77311-824-17LF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins play an important part in providing mechanical and electrical connections between components on a board. The 77311-824-17LF is widely used for this purpose due to its small form factor and standard pin-out configuration.

The 77311-824-17LF is a type of rectangular connector and header variants where the male pins have a profile that is smaller than a traditional cylindrical pin of the same size. It is also referred to as a ‘filler pin’ type of header. These headers differ from the more conventional headers as they possess pins that are smaller in diameter and length which allows for more number of pins within the same form factor. This enables greater availability of contact points for some applications where there is limited space.

In terms of application fields, these headers can be used in many different scenarios where a user requires more electrical contacts in a given area. An example of this would be in telecommunications and data networks, where a large number of data points need to be connected seamlessly. Headers like the 77311-824-17LF allow for maximum space efficiency when connecting a large number of cables bringing in data from a variety of sources.

In addition, it is also used in commercial applications such as medical imaging systems and industrial wiring apparatuses. Here, the headers are used for the exchange of power as well as data. Other applications include computers, audio/video equipment, automotive, consumer electronics, amongst many others.

The working principle of the 77311-824-17LF is fairly simple. It is a two-piece connector made up of a connector body and a header assembly made from a wire or cable. The connector body houses the male pins and acts as a conduit for the electrical connection between pins. The header assembly has two separate sections, one section connecting the signals and the other providing the mechanical connection. The header is then connected to the connector body through a series of screws or rivets.

The pins are arranged in an array in the connector body, and are arranged in such a way that when a wire is inserted into one of the pins, the signal is transferred from one pin to the next. As the pins are very small, this allows for high density data transfer which is required in today’s high speed electronics. The electrical contact between the pins is maintained through the use of a high quality insulator material or a conductive elastomer.

In summary, the 77311-824-17LF is a type of rectangular connector and header variants with small pins and it is widely used for its small form factor and standard pin-out configuration. It is predominantly used in telecommunications and data networks, medical imaging systems, industrial wiring apparatuses, computers, audio/video equipment, and consumer electronics. The working principle of the 77311-824-17LF is fairly simple, with the connector body housing the male pins, and the header supplying the mechanical and electrical connection between them.
