87988-3

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets, have been in wide use us due to their capability of providing reliable high-density mechanical connections with adequate electrical performance. 87988-3 is a type of rectangular connectors which provides excellent connection reliability for high-speed data, power, and signal applications like embedded, computer, video/audio, telecom and automotive. The 87988-3 is normally used for cable-to-board, PC board-to-PC board, and cable-to-cable applications.

The 87988-3 rectangular connector consists of a die cast/molded metal shell, a terminal holder, metal terminal, ground terminal, and insulators. The terminal holder holds the gold-plated terminals and the insulator is made of reinforced resin. On the rear side of the connector, a strain relief is provided which helps to provide flexibility and vibration resistance in the electrical connections. There is also a latch available to hold the connector in the correct position during its installation. This latch is located in the center of the connector.

The 87988-3 application field consists of data, power, and signal communication such as embedded, computer, video/audio, telecom and automotive. These connectors are often used for high-speed data transmission, power transmission and signal control control purposes. These connectors can support both signal and power transmission and can be used in applications from mid-long range to short range distances.

The working principle of 87988-3 rectangular connectors is based on conduction of electric current. The contact between the pins and terminals is established when the two interface pieces of the connector come into contact. This contact establishes the connection between the electrical circuits which then allows for the transfer of current. It is important to note that most 87988-3 connectors are cable mounted and the contact between the mating pins and terminals is maintained by the electrical conductivity of the cable. The cable used in these connectors usually consists of copper plated aluminum contacts.

The 87988-3 rectangular connectors provide excellent connection reliability due to their high quality material construction. The pins and terminals used in these connectors are made from gold-plated copper and the contacts are enclosed in high temperature rated insulators. This helps to ensure that data, power, and signal transmission reliability is maintained over extended periods. Additionally, the mated parts are held in the correct position and strain relief provided on the rear side of the connector ensures flexibility and vibration resistance in the electrical connections.

The 87988-3 rectangular connectors provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for high-speed data, power, and signal applications. These connectors are capable of providing excellent connection reliability with a durable and high temperature rated design. The mated parts are held in the correct position and all pins and terminals in the connector are enclosed in highly temperature rated insulators. In addition to this, the strain relief provided on the rear side of the connectors helps to ensure flexibility and vibration resistance in the electrical connections.
