76308-917LF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 76308-917LF is a type of female socket, which belongs to the rectangular connectors category. It is specifically designed to be used in the field of dockets. Commonly known as header, receptacles, and female sockets, rectangular connectors like the 76308-917LF are used for general-purpose applications involving low frequency signals.

The 76308-917LF is a surface mount female socket with high-performance features. It is made of UL 94V-0 material, which is approved by the US safety standards. The socket is designed to be used with an 8-pin or a 20-pin Header. It features three sizes of mounting posts, namely, 91.44mm, 118.11mm, and 140.97mm. Besides, the female socket comes with a gold plated shielding.

Working Principle of 76308-917LF

The 76308-917LF female socket operates in a polarity-free operation, which means it does not matter which pin is connected to the ground. It works by providing a secure connection between two electrical components or two different pieces of equipment. The socket has a built-in set of contacts that securely locks the components together. The contacts also provide insulation to prevent interference and crosstalk between the components connected.

To operate the 76308-917LF female socket, it is required to line up the header correctly and then plug it into the socket. The header is then secured using a set of mounting screws. Once the connections are secured and the mating components are in place, power can be turned on to enable or activate the devices or electrical components connected through the socket. To disconnect the header from the socket, the mounting screws should be unscrewed and the plug should be withdrawn.

Applications of the 76308-917LF Female Socket

The 76308-917LF female socket is primarily used for general-purpose low frequency applications such as logic, power-switching, transistors, and analog signal control. It is widely used in the robotics industry for connecting the motor drive board to the motors. The socket can also be used for joining different cables, connectors, and wires in the lighting industry.

Moreover, the socket can be used in medical equipment and devices. It is specifically designed for diagnostic, patient monitoring, and life-support systems. The reliability and flexibility of the 76308-917LF makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, such as in the automotive, aerospace, and military industries as well.

Conclusion

All in all, the 76308-917LF female socket is a versatile and reliable connector for a wide range of applications. It is known for its superior performance, reliability, and flexibility. This socket is suitable for low frequency applications, robotics, lighting, medical equipment, automotive, aerospace, and military applications. Thanks to its gold plated shielding, the 76308-917LF can provide protection from interference and crosstalk.
