BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR

Introduction

BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR is one of the many rectangular connector systems available in the field of electronics. Both through-hole and SMD (Surface Mount Device) variants are available, and they offer a variety of advantages. Not only are these connectors small, practical, and easily installed, but are much more reliable than their older counterparts. This article will explain the different types of BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR connectors, as well as their various applications and working principles.

Connector Types

In terms of physical appearance, BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR connectors consist of two terminal cavities with two indentations in the center. The terminals are connected with two pieces of PVC plastic (for insulation) and two pieces of copper (for conduction). Headers are used to connect two devices, while a female socket is typically used for plugging in cables. The female sockets have one to three positions for additional contact points.

The headers and female sockets used in these connectors can be divided into two types: standard and low-profile. Standard headers have vertical and horizontal legs, while low profile headers use only one leg. Standard sockets have an indent in the middle, while low profile sockets are designed to fit into shallow housings that don’t have an indent in the center.

Application

Most commonly, BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR connectors are used in a variety of electronic devices, such as computers, automobiles, and home appliances. For example, they can be used to connect an IDE hard drive to a motherboard or to connect a laptop to a monitor. Additionally, they are frequently used to interconnect various cables or for power and signal transmission. They are also used in automotive systems, such as in ECU control units and audio systems. They are also used to provide reliable power and signal connection for both AC and DC devices.

Working Principle

The working principle behind BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR connectors is based on the principle of pressure contact. This means that the contact points on the terminals are compressed against the contact surface of the board. Due to the compressive force, the contact points become highly conductive and form an electrically secure connection. This connection is much more reliable than traditional through-hole or wire-wrap connections, which can often be unreliable.

Conclusion

BKS-123-01-L-V-P-TR connectors are an extremely reliable and versatile type of rectangular connector system. They are suitable for many applications, and offer the advantage of being much more reliable than their predecessors. Additionally, they come in both standard and low-profile variants, which allows for the perfect fit depending on the specific application.
