95293-402-36LF

Overview

95293-402-36LF headers are commonly used rectangular connectors utilized for transferring electrical signals. This particular model is a 2x4 male pin connector made of High Temperature Plastic (HTP) and is made in compliance with the regulations set by the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), which is a set of European directives implemented to minimize the use of hazardous materials in the electronic and electrical equipment industry.

Application Field

The 95293-402-36LF connector is often seen in applications requiring a structured system containing multiple, individually routed conductive lines, such as computers, entertainment systems and semiconductor manufacturing. Its tiny form factor allows it to be used in a range of areas, from automotive to medical application.

In automotive applications, the 95293-402-36LF is most often used in connection with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) systems. OBD is an industry standard allowing mechanics to scan and diagnose car troubles through the use of specialized tools that connect to OBD ports typically found under a car’s dashboard. By connecting into the port, mechanics can access a range of data, from ECU performance and real-time engine data to engine errors.

From a medical application standpoint, the 95293-402-36LF is widely used in connection with endoscopic imaging. It is used in the form of a camera cable that connects an imaging device to a monitor or other recording device.

Working Principle

The working principle behind 95293-402-36LF pug-and-play electrical connections is the implementation of a pin and socket mechanism. This mechanism consists of two parts. The first is an array of pins, which are implemented on the plug side and connected to a structure designed to fit into the socket on the other end. Pins are then connected via a common trace or cable.

On the socket side, contacts are designed for each pin in the plug. Thesocket’s contacts press against corresponding pins of the plug and make electrical connections. The level of contact pressure for each pin is maintained by a spring-like mechanism located in the socket contacts.

The connection is designed to be robust and stay connected even in rugged conditions, ensuring signal stability over a wide range of environmental factors. Additionally, the connection is designed in such a way that it’s not prone to corrosion and wear, ensuring lasting durability.

Conclusion

95293-402-36LF headers are versatile rectangular connectors that are designed with a pin and socket mechanism. This particular model is a 2x4 male pin connector made of High Temperature Plastic (HTP). It is widely used in a range of applications, from automotive and medical to computer and entertainment systems.
