FOLC-120-02-S-Q-LC

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

Rectangular connectors are a type of connector commonly used in multiple applications due to their ease of use and durability. One type of rectangular connector is the FOLC-120-02-S-Q-LC, a female socket designed to mate with components such as male pins and plugs as well as another female header. It is characterized by its robust construction, robust contact forces, wide temperature range, high levels of shock and vibration resistance, low contact resistance, and robust metal housing.

Applications

The FOLC-120-02-S-Q-LC is designed to function in a wide range of applications across various industries. They are widely used in the automotive industry due to their durability and flexibility. They are also used in the medical sector, military applications, and consumer electronics due to their superior resistance to shock and vibration. Other applications include industrial automation, data communications, telecommunication, and many more.

Working Principle

The FOLC-120-02-S-Q-LC is designed to mate with compatible components to ensure a secure connection. It consists of two main components, the female socket and corresponding male tabs. The female socket is designed with gold plated brass pins or needles that are inserted into the corresponding male tabs. As the pins and needles are inserted, the friction keeps them in place and ensures a secure connection. The other component of the connector, the female header, is designed to provide additional protection from environmental elements. It also serves to stablise the pins in the connector, providing mechanical support and preventing any dislocation.

Once the FOLC-120-02-S-Q-LC rectangular connector is mated, together, the electrical connection is made. The gold plated pins and needles create a low contact resistance, allowing for a quality and reliable connection. This is further increased by the strong holding forces, ensuring that the connection remains strong even when exposed to environment elements such as vibration. The robust metal housing protects the pins and needles from corrosion and other external factors, providing further durability and ensuring the connection lasts longer.

Conclusion

The FOLC-120-02-S-Q-LC is a type of rectangular connector designed for multiple applications. It provides reliable, secure, and low contact resistance connections that are highly durable and resistant to shock and vibration. This makes it an ideal choice for many applications in industrial automation, medical sector, data communication, telecommunications, military, and automobile industry. Its robust construction and superior resistance to environmental factors give it an advantage over many other types of connectors.
