CLM-120-02-FM-D-P

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The CLM-120-02-FM-D-P is an electronics interconnect that is a reversible polarized female socket. It is a part of the CLM series of Right Angle PCB Mount headers made by IDEAK, a leading manufacturer of high-grade electronics connectors. This connector is easy to insert into printed circuit boards and is highly reliable in a wide range of applications.

Application field

The CLM-120-02-FM-D-P is well-suited for a variety of applications including data and industrial control systems, traffic control systems, and many other defense and aerospace applications. It is available in various pin sizes ranging from 2 to 17 contacts, and features a contact retention force of 20 N, with a working temperature range between -25ºC and +85ºC. This connector is also resistant to corrosion and offers protection against dust and moisture.

Working principle

The CLM-120-02-FM-D-P has two internal features in its female socket that allow the signal pins to make electrical connections with its mating header to create the contact. The signal pins consist of three different types of contact systems, openings, and conduits. The openings in the female socket will “accept” the contact from the header while the conduits in the female socket create a path for the contact to travel through to make the electrical connection. The openings are also fitted with two layers of optional shields to ensure maximum contact protection while the signal pins are in use.

The CLM-120-02-FM-D-P is also designed with an internal locking system made up of four guide points. Three of these guide points run along the vertical sides to ensure precise alignment between the header and female socket while the fourth guide point runs along the horizontal side to ensure that the female socket is not moved out of place once it is inserted into the header. The combination of these four guide points in the locking system ensures a reliable connection between the header and female socket when in use.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the CLM-120-02-FM-D-P is a highly reliable and durable electronics interconnect designed for a wide range of applications. It is easy to install into printed circuit boards and features contact retention, optional shields for contact protection, and an internal locking system for reliable connections. All of these features combine to make the CLM-120-02-FM-D-P an excellent choice for a range of applications requiring electrical connections.
