71918-108LF

The 71918-108LF is classified as a male pin in rectangular connectors – headers. This type of connector is a single in-line (SIL) header that is normally used for through-hole mounting applications. It is typically applied in industrial and commercial electronics, telecommunications, and computers. Built with 0.050 inch centers and manufactured in high temperature thermoplastic, the 71918-108LF features exposed gold board-to-board mating parts.

The 71918-108LF has a total length of 0.710 inches, a width of 0.100 inches, and a thickness of 0.100 inches. It has a maximum current rating of 2.50A at 250VAC, and it achieves a maximum dielectric strength of 1000V RMS. It has deep mating pins, making it ideal for applications that require secure connections and high continuity of electrical current.

The working principle of the 71918-108LF is based on the reliable connection between two mating components, the male pins and the female header. The assembly of both parts provides a fastening and electrical connection between them, guaranteeing a reliable and secure connection. The insertion of the male pins into the female header establishes the connection. The physical contact between the components smoothly conducts, uninterrupted electrical current. To ensure a firm and reliable connection, the metal contacts from the male pins penetrate the plastic insulator lining the female header.

The 71918-10LF uses electrical conductive elements to ensure a successful mating between the male pins and the female header. These elements include a number of springs and a retention feature. The springs create constant contact pressure between both parts of the assembly, while the retention feature serves to prevent the male pins from becoming loose.

The 71918-10LF is designed to provide a reliable, safe, and robust electrical connection between two components. To ensure a successful mounting, the user must precisely calculate the torque settings when attaching the male pins to the female header. Too much torque could damage the female header, while too little torque may fail to establish a secure connection. The precise torque adjustment ensures that the male pins have enough pressure for secure insertion but not enough to be too tight.

In conclusion, the 71918-108LF is a male pin in rectangular connectors – headers, specially designed for through-hole mounting. It has a maximum current rating of 2.50A at 250VAC, a dielectric strength of 1000V RMS and a retention feature. The working principle of the component heavily relies on the mating connection of the male pins and the female header. To ensure a reliable and secure electrical connection, the user must precisely calculate the torque settings and adjust it accordingly.
