ESS-116-T-23

ESS-116-T-23 connectors are a type of rectangular connector. Rectangular connectors are commonly used in a wide range of electronic applications, including the motor and power departments of automobiles. They are also used to connect personal computers and peripheral devices, such as monitors, keyboards, and mouse. ESS-116-T-23 rectangular connectors are known as headers, receptacles, and female sockets. Headers provide a means for connecting male plug connectors to electronic devices and allow for the two device contacts to maintain electrical connection and communication.

At one end of the header is a set of metal pins that act as contact points. These contact pins are arranged in a specific configuration and are designed to be used with the corresponding receptacle on the other device. A female socket is a female connector that is designed to plug into the header on the connected device. Additionally, headers may be designed with a notch or support that ensures proper mating of the connectors and prevents them from loosening.

The primary purpose of the ESS-116-T-23 is to meet the requirements for resilient cable-to-board connections with relatively low-contact forces guaranteed for the entire life of the connected product. Its unique design also makes it capable of having up to seven active contacts trapped between a spring-like section, and against a shingle that manufactures the contact area. This design allows better electrical properties such as low resistance and high reliability among other features.

The main materials used in the manufacturing of the ESS-116-T-23 include copper and a heat shrinkable insulation material. The copper is used in the production of the contact pins, which are polished for optimal performance to reduce electrical interference and arcing. The insulation material, usually a thermoplastic like polytetrafluoroethylene, acts as a barrier between the outer jacket of the connector and the contacts, sealing air and dust away and preventing contact corrosion. The ESS-116-T-23 also features a protection seal to guard against the entry of moisture and dust into the contacts.

The working principle of the ESS-116-T-23 connector is simple. When the female connector is plugged into the header, the contact pins make contact with the surface of the receptacle. This creates an electrical connection between the two devices allowing them to communicate and transfer data. The pins on the header also make contact with the insulation material around the external edges of the connector to prevent short circuits and electrical damage.

The ESS-116-T-23 rectangular connector is a widely used electronic component used in many applications. It works by providing a connection between two devices, allowing them to communicate and transfer data. The contact pins on the header connect with the corresponding contact pins on the receptacle of the other device, while the insulation material around them provide a physical barrier against air and moisture. The ESS-116-T-23 connector is highly reliable and offers excellent electrical performance and a long operational life.
