Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins
The 95278-102A08LF is a type of rectangular connector that contains headers and male pins. This type of connector is regularly used in a wide variety of applications including on computer motherboards, modems, sound cards, and many other uses where data transport and/or power transfer is required. Its design is based on a dual-row type of configuration, with a 2mm pitch, and is often referred to as a “mezzanine style” connector.
Application Fields
The 95278-102A08LF connector is most often employed in the computer industry due to its high quality construction and reliable electrical contact. It is used in a range of applications including motherboards, modems, and sound cards, as well as a number of other applications involving the transfer of data or power. The design of the connector allows for easy and reliable connection to compatible devices.
The 95278-102A08LF connector is extremely versatile and can be used in a range of industrial applications too. Its robust design enables it to perform well in harsh conditions such as those found in factory automation equipment, process control systems, and medical equipment. It is also highly resistant to shock, vibration, and corrosion, making it well suited to use in these more demanding environments.
Working Principle
The 95278-102A08LF connector works by way of a simple electrical contact between two metal pins. The pins are held in place with a locking pin mechanism, which allows for secure, tight contact and ensures reliable power transfer. The individual pins are also designed and manufactured for a tight connection to the requisite equipment and are machined to a high tolerance, giving them a long life.
The contact force of the two pins is generated by a contact spring which is manufactured to precise requirements. The spring, combined with the locking pin mechanism, ensures that the metal pins have a secure connection and reliable power transfer. The spring reduces the risk of arcing by ensuring that the optimum amount of contact pressure between the pins is maintained.
The 95278-102A08LF connector is often chosen due to its versatility and reliability; when used in a range of equipment from modems to factory automation systems. Having to cope with extremes of temperature, dust, and vibration, the 95278-102A08LF connector is an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications.
