M52-5050945

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets encompass a variety of technologies that enable power and data connections between devices. M52-5050945 are the most common type of rectangular connectors for industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. These connectors use two interlocking rectangular connectors, a female and a male, to facilitate a non-permanent and dust or particle free connection.

The M52-5050945 is especially well-suited for a wide variety of applications. The main application areas are: automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, communication systems, and medical applications. This connector type is commonly used in applications such as off-board and on-board wire harnesses, testing, data/power/signal transfer, and military/aerospace environments. The M52-5050945 design allows for more time savings in assemblies, and higher quality connections due to its increased contact patch and higher retention force.

The M52-5050945 is a 2.54mm pitch connector with 0.4mm contact pitch and 10A current rating. This connector model is designed for wire-to-board and board-to-board applications and features a minimum mating temperature of -25°C to 120°C. It is available with a range of pin and PCB densities from 2 to 52 and with various plating or contact retention options.

M52-5050945 connectors are specifically designed for high vibration and shock tolerance, and are UL-listed for safety. They offer improved EMI protection and provide resistance to acid, corrosion, and high temperature environments. These connectors are also RoHS compliant and thermoplastic compatible with respect to their insulating material. The use of durable and compact components has enabled the M52-5050945 connectors to withstand extreme conditions such as under-the-hood applications.

The M52-5050945 has two distinct parts, an insulating housing and contacts. The insulating housing consists of two rows of rectangular slots and it requires specific assembly processes such as ultrasonic welding and stamping. The contacts consist of two symmetrical metal laminates, a spacer, and a conductor. The spacer and connector have an interlocking mechanism to enable reliable connection. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze and are gold-plated for corrosion resistance and contact force.

The contact force of M52-5050945 connectors is maintained by a ratcheting mechanism which tightens the contact as it is precisely inserted. The contact force is maintained by two spring fingers on each link. The contact force is controlled by the spacer and is designed to stay connected even in instances of vibration and shocks. This ensures that the connections are always secure and not disrupted by external forces.

The M52-5050945 is a highly reliable, versatile, and cost-effective connector system. Its robust design is suitable for a wide range of applications in a variety of different industries. Its simple assembly allows for easy and efficient connections, and its vibration and shock resistant properties make it suitable for even the most demanding conditions. The M52-5050945 is the perfect connector choice for your next project.
