GTC18SFBN-M30

GTC18SFBN-M30 is a type of rectangular connector that comes with headers and male pins. It provides insulation and solderablity, making it ideal for various types of electronic devices. This versatile and economical header connector is commonly used in a variety of applications from industrial equipment to home appliances. It is also suitable for both PCB and mounted applications.

The GTC18SFBN-M30 connector consists of two parts - a male pin and a header. The male pin features three sections - a shell, a pin, and a plastic locking collar. The pin is made of nickel-plated copper to provide excellent electrical conductivity while the shell provides durability and insulation. The plastic locking collar ensures that the pin is securely connected to the header and provides long-term reliability. The header features a plastic shell, a spring-loaded contact, and a dielectric insulation layer.

In applications where there are height-restricted areas, the GTC18SFBN-M30 connector is a good choice due to its low profile. It is available in two different heights, either 17.20 mm or 19.30 mm, which is ideal when limited space is available. The header is also designed to be used in both vertical and horizontal orientations, ensuring that it is compatible with most applications.

In order to ensure reliability, the GTC18SFBN-M30 connector has passed a variety of tests. It has passed 1000 and 5000 mating cycles with temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius (-40°F) to 85 degrees Celsius (185°F) without any visible deformation. This ensures excellent performance in harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, it has been certified to UL 77 Series V and CSA LR 305 Safety Certifications, making it safe to use.

The working principle of the GTC18SFBN-M30 connector is simple and efficient. The pin is inserted into the header until it is seated firmly and the plastic locking collar ensures that the connection does not loosen during operation. When a signal is applied to the pin, the spring-loaded contact within the header provides a secure and reliable conductive path with minimal contact resistance. The protective insulation layer further increases the reliability of the connection by preventing any interference from neighboring conductors.

The GTC18SFBN-M30 rectangular connector is an ideal choice for applications that require reliability, insulation, and cost-effectiveness. Its low profile design makes it suitable for height-restricted spaces and its UL77 certification ensures that it is safe to use in a variety of applications. With its simple and efficient working principle, it provides a secure and reliable conductive path with minimal contact resistance while providing excellent electrical insulation.
