Modular Connectors - Jacks

Modular connectors, commonly known as jacks, are essential components used for electrical connections. Commonly found in digital telephone systems and in the pervasive RJ45 Ethernet standard, they offer significant convenience with their standardized physicality and reliable connections. The 74543-3661LF is a component from this group suitable for high-density applications due to its compact size and secure fit.

Specifications

The 74543-3661LF modular connector is designed to meet the needs of a specific application. This component measures under 2 inches in height with a width of 0.5 inches, allowing it to fit in tight spaces while still providing reliable performance. It contains 12 to 13 contacts and utilizes a standard 6-pin terminal with an impedance of 75-ohm RF coaxial connections. The center pin is gold plated while the contact shield is sufficiently crimped with a retention force and current rating of up to 2A. This connector is shielded with a stainless steel case.

Applications

The 74543-3661LF is designed for high-density applications including audio/video and communication systems. It is ideal for use in digital video systems as its robust contact design can provide reliable performance in high-speed communication transmissions. This connector is also suitable for Ethernet network connections in which it can provide reliable speed and data transfer.

Working Principles

The 74543-3661LF connector works by creating a connection between two ends, typically on a printed circuit board. Its contacts come in a variety of sizes and the male and female components need to be matched accurately to create the proper connection. Once inserted into the PCB, the connection is established when an electric current is applied by the circuitry.

The 74543-3661LF is known for its secure connection, as its stainless steel shielding protects the connection from interference while its gold-plated pins provide increased corrosion resistance. This connector also requires little maintenance as its high-quality components and design can withstand many strenuous environments.

Conclusion

The 74543-3661LF modular connector offers a reliable connection for various applications, including digital video and Ethernet networks. Its small size allows it to fit in tight spaces while still providing reliable connections thanks to its robust contact design, stainless steel shielding, and gold-plated pins. It is designed with high-quality components to require little to no maintenance and can be used in many strenuous environments.
