Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets, are a type of electrical connector used for joining electrical circuits together. They are often used to bridge small spacing between two surfaces and allow components within a circuit to be easily attached and/or removed.

861-83-032-40-001101 is a particular type of rectangular connector and is a great example of the vast array of connectors that can be used for a variety of different applications. This particular connector can be used in a range of applications due to its small size, secure connections, and reliability.

Application Field

861-83-032-40-001101 is designed for low-density connection to a printed circuit board and is suitable for automotive, consumer and telecoms applications. It is also compatible with a variety of cable types, including flexible cables, ribbon cables and discrete wires. Its small size makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited, such as in cell phones or other handheld devices.

Working Principle

The 861-83-032-40-001101 connector features a two-part mating design, comprising of a flat, rectangular plug with two symmetrically arranged rows of short contact blades and a flat, rectangular socket with two horizontally arranged rows of contact blades which mate with the plug. The socket features a retention clip on the underside which holds the plug securely in position. The electrical contact is achieved through metal brushes which make contact with the contact blades on each side of the connection.

The connector also features a selector pin which allows the user to select the desired connection type, such as a series or parallel connection. The connector is designed to be highly reliable and provide secure connections between two circuits, even when subjected to shock or vibration.

In addition, the connector also features a built-in positive locking mechanism, which ensures that the connector remains securely in position even under high vibration or shock. This feature also ensures that the contacts on the connectors remain firmly in contact at all times, even when disconnected.

Conclusion

The 861-83-032-40-001101 connectors are a great choice for a wide range of applications, as they offer reliable and secure connections while also being highly resilient to shock and vibration. The small size of the connector and its ability to be used with a variety of cable types makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited, such as in handheld devices, or for general purpose connections.
