SDL-101-TT-12

The Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Product Series includes SDL-101-TT-12, a single row, discrete wire, surface mount, socket type, male polarized, interconnect system. This interconnect system typically has a receptacle mounted onto a printed circuit board (PCB) and a surface mount header or female socket that engages the receptacle. These products are designed to provide reliable, compact and cost effective connections for low-power control, data communications, signal transmission, and test equipment applications.

The SDL-101-TT-12 design is similar to other single row, discrete wire connectors, however the connection process is smaller, simpler and easier to completion. The male terminal consists of a friction-fit wire spring that makes contact with the female connection. The female connection is manufactured as a single piece, with no additional components to the assembly. To ensure a secure connection, the wire spring is also designed with a special spring-steel memory that secures the connection during insertion and ensures reliable connection over time.

In order to maximize performance, the design features a slotted contact tip and predefined contact force that is optimized for the application. This alleviates excessive force requirements when making the connection. In addition, its low power consumption ensures efficient power dissipation, minimizing copper track length and preventing excessive heat build-up on the components.

Furthermore, the SDL-101-TT-12 interconnect is designed with a robust mechanical structure that is able to withstand high vibration and shock, as well as thermal aging and environmental requirements. Its superior environmental durability makes it ideal for applications in hostile conditions such as automation, automotive, industrial, security, and medical/healthcare. It is rated for up to 500V/ 100A.

When used in critical applications that require reliable power connection, the SDL-101-TT-12 can provide high-performance levels. Its added features and design elements can help reduce process failure, minimize component damage, and lower failure rate, ensuring a smooth transition from prototype to production.
