95234-301LF

The 95234-301LF is a type of rectangular connector, consisting of headers, receptacles, and female sockets. As a versatile and commonly used type of connector, its application fields and working principle are worth understanding.

A 95234-301LF rectangular connector is generally composed of a plastic housing, a socket contact and a mating pin header. Such connector has three popular layouts that meet different application requirements. Among these layouts, the common “straight” layout provides good electrical contact and easy PCB mounting. The “right-angled” layout facilitates limited space applications as it allows for efficient use of PCB mouting area, while the “side-entry” layout is designed for assembly and maintenance without damage to the circuit board.

In terms of application fields, the 95234-301LF can be used in a variety of electronic devices for providing convenient and reliable connection of electric components. Typical uses can be found in disk drives, medical care equipment, communications and stereo devices, game console, and micro-multimedia computer.

Basic Working Principle

The 95234-301LF rectangular connector is designed with friction lock latch which provides reliable and lasting performance. As shown in the figure below, when the mating of the socket contact and the mating pin header is completed, the latch is simply pressed downwards to secure the connection. Once the latch is engaged, its teeth will catch the mating pin header, preventing it from being suddenly pulled out and hence providing excellent vibration-proof connection.

Besides a dependable connection, such connector also provides good mechanical isolation and prevents short circuits. As the socket contact and mating pin header of a 95234-301LF connector are made of premium materials, such as gold-plated copper alloy, which shows good electrical conductivity and insulation performance.

What is more, its low profile design can resist dirt and dust, thus enables it to be used in damp environment. The scraping design in its front surface, compatible with fluxes, ensures efficient wave soldering process thus allowing for a good welding in mass production.

To sum up, 95234-301LF is a type of rectangular connector, which provides good electrical contact, reliable connection and consistent performance. Through its smart and compact design, it can be used in many electronic devices as a reliable and durable connector.
