PHEC120P-S211LF Connectors, Interconnects

Introduction

The PHEC120P-S211LF, which belongs to the D-Shaped Connectors – Centronics range, is a simple fitting that is very common in the electronics industry. It is fast becoming a preferred solution for applications where tight spaces exist, and having these small connectors ensures that the user has a relatively fast way of connecting two pieces of equipment.

Application Field and Working Principle

The PHEC120P-S211LF D-Shaped Connectors – Centronics have a broad range of application fields. These range from the standard-sized connectors seen in the computer industry, to the tiny versions which are used in the mobile phone and electronics industries. In the medical field, they are useful in connecting small tubes and other medical equipment for accurate data collection.

The PHEC120P-S211LF has a standard 5-pin layout, which means that it can be used with almost all types of equipment. Its basic components are a number of contact pins, a male or female jacket that encases the pins, and a locking latch. When properly fitted, the connector should be able to withstand a wide range of temperatures, pressures and vibrations.

The working principle is quite simple. The user first needs to join two pieces of instrumentation with the PHEC120P-S211LF. This is done by sliding the male and female jackets of the connector onto each of the instrument connections. The locking latch then locks the connectors in place. Once the connection is established, the instrumentation will be able to combine its data.

Conclusion

The PHEC120P-S211LF D-Shaped Connectors – Centronics are ideal for users who need to fit small and precise connectors, and who require a little bit of extra durability. The application field for these connectors is quite wide, and thanks to the locking latch, users can be assured that the connection is reliable and secure.
