87989-5 Application Field and Working Principle

The 87989-5 is a family of high-speed rectangular connectors specifically designed for high-density applications. These connectors are part of a modular system based on specifying and ordering part numbers for plug and receptacle configurations. The 87989-5 connectors are suitable for a wide range of industries, making them a popular choice for a multitude of applications due to their versatility.

Typical applications which use 87989-5 connectors include medical equipment, industrial automation, communication, aerospace, defense, process control, robotic and other applications where higher speed capability is required.

Working Principle

The 87989-5 rectangular connector family is suitable for board-to-board, cable-to-board and cable-to-cable connections. These connectors feature a double row of contact probes arranged in a grid. The contacts are arranged in rows and columns so that mating and unmating are performed with minimal disruption.

The probes are held in place by a spring-loaded mechanism. When the mating connectors are pressed together, the probes slide into one another, making a highly reliable electrical connection. While the probes are held in place by the spring-loaded mechanism, a unique latching mechanism ensures that the mating connectors remain connected.

The 87989-5 rectangular connectors incorporate advanced contact technology to enable a reliable connection at high speed. As the connectors are compliant pin-to-shell, the contacts are secured by tension force generated by the movement of the shells. This ensures that the contacts are securely held in position.

The 87989-5 connectors provide excellent EMI and RFI protection, making them suitable for electronic applications that require secure data transfer. They also feature a floating retention feature that ensures reliable contact and helps prevent accidental disconnection.

Durability

The 87989-5 rectangular connectors are highly reliable and durable. They are designed with precision and quality materials to provide superior performance in harsh environments. They have superior resistance to shock, vibration and temperature extremes, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The connectors also have a high ingress protection rating of IP 12-4.

The 87989-5 rectangular connector family is designed to provide reliable performance and long service life. The contact system ensures high contact force and low insertion force, providing a secure connection with minimal disruption. The connectors also feature a robust latching mechanism for secure mating and ensure long-term reliability.

Conclusion

The 87989-5 rectangular connector family is a versatile solution for high-density, high-speed applications. They feature advanced contact technology and robust latching mechanisms for reliable performance in harsh environments. The connectors also offer superior shock, vibration and temperature resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
