87180-466LF

Modular connectors are often found in a variety of electronic equipment used for a wide range of applications, and the 87180-466LF jack is no exception. This type of connector is a three-conductor, 8-position modular jack, with a low level, surface mount configuration. It is primarily used in applications where space is limited, such as in mobile phones, digital cameras, and other handheld devices.

The design of the 87180-466LF is such that it allows a maximum of three pair of conductors to be connected to a single jack. Each contact has a low profile, flush-mount design, which reduces the overall profile of the jack, and allows it to fit in tight spaces with ease. The contacts are also recessed in the jack, allowing the mating plug to snap into place firmly. Additionally, the jack\'s contacts are constructed from 80-20 brass, which ensures superior electrical conductivity and durability.

As far as the working principle of the 87180-466LF jack is concerned, it is based on the principles of electrical resistance and capacitance. When a mating plug is inserted into the jack, the contacts make an electrical connection. This connection causes a slightly higher voltage to be transferred between the plug and the jack, which then causes a conduction of electricity through the connections. This conduction of electricity is then used to create an electrical resistance between the plug and the jack, which in turn regulates the voltage levels.

In addition to its utility as a connector, the 87180-466LF also offers several other features which make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It has an insulation resistance of 500 MΩ@500 VDC, while its contact resistance is just 10 mΩ initial, which ensures that the connection is always stable and reliable. Additionally, the jack is also highly resistant to the effects of vibration, temperature, humidity and corrosion, so it can be used in a wide variety of environments. The jack also offers a snap-in mounting system, which ensures that the connection is secure and durable.

Overall, the 87180-466LF modular jack is an excellent choice for various applications, particularly where space is limited. Its low profile, flush-mount design, as well as its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. Its working principle is based on the principles of electrical resistance and capacitance, which allow it to provide a reliable and stable connection between two components. As a result, this type of connector is becoming increasingly popular in the world of electronics.
