Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 89891-846HLF is a range of high-performance rectangular connectors that are both reliable and designed to meet the demands of mission critical applications. This range of products offers a variety of designs to meet various application needs. The range is suitable for a variety of markets including aerospace, defense, telecommunications, medical, industrial, automotive and many more.

Application Field

The 89891-846HLF range of connectors are designed to meet the needs of mission-critical applications. This is primarily due to their excellent design and extremely reliable performance. The range is typically used in military and aerospace applications, but is also seen in many other industries including automotive, industrial, medical, telecommunications and more.

Typical applications that the range is used in include avionics, communications, data acquisition, military and satellite systems. Furthermore, they can be specified for a variety of mating fabrics including PCBs, flat cables and other non-circular surfaces.

Working Principle

The 89891-846HLF range of rectangular connectors is designed to provide excellent reliability and performance. The range contains multiple internal contacts that are rated for very high contact force, which provides superior performance when compared to other contact designs. The connectors also contain a mechanical locking feature, which ensures that the two mating connectors remain mated even under strenuous conditions. Finally, the range is RoHS compliant and comes with a variety of options for insulation, termination and other attributes.

The connectors are connected in one of two ways. The first method is called the power lock design. This method involves two identical halves of the connector that are interlocked. The two halves of the connector are dragged together and interlocking features on each half engage to form a strong, secure connection.

The second method is the mating edge design. This design is used in applications where two dissimilar halves of the connector are required. The two halves are pulled together until the mating edges touch and lock together. The edges are then secured by a mechanical latch, which prevents them from opening.

Conclusion

The 89891-846HLF range of connectors is an excellent choice for mission-critical applications. They are extremely reliable and provide superior performance. The range is designed to provide a variety of advantages such as high contact force, mechanical locking and RoHS compliance. The range offers two different mating methods, which are the power lock and the mating edge designs. The range is suitable for a variety of applications including avionics, communications, data acquisition, military and satellite systems.
