HLE-123-02-L-DV-A-P

The HLE-123-02-L-DV-A-P is a rectangular connector in the headers, receptacles, and female sockets group. It consists of two pieces, a header and a receptacle, that join to form an electric connection. These components are most commonly used to form a reliable connection between two printed circuit boards.

Application Field

The HLE-123-02-L-DV-A-P connector is used in a wide variety of applications. It is suitable for use in medical equipment due to its durability and small form factor, making it suitable for use in confined/limited space environments. It is also ideal for harsh-environment applications such as automotive, military, and aerospace products, as it features an IP68-rated waterproof construction and anti-vibration characteristics.

In addition, the connector is widely applicable in telecommunications, wearables, consumer electronics, and computing electronics due to its reduced weight and size, high retention force, and cost-effective construction.

Working Principle

The HLE-123-02-L-DV-A-P connector features a board-to-board connection configuration wherein the receptacle (female) socket is mounted onto the device to be connected, while the header (male) is attached to a cable or harness. The receptacle contains two rows of pins, each with two points of contact, which makes it possible for reliable mating with its companion header.

The pins present in the receptacle are of two types—those with a single point of contact and those with a double point of contact. The connector is designed to travel through the device, soldered or crimped, to mate with the header. A locking mechanism ensures secure connection by preventing accidental separation.

Conclusion

The HLE-123-02-L-DV-A-P connector is a suitable alternative to traditional spring connectors in a range of application fields, notably those demanding a small form factor and enhanced durability, such as those environments where moisture and vibration can be encountered. Its reliable connection and rugged construction make it ideal for harsh-environment scenarios, and its board-to-board connection configuration ensures secure and reliable connection.
