77311-118-32LF Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors - headers, Male pins provide an interface between two lines, allowing electrical signals or wires to be interconnected and insulated. This type of connector is usually applied to medical and test equipment, telecommunications, compact power supplies, automotive, video equipment, PC’s and motherboards, consumer electronics, and audiovisual applications. 77311-118-32LF is a low-profile, environmentally sealed rectangular connector for use as headers, whose main characteristic is that its contacts are sealed or hermetically at both ends and it also features a built-in filter.

Application Field

Low-profile, hermetically sealed rectangular connectors, like 7731-118-32LF, are designed with enhanced durability, reliability, and performance characteristics. They are generally used in a wide range of medical and test equipments, telecommunications, compact power supplies, automotive, video equipments, and PC’s and motherboards, consumer electronics, and audiovisual applications. 77311-118-32LF mounting style headers provide an effective industrial solution with less space than classic headers. Its design makes them suitable for densely packed boards and other harsh environments.

Working Principle

The working principle for low-profile, hermetically sealed connectors, such as 77311-118-32LF, is relatively simple. There is a contact between the electrical signal or wire and the contact receptacle where the connector will be mounted. The contact receptacle is an integral part of the connector that is designed to accept a specific type of signal, such as digital, analog, or audio. The contact receptacle is also designed to accept a specific size and shape of a wire in order to ensure the best performance, reliability, and durability. The contacts are then hermetically sealed by the panel which prevents any external pollutants from entering the connector.

The sealing process is usually achieved through a locking process. This process is accomplished with a locking ring which is operated manually. When the ring is turned, it compresses the panel and the contacts, creating a secure fit and hermetic seal. The hermetic seal ensures that no pollutants are able to enter the connector and the contacts ensure that the signal is not interrupted or altered.

77311-118-32LF is designed to maintain high performance and durability against shock, vibration, and harsh environmental conditions. The sealing ring also increases the reliability of the circuit integrity. The characteristics of the 77311-118-32LF are such that it provides excellent performance even in high temperature/vibration environments.

In conclusion, 77311-118-32LF is a state-of-the-art rectangular connector that is suitable for use in applications that require high performance and longevity. Its sealing ring ensures that the connector remains hermetically sealed and its contacts ensure that the electrical signal is not altered or interrupted. 77311-118-32LF is ideal for medical and test equipment, telecommunications, compact power supplies, automotive, video equipment, PC’s and motherboards, consumer electronics, and audiovisual applications.
