DMC-M 08-16 SD

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets, are connector types used in electronic applications. They are typically encountered in high volume and high speed applications. As such they can be used in an extremely wide variety of application fields.

The DMC-M 08-16 SD is a type of rectangular connector in which contact is made between the receptacle and its mating header. The mating receptacle and header fit into two grooved sections termed as the contact and the mating reference points, respectively. A combination of three components, namely, two metal shells and a dielectric shield, form the body of the connector. The contactor holds the individual contacts in the middle.

The DMC-M 08-16 SD has a number of advantages to it. It offers standardized system-wide connector assemblies which are capable of replacing multiple wire-to-board connectors. It also provides superb EMI shielding and impeccable electrical performance. The metal shells provide excellent environmental protection and are highly durable and reliable. As such, the DMC-M 08-16 SD is ideal for high-frequency and high-speed application fields, such as medical devices, communication devices, consumer electronics, transportation systems, and commercial programmable logic.

The principle of operation of the DMC-M 08-16 SD is quite simple. The two metal shells form the body of the connector, which is then filled with the dielectric shield. This shield has the ability to reduce crosstalk and resist vibrations. The contactor then holds the individual contacts in the middle. As the mating header is inserted, each of the contacts is pushed into the contactor. The resulting pressure creates the electrical connection between the contacts of the header and the receptacle.

When the mated connector is engaged, a process of wiping contact takes place. This enables corrosion resistance and reliable contact, as there is mechanical cleaning of the contact surfaces. The wiping contact process also reduces/eliminates the need for separate contact cleaning after mating. The electrical contacts are also compliant with most international standards, giving extended mating cycles and usage temperature ranges.

In applications where EMI is of utmost importance, DMC-M 08-16 SD is the ideal solution. Its dielectric shield is molded into the connector and offers ultra-efficient EMI shielding, with less crosstalk and excellent signal integrity. The metal shells provide extra protection to the connector from any environmental forces or hazards.

Overall, the DMC-M 08-16 SD is a robust and reliable rectangular connector with superior electrical and environmental properties. Its customizable design offers various configurations to suit different application requirements. It is a cost-effective option for high-frequency and high-speed applications. It also makes for excellent EMI shielding and provides impeccable electrical performance.
