Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 851-87-020-40-001101 is a type of rectangular connector used for making electrical connections between electronic components or wires. It is one part of the larger class of rectangular connectors, including headers, receptacles, female sockets, and more. This particular connector is a header-type connector, which means it includes pin-type contacts on one side that are used to connect to a printed circuit board (PCB). Header connectors generally have much fewer pins than receptacles, and are used to make direct connections between electronic components, whereas receptacles are used to accept the connector pins of various types.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 851-87-020-40-001101 is used in a wide variety of applications, including consumer electronics, communication equipment, industrial equipment, and automotive electronics. It is most commonly used in low-to-medium-speed data transmission applications. Some of its key features include a fast and reliable connection, rugged construction, and excellent EMI and RFI shielding.

This connector works by having a pin or socket-type contact in one side with a contact receptacle in the other side. When the two sides are mated, they create an electrical connection between the two components. This connection is made by virtue of a spring loaded contact design, which ensures an optimal level of contact between the two sides. Furthermore, the contacts of the 851-87-020-40-001101 header have a low self-inductance and high contact current carrying capacity, making them suitable for high-speed applications.

The 851-87-020-40-001101 is a reliable and robust connector that can be used in a variety of applications. It is a well-suited solution for data transmission in low-to-medium-speed applications, and is an ideal choice for consumer electronics, communication equipment, industrial equipment, and automotive electronics.
