M52-5103145

M52-5103145 is a rectangular connector belonging to the category of Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets. It is a 6-pin crimp-type connector pin with a 2.54 mm spacing between pins. This type of connector is frequently used in various applications such as computers, cameras, digital radios, power supplies, portable audio equipment, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The M52-5103145 rectangular connector has two main parts: a header and a receptacle. The header is mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB) and particularly serves to provide dual-guide alignment. The connector’s pins are then inserted through the mounting holes on the PCB and soldered in place. The receptacle is designed to accept the pins of the header, creating a connection to the PCB.

The connector utilizes a friction locking mechanism for a secure connection between the header and the receptacle. This mechanism works by the receptacle having a small protrusion on the side of each pin. When the header pins are inserted, they engage the protrusion on the receptacle pins, which produce friction and a locking action. This makes the connection much more secure than simply soldering the pins in place, as there is no chance for them to become loose.

The connector is rated for three different contact forces: Standard, High-low and Low. This is related to the current rating of the connector. Standard contact force is 1.6A, High-low contact force is 3A and Low contact force is 5A. The current rating of the connector also depends on the application it will be used for.

The M52-5103145 can be used in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in the consumer and industrial field. For example, it can be found in many communications devices, industrial controllers, laboratory equipment, printers, medical equipment, and other electronic goods. The connector is also widely used in the automotive industry, such as in heating and cooling systems, door locks, starter systems, and fuel pumps.

The M52-5103145 Rectangular Connector is a versatile and effective solution for various applications. It is specifically designed to provide a reliable connection between devices such as computers and other electrical components. Its unique friction locking mechanism ensures that the connection is secure and will not come undone, while its multiple contact forces offer flexibility for a variety of currents.
