956238-2720-AR-TP

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 956238-2720-AR-TP is an example of a Rectangular Connector. These types of connectors are designed for fast, reliable connection and disconnection of two pieces of equipment. They come in a wide variety of configurations, such as headers, receptacles, female sockets, etc. Each type offers different advantages for different applications.

The 956238-2720-AR-TP is a header-type rectangular connector that meets industry standards as defined by IEC approved designs. It features a robust design with an outer shell of a durable polycarbonate material. This outer shell creates a secure connection and ensures a safe transition for the wires, sockets, and other components. The robust construction ensures greater reliability and longer life, even in harsh environmental conditions.

The 956238-2720-AR-TP uses an "Easy-Lock" mechanical key system to ensure easy and secure connections between two pieces of equipment. This ensures a safe, positive connection that is also reliable and long-lasting. The Easy-Lock feature also helps reduce cable dressing time and clutter, and requires no special tools or components for installation.

In terms of the connection interface, the 956238-2720-AR-TP uses a 0.200 inch (5.08 mm) pitch series with 32-pin connectors with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch spacing. This ensures an accurate connection between the two pieces of equipment, as well as a more secure connection for the cables and straps that are needed for routing. The 0.200 inch (5.08 mm) pitch series also allows for greater flexibility when wiring, as it can be used with different wire diameters and lengths.

The 956238-2720-AR-TP also features a double-ended cable termination system. This ensures that the connector is secure and that a reliable connection is established during each connection. This system also helps reduce crosstalk, ensures a more reliable and secure connection, and helps to increase signal integrity. The double-ended cable termination system also helps to reduce troubleshooting time when dealing with faulty connections.

Additionally, the 956238-2720-AR-TP has an integrated ground solder assist tab that allows for an easy and secure connection between the device and the PCB or ground plane. This ensures that currents are safely and effectively discharged from the device, and also helps improve signal integrity and minimize electromagnetic interference. The solder assist tab also helps when repairing and troubleshooting the device, as it provides an easy way to access the ground connection.

Finally, the 956238-2720-AR-TP uses a Hi-Rel housing that is designed to meet industry standards for shock, vibration, and extreme environmental conditions. This ensures the safety and durability of the connector, and helps to protect it from damage during use in harsh conditions. The Hi-Rel housing also helps to ensure efficient performance and reliability in a wide range of applications.

In conclusion, the 956238-2720-AR-TP is a high-quality rectangular connector that is designed for fast, reliable connection and disconnection of two pieces of equipment. It features a robust construction, an Easy-Lock mechanical key system, a 0.200 inch (5.08 mm) pitch series with 32-pin connectors, a double-ended cable termination system, an integrated ground solder assist tab, and a Hi-Rel housing. These features ensure that the connector is safe, reliable, and suitable for a wide range of applications.
