78511-208H

Rectangular connectors are a type of packaging used for connections in the electronics industry. They are commonly used in many electronic components such as assemblies, harnesses, switches, relays, etc. They offer advantages such as better connection quality, better mechanical strength and improved space saving.

The 78511-208H is a type of rectangular connector which is specifically designed for tight spaces like microprocessor cabinets, electronic circuits and other applications where space is a critical concern. It is a multi-pin connector composed of a standard header form factor that is composed of a male pin header and female socket.

The unique feature of this connector is that it supports up to eight of the tiny 0.5 mm pitch terminals that are commonly used in the miniaturized products. The 78511-208H is designed to provide an efficient connection on boards with limited power or with limited access to the power connections. It is also suitable for use in harsh environment due to its robust design and features such as contact-to-contact locking and gold plating on the contact surface for increased wear resistance.

The connector derives its name from its Applications field-the 78511-208H is manufactured primarily for use in the automotive industry for cost-saving solutions to reduce the wiring complexity. It is technologically advanced in the market, allowing the user to achieve a soldering-less connection and a reliable high-speed connection.

The 78511-208H is equipped with a unique locking-type connection that effectively reduces the stress applied to the connected terminals, which results in a more reliable connection. Moreover, it is IP67 rated which means it can be used in a wide variety of environmental conditions, such as in dust and water, without any risk of failure. The 78511-208H is also designed to reduce the risk of twisting wires from external forces, allowing for an improved seal and maximum contact reliability.

The working principle of the 78511-208H is simple. After the connector is fully assembled, the connector is inserted into the PCB via the appropriate female socket. The pins located at the male header end of the connector will contact the PCB\'s copper pads, thereby ensuring the connection is established. The pins are then secured with the locking arms of the connector, ensuring the connection is stable. This type of connector is usually applied in patches of 8-pins, but can be extended to larger configurations if needed.

The 78511-208H offers many advantages for users, including increased cost savings via a soldering-less connection, reliable high-speed connection and improved signal transmission. It is truly a reliable and cost effective solution for a range of applications, such as automotive and industrial electronics.
