BCS-124-L-S-PE-023

The BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 is a type of rectangular connector, typically referred to as “headers, receptacles, and female sockets”. As its name implies, a header is a unit containing array of pins which might or might not have their own latching and/or tactile devices. Typically, this type of connector is one of the smallest available, making them suitable for connections with very small machined components, where space must be limited.

The working principle of the BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 is very simple. Each of the male and female contact points are held in place by means of pins in the rear, which in turn extend through the connector body. When the two halves of the connector are united, electrical contact between the pins in the rear and the contact points can be made. In order for a reliable electrical connection to be maintained, the pins must remain firmly in contact with the contact points in the female connector. This can be achieved by either crimping the outer pins in place or by the use of a locking mechanism.

The BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 connector is most commonly used in automotive and industrial applications, where its small size makes it ideal for applications in tight spaces. It is also commonly used in the design and manufacture of printed circuit boards, as the small size allows for connections to made without occupying too much board real estate. Additionally, due to the tight connection between the pins and the contact points, the BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 has excellent electrical performance and is very reliable for high-frequency applications.

In terms of construction, the BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 is usually constructed from either plastic or a metal-encased plastic. The metal-encased variants are more robust and are often designed for use in highly demanding applications such as those relating to the aerospace industry. On the other hand, the plastic variants are usually found in less demanding consumer applications. The pins of the BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 are also often manufactured from either brass or steel, and they have features such as spacing, grooves, or bent-pins which help maintain contact with the female contact points.

Finally, the BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 can be manufactured with either male or female contact points. Male contact points are typically easier to assemble and require fewer components when placed in circuit boards. Female contact points offer greater contact area, which can make them useful for applications involving higher power components or sensitive circuits. Regardless of type, contact points are usually gold-plated for corrosion resistance.

In conclusion, the BCS-124-L-S-PE-023 is a type of miniature rectangular connector and is used in a wide range of applications, from automotive and industrial to consumer products. Due to its small size, it is a great choice when space must be conserved, and its gold-plated contact points offer excellent electrical performance and reliability for high-frequency applications.
