801-87-003-40-002101

The 801-87-003-40-002101 is a rectangular connector, part of a family of headers, receptacles, and female sockets that have a wide range of applications. Typically, this type of connector is used in industrial and automotive applications, but it can be found wherever an easy way to make a reliable connection between two parts is needed. The 801-87-003-40-002101 is a female socket, which means it has pins on the outside of the rectangular body allowing it to be connected to a mating male plug. It is a multi-pin connector with 18 pins, and it can be mounted on a printed circuit board, panel, or cable. It is designed to accept plug-in type wires and/or terminal blocks, making it highly versatile. The 801-87-003-40-002101 is a sub-miniature sized connector, with a size as small as 3.6mm x 7.2mm. It features metal shell and gold-plated contacts, making it highly resistant to corrosion and wear. The shell also has a locking latch that prevents it from separating and disconnecting from its mating connector. The working principle of the 801-87-003-40-002101 is as simple as it is effective. When the male plug is inserted it engages the female socket’s contacts and completes the electrical connection. When the male plug is removed, the locking latch on the shell of the connector ensures that the plug cannot be removed until manually released. This prevents accidental disconnection and damage to the components that it is connecting.As with all connectors, the 801-87-003-40-002101 is designed to make it easy to connect and disconnect two devices with minimal effort and risk of damage. With its small size, gold-plated contacts, and locking latch, it is a reliable and efficient form of connection. Its wide range of applications make it ideal for a variety of projects and devices.
