Working Principle of FX2-120P-1.27DS Connectors

The FX2-120P-1.27DS connector is a female connector, designed to mate with a male connector. The connector consists of three parts: a housing, contacts and a shielding cover. The mating portion of the connector contains two “D” shaped halves that fit together. The shielding cover provides mechanical support and helps to protect the terminals from physical damage and environmental hazards such as dirt and moisture.

The contacts within the female connector are arranged in an offset circular pattern with a set of two “D” shaped terminals for each contact. The contacts are gold plated to provide superior electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The terminals mate with the male connector at the base of the “D” shape, allowing for a secure connection between the two connectors.
