89073-1106LF

The 89073-1106LF are specialised connectors that are used in backplanes. Operating at a voltage of 600 volts and a current of 15amp, it has a temperature rating of -55 to +125C and is suitable for up to 10 mating cycles. It has a 12pin, 9 mm DIN configuration and a 6 row, 3 level pitch.

This specialised connector is designed for applications related to telecommunications, automation, defence, medical, and transport. Its connector body and receptacle contact inserts are made with brass that is tin-plated, and the terminals are made from phosphor bronze that is gold-plated. The insulation body is made with high temperature polyester.

Working Principle

The working principle of 89073-1106LF is simple. The contacts are interlocked and guided by a polyester latching mechanism that is self-retaining. It ensures that mating and un-mating cycles are smooth and secure. The insulation body provides sufficient retention force and locking retention to maintain secure contact at its connection. It ensures that the electrical connection is properly maintained and in conducting order.

The 89073-1106LF is designed for applications where high-density solutions are important. It works with a latching or 90 degree rotational system that is secured using an actuating screw. The connectors are also available in different versions to help customers make the right choice depending on their particular requirement.

Advantages

The 89073-1106LF offers a range of advantages. It is able to provide a secure connection and retention for up to 10 mating cycles, making it suitable for applications where repeated connection and disconnection is online. Additionally, the secure retention also helps protect against shocks and vibrations that can disturb the secure connection.

The connector offers excellent performance with low contact resistance. It also has a low signal transmission loss thanks to its gold-plated materials, which can be used for high frequencies up to 500MHz. It also has a reduced terminal resistance, which ensures accurate and reliable signal transfer.

The 89073-1106LF also has a high temperature rating, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments. It also offers various versions, making it suitable for a range of applications and requirements. Lastly, it is easy to install, removing the hassle and time associated with complex wiring procedures.

Disadvantages

The limited number of mating cycles affects its application in high-wear applications. Additionally, the costs associated with gold-plating of the connectors can be quite high, depending on the application of use. The output also depends on the size and configuration, which may not always be suitable for some applications.

Overall, the 89073-1106LF is a specialised connector that has a range of advantages. It is suitable for applications in telecommunications, automation, defence, medical and transport where secure connections and retention are important. The gold-plated materials offer a reliable connection and a low transmission loss, while the polyester latching mechanism helps provide a smooth mating and un-mating cycles. It is however limited to ten interconnection cycles, making it unsuitable for applications with high wear, while the cost associated with the gold-plating is also quite high.
