91601-311LF

Rectangular Connectors are an important part of many electronic systems. They are used to transfer signal, power, or data between two or more interfacing circuits. From IC sockets and headers to board-level to board-level products, the sheer selection of types and sizes of connectors can be overwhelming. One such example is the 91601-311LF header connector, a dependable and robust rectangular connector that can be used on a variety of applications.

Product Overview

The 91601-311LF is a three row low profile (4mm x 8mm) Through-Hole counter-sunk mount, right angle header connector that features a 30μm gold Flash plating over a 50μm nickel layer. This provides excellent solderability and corrosion resistance. It is rated at 3A/contact, up to 80Vdc and 75Vac, making it an excellent choice for many moderate power applications. The 91601-311LF also employs AMP’s dual beam contact that combines the benefits of pre-loaded contacts with low profile design. It also has an integrated circuit without polarizing keys, as well as an operating temperature range of -40℃ to +105℃, making it suitable for automotive and other environments that require high reliability and performance.

The front side of the header has projecting pins for making connections, while the back side has insulated solder tails. The pins are designed for soldered insertion into board-level through-holes, allowing for secure and reliable connections. This connector is also compatible with many types of wires, such as solid and stranded wire.

Application

The 91601-311LF is primarily used in automotive and other harsh environments. It is well suited for low power applications that require reliable, efficient and secure connections. It is ideal for use in power trains, lighting systems, and control and door locks. It also finds use in medical equipment, building automation systems, and portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and laptop computers.

This connector can also be used in a wide range of consumer goods, such as televisions, audio equipment, radios, cameras, and consumer electronics. The 91601-311LF is used to provide reliable connections between PCBs and other components in these types of equipment, such as display modules and RF modules. The connector also finds use in industrial applications, including machine controls, test equipment, and instrumentation.

Working Principle

The 91601-311LF is a right angle header connector designed with dual beam contact technology. This technology combines pre-loaded contacts with a low profile design in order to provide reliable and secure connections. The pins on the front of the header are designed for soldered insertion into board-level through-holes, and the insulated solder tails on the back provide a strong connection and a reliable electrical contact.

The dual beams of the pin contact on the connector provide improved contact retention between the pin and the hole. The pin contact also has an anti-corrosive coating to provide improved protection against corrosion and oxidation, as well as a ramped insert to ensure the pin contacts are fully engaged and inserted into the through-hole. This provides an exceptionally reliable and secure connection.

The 91601-311LF has proven to be a reliable and robust connector for a variety of applications. It offers a secure, efficient connection that is suitable for many moderate power applications. Its dual beam contact technology and adjustable leads ensure that it provides secure and reliable connections, making it a versatile, dependable connector.
