GZC32SFBN-M30 Application Field and Working Principle
GZC32SFBN-M30, or “Multi 30”, is a rectangular disconnectable connector that belongs to the headers, male pins category. Its primary use is to connect external electrical devices to an internal circuit, or to connect a device from one piece of a device to another. It is a single row female header connector, with a total of 30 slots available.
Design
The GZC32SFBN-M30 consists of two plastic housings, each containing fifteen 0.1” (2.4mm) slots, and two stainless steel contacts. The contacts are made of beryllium copper, and the housing is made of thermoplastic when molded. The plastic housing is heat resistant up to a maximum temperature of 105°C.
The pins on the GZC32SFBN-M30 are arranged in a straight line and are slotted with a 0.02” (0.5mm) gap between them. This gap offers a low contact resistance for a secure connection. The contacts are polarized, which ensures a proper connection is made. The contact is made with a low insertion force, and the contact retention is ensured through a locking mechanism.
Application
The GZC32SFBN-M30 is primarily used in applications where secure connections are needed, such as telecom, automotive and industrial electronics. The connector’s resistance to temperature, vibration, and shock make it suitable for use in any environment. It is also suitable for use in board-to-board connections in computers, routers, and other outdoor equipment.
The GZC32SFBN-M30 is commonly used in drilling machines, wind turbines, oil and gas industry, renewable energy applications and military electronics.
Working Principle
The GZC32SFBN-M30 is a single row female header connector. When two halves of the connector are mated, the pins make electrical contact through a metal contact area called a “receptacle”. The receptacle is made of a highly conductive metal, typically copper has the lowest electrical resistance, which increases the efficiency and reliability of the connection.
The contacts are polarized to ensure the connection is made properly. This prevents electrical backflow, and helps identify which way each connector should be inserted. The pins also have a locking mechanism which secures the connections, and prevents them from becoming loose.
