75880-336LF

Rectangular connectors, also known as headers, male pins, or plugs, are an electrical connection system for controlling power and handling data in electrical systems. They are commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and other electronic devices. The 75880-336LF from TE Connectivity is a type of rectangular connector designed to meet specific applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of 75880-336LF connectors.

The 75880-336LF is a board-to-wire connector, designed to make an electrical connection without the need for soldering. The connector has an IDC (Insulated-Displacement Contact) style, meaning that it will make a reliable electrical contact that does not require additional soldering. The 75880-336LF is designed for up to 12 channels of 2-16 AWG wire sizes and has a pitch of 0.1102". It is rated for a maximum current of 13 amps and accepts FFC, FPC, or 0.5mm pitch ribbon cables. The housing is made of UL94V-0 rated polyamide with a mechanical life of at least 500 cycles. It has a locking mechanism to ensure the connection is secure and it is rated for operating temperatures from -40 to +105 C.

The 75880-336LF is most commonly used in applications such as automotive, medical, and industrial equipment. From automotive, the 75880-336LF is used in both body systems (lighting and HVAC) and engine systems (e.g. sensors and actuators). In medical systems, it can be used for a variety of different applications, from medical robotics and patient monitoring systems, to blood pressure cuffs and home diabetes testing kits. In industrial systems, the 75880-336LF can be found in printer control systems, automated manufacturing control systems, and other automation solutions.

The working principle of the 75880-336LF is simple; two wires are inserted into the connector housing. The IDC contact slots in the base of the connector will grip the wires, creating a reliable electrical connection. The locking mechanism of the connector ensures that the connection stays secure in applications where vibration or movement may be present. The contacts in the 75880-336LF are gold-plated to ensure that reliability and performance in even harsh environments.

In summary, the 75880-336LF from TE Connectivity is a board-to-wire rectangular connector designed for applications that require secure and reliable electrical connections. It is a low-profile connector with a locking mechanism and is rated for operating temperatures between -40 and +105 C. It is most commonly used in automotive, medical, and industrial equipment. The working principle of the 75880-336LF is based on an IDC connection, whereby two wires are inserted into the connector and it grips them to create an electrical connection.
