Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 89882-342LF is a type of rectangular connectors that perform the function of connecting or routing electrical signals and power between two or more devices. This specific series of90-degree solder-style headers has been designed with built-in strain relief to reduce the effects of stress on the device and the connection.

Application

89882-342LF is a common type of header connector widely used in the design and manufacture of various products including computers, laptops, mobile phones, gaming consoles, and other electronic devices, as well as some industrial and automotive applications. This series connectors are also applicable in the production of consumer electronics, including audio/video products, as well as medical electronics, telecommunications equipment, and consumer appliances. With features such as wide contact mating area and rugged construction, these connectors are designed for use in high-density applications.

Working Principle

89882-342LF is an integrated header that works by providing a mechanical and electrical connection between a printed circuit board (PCB) and a mating module. The connector consists of two sections, an upper header section and a lower receptacle section. The upper header section includes a number of contacts that are pre-loaded into the header and soldered to the printed board. This contact arrangement has systematically arranged positions for each contact. The lower receptacle section includes a plastic housing which houses a number of standard box-style contacts. These contacts provide a mechanical connection between the PCB and mating module. The contacts are made of brass or copper and plated with a gold or silver finish, depending on the needs of the application.

To ensure system reliability and long-term durability, 89882-342LF connectors utilize metal components and O-rings to create a highly reliable mechanical connection between the contacts and the mating module. This provides a secure and stable connection for the signal transmission between the two devices, while an additional cable strain relief helps secure the cable to the connector for further reliability.

Conclusion

89882-342LF rectangular connectors are designed to provide a quick and reliable connection between two or more devices. It is compatible with a range of applications, from consumer electronics to high-density applications. With features like wide contact mating area and robust construction, these connectors can be used to ensure secure and reliable operation in any system.
