FHP-23-02-T-S-LC Application Field and Working Principle

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC is a rectangular connector under the header class of product, manufactured by Molex. It’s primarily used as a high-density interconnect solution for printed circuit board assemblies in the electronics industry. It features a 2.0 mm pitch to provide low-profile connections when needed in limited space.

The rectangular connectors offer superior performance and reliability in applications with a wide range of temperature variability and they are used in a variety of industrial settings. This includes automotive applications, medical equipment, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and military/aerospace applications.

Features and Benefits

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC connector offers a number of benefits in order to provide superior connections and performance in demanding environments. Features and benefits of the FHP-23-02-T-S-LC include:

• High-density, low-profile design
• Extended temperature range
• Corrosion-resistant contacts
• Designed for high-vibration applications
• Anti-vibration secure locking design
• Integral protection against electrical shock

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC connector is available in both standard and reverse orientation versions, with either streamlined and protruded mating features. It’s also available in two sizes (2 mm and 2.5 mm) to accommodate various sizes of circuits.

Working Principle

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC connector features two layers of metal for robust connections that withstand the harsh conditions typical of high-vibration applications. The first layer is composed of standard copper contacts that make up the shell of the connector. The second layer is composed of gold plated contacts that provide the electrical connection. The gold plating ensures a reliable connection and reduces the levels of electrical resistance.

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC connector also has a robust locking mechanism that provides a secure connection and reduces the risk of vibration-induced disconnection. The connector employs a two-ferrule locking system to ensure that the male and female components are securely mated. The plastic ferrule mechanically locks into the metal contact housing for a secure fit.

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC connector is also designed with integral protection against electrical shock. The housing has two mounting flanges that can be used for securing the connector to a ground plane. The mounting flanges provide additional protection from electric current and serve as a durable barrier against shock and vibrations.

Conclusion

The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC is a high-density, low-profile rectangular connector manufactured by Molex. It’s designed to provide superior performance and reliability in demanding environments. The connector features two layers of metal contacts for robust connections, a two-ferrule locking system for secure connections, and integral protection against electrical shock. The FHP-23-02-T-S-LC is suitable for a wide range of applications, from medical equipment to military/aerospace applications.
