Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are connectivity components used in a variety of electronic equipment, boxes and panels. 78511-102HLF is a popular type of MicroCross paired connectors for 18/20/22AWG count wire-to-board applications.

These connectors are beneficial for their high quality and reliability in applications, characterized by low insertion force, low voltage ratings (up to 50V), and high temperatures up to 125˚C, while requiring very low PCB space.

California Micro Devices 78511-102HLF connectors represent a micro pitch connector system for high reliability and board-to-board applications in narrow space. They are compact, further reducing PCB area consumption, and greatly simplifying the routing of the wiring harnesses.

These are the components used in power supplies, medical equipment, telecommunication installations and other systems where high screen grades are required. The pair of connectors (male-female) can be easily mated and peak current carrying capacity is up to 5A for power ground and can easily be used by the DIY electronics hobbyist.

The working principle of the 78511-102HLF follows the basics of its type; it features a rectangular connector that has a group of male pins that are surrounded by an insulated plastic cover. The insulated cover has four contact elements which are connected to four corresponding female pins. The female pin contacts are positioned parallel to each other, and are securely held in place by a copper-alloy plate.

The male pins of the 78511-102HLF are used for electrical connection between two devices. The pins are made of gold-plated nickel which provides good electrical contact and high-temperature durability. The plastic cover of the 78511-102HLF connector contains an additional layer of insulation to protect the connected components from static electricity.

The male pins have a single piece body that has the same size and cross-sectional shape as the female pins, and they are held together by a mechanical force. It means the pins are secured in place and they cannot move during normal use. The connectors also provide shock protection against moving components within the device.

The 78511-102HF is a right angle connector designed for both power and ground connections. It is ideal for applications where space is limited, and it ensures that reliable and secure connections are maintained between connected components. The pins also provide a secure connection with minimal insertion force, making them easier to install.

The 78511-102HF is also designed to provide protection from EMI and RFI interference. The gold-plated nickel pins are designed to ensure high shielding effectiveness when connected to an EMI shield, which is important in high-frequency applications. Furthermore, the contacts are reinforced in order to provide additional protection against pressure or torsional forces.

In conclusion, the California Micro Devices 78511-102HLF is a reliable and compact rectangular connector that can be used in a variety of applications. Its low insertion force and high temperature ratings make it suitable for industrial and commercial uses. Its unique design combines high performance and strong reliability in a highly cost effective package, and it is an ideal choice for many applications.
