Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 956210-2000-AR-PT from TE Connectivity is a rectangular connector. It is designed primarily for use in the automated prototyping and development industries where rapid prototyping of connection systems is required. It has a high-speed signalling rate and features a robust design.The 956210-2000-AR-PT is a two-part connector system consisting of two identical parts - a header and a receptacle. The connector is composed of an insulated base, two horizontal plastic locking lances and two vertical pin ramp posts. The pins and sockets of the two parts interlock and form a connection. The connection is maintained using two lances which snap into place when correctly mated. The pins and sockets are recessed to prevent any kind of contact interference or accidental unplugging.The header and receptacle interface with a printed circuit board (PCB) via two horizontal and two vertical PC board mounting screws. The screws are soldered to the PCB and the locking lances snap into the mating receptacle once correctly mated. This ensures electrical connection and mechanical stability.The 956210-2000-AR-PT is designed for use in high-speed transmission systems. Its low-profile design allows for easy routing of signal and power cables. The combination of the two-piece design with the pin/socket mating and lance locking, ensures a secure connection which is also resistant to shock and vibration. The connector is also capable of withstanding high temperatures.In conclusion, the 956210-2000-AR-PT is a rectangular connector designed for high density applications in high-speed transmission systems. Its two-piece design, interlocking pins/sockets, and lance locking provide secure connections with mechanical and electrical stability. The low-profile design allows for easy routing of cables and it can withstand high temperatures.
