Working Principle

71920-308 connector consists of two mating components, header and receptacle. The header is a metal female plug with several terminals. The terminals of the header are typically soldered to board-mounted male sockets. The receptacle is also a metal female plug and includes several metal clips that clip onto the corresponding terminals of the header.

Once the two components are mated, they provide an electrical connection between the terminals of the header and the receptacle. The connection is secured by the spring contact system. The metal clips of the receptacle apply a certain amount of pressure on the terminals of the header, thus creating a secure connection.

The 71920-308 connector provides excellent protection against shock, vibration and temperature extremes. It also offers the maximum contact stability and resistance to oxidation, solvents and other chemicals. The connection is highly resistant to misalignment and any kind of wear or abrasion.
