RJE71-188-1401

The RJE71-188-1401 is part of the RJE series of Modular Connectors from Weidmüller. This product line is primarily designed to offer a broad range of jacks and plugs with different sizes and contact combinations. This particular model is classed as a right-angled jack and is typically used for circuits where a high-density connection is required.

These modular connectors have 8 contacts and are constructed using a fully shielded metal chassis to reduce EMI and other interference, as well as providing robustness against vibration and aggressive environments. The RJE71-188-1401 is designed to meet high speed requirements whilst maintaining a reliable connection over a wide range of temperatures. It is particularly suited to telecommunications, audio, light and air-related applications.

In terms of general operation, the RJE71-188-1401 is designed to be mated with a similarly keyed plug. The eight gold flash-plated contacts provide an electrical connection between two devices. When mating the plug and socket, the key prevents the incorrect alignment of circuits and ensures there is good electrical contact is achieved.

In terms of the design of the transmission contacts, the RJE71-188-1401 is a split-pin type connector. This means that the pin is divided into two halves which are subsequently inserted into the contact housing. This ensures that the contact is in register, reducing the likelihood of misalignment and resulting in a reliable connection. The contact sleeve is made from low-friction polyphenylene sulphide to ensure that the connection is smooth and controlled. Finally, the entire contact assembly is held in place by the back shell, which is also used to provide strain relief and secure the socket to the chassis.

The RJE71-188-1401 is designed specifically for applications which require a high-density connection, as well as protection from EMI and other interference. This ensures that any data transmitted or received through this connection is reliable and error free. It is also suitable for a wide range of harsh environment applications, meaning it can be used in a range of industrial settings where small cable diameter, miniaturization and vibration are present.

In conclusion, the RJE71-188-1401 is a high-quality modular connector designed for use in a range of applications requiring a reliable and robust connection. It features an eight-contact split-pin design, as well as a fully shielded metal chassis to ensure minimal interference. The durable and reliable construction ensures that this product is suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
