LF is primarily used in industrial, telecommunication and electronic applications. It is especially popular in applications that require a durable, reliable connection in a limited space. The 66527-013LF is also often used in the automotive, medical, and aerospace industries, and it is a common component of wireless devices, PCBs, routers, switches, and computers.

The connectors are designed with an anti-chamfered design. This prevents arcing, ensures secure contact, and prevents the contacts from becoming damaged during installation. The pins are also coated with gold, which prevents corrosion and ensures consistent contact over time.

The 66527-013LF has a working principle very similar to other rectangular connectors. It functions by utilizing a spring-loaded cage that pushes the pins against the PCB when inserted. This creates an electrical connection between the pins of the PCB and the contacts of the connector. This connection is made by a physical contact between the two components, and the spring-loaded cage ensures that the pins remain locked in place.

In order to ensure a reliable connection, it is important to use the correct tools when installing the 66527-013LF. Due to the small size of the connector, it can be challenging to insert the pins by hand. For this reason, it is recommended to use a tool such as a heat gun or soldering iron to secure the pins in place. This will ensure that the connector is secured properly and will prevent any accidental disconnects.

The 66527-013LF is a versatile, reliable connector used in various applications. It is a highly effective way to make reliable connections between two boards or wires without taking up too much space. It is easy to install and ensures a stable electrical connection over time.
