961104-5500-AR-TP

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are widely used in data, signal and power applications. As one type of rectangular connectors, 961104-5500-AR-TP has lots of advantages and features which make it a great preferred power connection solution. So, it is necessary to know the application fields and working principles of this type of product.

Application Fields

961104-5500-AR-TP is one standard 5.00mm flat ribbon cable connector widely used in current PCB designs. It can be provided with a metal contact shape design which makes it well compatible to any pin-in-hole structure, and widely used in various sizes of ribbon cables, including capacitance modulated planar, flexible interconnect technology and impedance control ribbons. It\'s also suitable for smartphone, tablet and other miniature electronic devices which need basic power supply connection. Furthermore, this type of connectors can handle both power and signal lines and also operate with voltage within 3~ 20 VDC range.

Working Principles

961104-5500-AR-TP is a cylinder shape rectangular connector with two symmetrical parts. The male part is a threaded connector, which incorporates a smooth cylindrical pin to ensure an easy and secure connection with the female part. The male part can be seen as a bent pin if both sides were not connected. On the other hand, the female part is a receptacle with two wings, which are both designed to have the same size and shape.

The two parts will be snapped together and be locked with the help of small metal spring clips located on the male part of the connector. The two spring clips will provide the catching effect when the male and female parts get connected. When the male part is twisted, the spring clips will be forced to gain a firm grip on the female part and form an end-to-end connection.

The connection between the two parts is temperature-insensitive. This is because the two spring clips are located in the middle part of the connector which forms a gap between the two parts. This gap will separate the two parts thus it will guarantee the thermal insulation between them no matter how high the temperature is.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 961104-5500-AR-TP is a versatile and reliable power connector used for a variety of application fields including phone, tablet, and other miniature electronic devices. It has a unique symmetrical design, which allows for easy and secure connection between two points. Moreover, the gap between two connectors provides thermal insulation and robust temperature-insensitive connection.
