68402-205LF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets is a type of connections widely used in various applications and industries. They are quite popular for their quick and easy wiring, robustness, and ease in reconfiguration.

The 68402-205LF is designed specifically as a surface mount two-pin female socket connector and one of its key features is a 20 AMP current carrying capacity which make it ideally suitable for power related applications. The device is also available in a variety of sizes dropping down to 0.050” x 0.100” and reducing as far as 0.032” x 0.050”.

The 68402-205LF connects together two printed circuit boards (PCB) or wiring disciplines in both the vertical and horizontal directions. It has a specially designed arm that operates as a locking mechanisms, allowing the two devices to be connected within the same orientation. The arm also holds the connector firmly in place and prevents it from twisting or becoming disconnected during usage.

Its working principle is quite simple. It first requires an operator to insert the two parts of the connector into separate PCBs. After ensuring that the pins of the two parts are properly aligned, the operator then presses the arm together so that it locks into place, securing the connection. The arm’s latch keeps the 68402-205LF connector from disconnecting until an operator applies enough force to remove it. The arms are typically made from stainless steel for added strength and durability.

The 68402-205LF can be used in a wide range of applications such as data transmission, power distribution, signal transmission, and many more.

Data transmission applications include connecting different devices together such as two computers or a computer and a printer. It can also be used to connect multiple pieces of wiring as part of a network. The 68402-205LF is particularly useful in this application due to its quick and easy wiring, robustness, and ease in reconfiguring the connection.

Power distribution applications include connecting electrical components such as resistors and circuits. The 68402-205LF can handle high currents due to its 20 AMP current carrying capacity, making it a great choice for this type of application.

Signal transmission applications require a signal to flow between two devices such as a light bulb and an electrical switch. The 68402-205LF is ideal for this application due to its secure locking mechanism and low contact resistance.

The 68402-205LF is a robust and reliable connector that can be used in a wide range of application fields. Its quick and easy wiring, robustness, and ease in reconfiguration make it an ideal choice for data transmission, power distribution, and signal transmission applications.
