Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

87173-130 application field and working principle

87173-130 is a rectangular connector product manufactured by Amphenol FCI, a leading producer in the field of connectors and interconnects. It is a header-style connector with female sockets (also known as receptacles) that mates with male pins or blades from a complementary part. The product is designed for low-power signal and power connections in a variety of industrial, communications, and automotive applications.

The 87173-130 consists of two primary components, the receptacle and the header. The receptacle is a 25-pin, 20-pole female socket that is designed to mate with a 20-pole male header. The socket is constructed of high temperature, low friction thermoplastic material to ensure a long and reliable service life. The contacts housed within the socket are designed to provide excellent electrical performance and maximum reliability.

The header is constructed of high-strength thermoplastic material with a protective covering that provides it with excellent dust and moisture resistance. It houses male contacts that are designed to ensure reliable mating with the female receptacle. The header can be equipped with a lanyard that helps secured it in place and is also available in different lengths to suit different application requirements.

The connectors feature an integrated polarization system which ensures that it mates in the correct orientation to the mating header. This system is simple to use, yet very reliable. The connectors also feature a quick-push latching mechanism which ensures that the connections are secure. No special tools are required to mate the connectors which contributes to their ease of use.

87173-130 connectors are designed for low-power applications such as instrumentation, measurement, computers, consumer electronics, automotive, and communications. They have a maximum voltage rating of 150V and a current rating of up to 5A. Due to their high temperature and low friction design they are ideal for applications operated in high vibration and shock environments.

In summary, the 87173-130 is a high-quality, low-power signal and power connector. It is designed with features such as integral polarization, latching mechanism, and high temperature, low friction thermoplastics that make it a reliable, durable and cost-effective product. It is the perfect choice for a variety of industrial, communications and automotive applications.
