Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets – are widely used in a variety of applications across different industries as they provide a reliable and cost-effective means for connecting two circuits. The 803-91-020-10-002000 is a widely used variant of the connector type. In this article, we will discuss the application fields and working principles of the 803-91-020-10-002000.

Application Fields

The 803-91-020-10-002000 is used in a variety of application fields, including automated manufacturing and assembly systems, test and measurement equipment, medical devices, telecommunications, navigational equipment, domestic appliances, and more. They offer a cost-effective solution to data and power transmission requirements. Additionally, connectors of this type are also used in a wide range of automotive applications from ABS brakes to engine management systems and from climate control systems to airbag sensors.

Working Principle

The 803-91-020-10-002000 is a type of “card edge” connector. This means that the contacts are arranged in a linear pattern on a 0.100” pitch. The connector has two mating halves, comprising a header and a receptacle. The header is normally attached to the PCB, with the receptacle plugging in to complete the circuit. The contacts are generally made of tin-plated belled copper and are housed in a black UL 94V-0 rated housing. The contacts provide electrical and mechanical stability and are designed for easy insertion and removal.

The 803-91-020-10-002000 features an innovative split beam mating design, which guarantees reliable contact throughout the entire mating life cycle. This design is known as a “polarized positive mating engagement” and ensures that the contacts in the two mating halves of the connector are securely engaged. This prevents any contact degradation resulting from frequent mating and unmating.

Finally, the 803-91-020-10-002000 is designed to resist corrosion and other environmental factors. The gold and nickel plating of the contacts, along with the black UL 94V-0 rated housing, make this connector particularly well suited for harsh environmental conditions.

Conclusion

The 803-91-020-10-002000 is a widely used rectangular connector that is suitable for a variety of applications. Its features, like the split beam mating design, UL 94V-0 rated housing, corrosion resistance, and electrical and mechanical stability, make it a reliable and cost-effective solution for data and power transmission requirements.
