ELFH20180

Terminal Blocks - Headers, Plugs and Sockets: ELFH20180 application field and working principle

ELFH20180 is a series of M5 headers, plugs and sockets manufactured by HIROSE. It is mainly used for the high-end market sector and commercial industry in order to ensure effective signal transfer and reliable contact in space-limited applications. This range is available in up to six different sizes which allows for easy customisation to a panel or board mounting system.

Application Fields

ELFH20180 is ideal for circuits where signal transmission occurs, such as automotive, domestic appliances, audio and visual equipment, electronic instruments and other communications. It is also well-suited for battery packs, UPS systems, backup systems, industrial machinery, complex motor control systems, and renewable energy systems.

Working Principle

The ELFH20180 connectors use a low-voltage push-in connection pair. This is an efficient method that creates an electrical connection with the wire crimping onto the connection spring inside the connector. The connectors have a unique locking mechanism that utilizes a dual locking arm to securely lock the plug onto the header. This secure lock ensures reliable and effective signal transfer and contact between the two components. It also prevents accidental disconnection of the wiring from the terminal blocks.

The ELFH20180 series headers, plugs and sockets are rated up to the international standard UL1977 and 70µm wire gauge. The connectors also use a wire diameter range of AWG#18-8 (1.25-4mm2) for a secure connection. The headers, plugs and sockets are designed to work in a wide temperature range between -55°C to 125°C, making them suitable for multiple applications.

Benefits of using ELFH20180 Terminals

ELFH20180 terminals offer several advantages over other terminal systems. These advantages include:

• Reduced size and weight: The ELFH20180 terminals are smaller and lighter than other terminal systems.
• High efficiency rate: The dual locking system ensures an effective connection in a wide range of applications.
• Reliable contact: The headers, plugs, and sockets have superior contact pressure and long-term stability.
• High levels of environmental protection with a UL1977 rating of 70µm wire gauge.
• Wide temperature range: This terminal system is designed to operate in a range of -55°C to 125°C.
• Easy installation: The connectors have easy push-in connections, reducing the time needed to install or remove the terminal.

ELFH20180 terminal systems are an excellent choice for space-limited applications and reliable signal transfer between power sources. With its multiple advantages and international standards, the terminals are ideal for the high-end market sector and commercial industry.
