SDL-109-T-10

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are versatile and cost effective methods of interconnecting signal circuitry and power distribution. The most common type of rectangular connector is the SDL-109-T-10. It has roots developed around electronics for military use but is also frequently used in the commercial realm. Although having some commonalities with other ‘traditional’ rectangular connectors, the SDL-109-T-10 stands out as a more robust and advanced solution due to its unique design.

The SDL-109-T-10 is a hermaphroditic connector which has a single-piece housing composed with an interface that provides an internal wiring mechanism. It is designed to provide a reliable means of mating cables while also facilitating easy connection and disconnection. It can be used with a range of mating connectors, such as MIL-C-55302, MIL-C-38999, Leo, MIN-D, and universal. It is also a very compact design which makes assembly easy and reduces installation costs.

The application field of the SDL-109-T-10 is diverse. It is used in a number of different industries and equipment and is especially favoured for its performance in many applications that require fast connections and disconnections. Examples of its usage include aircraft, power plants, ships, and telecommunication applications. It is also found in many commercial and industrial equipment such as robotics, radio equipment, computers, medical devices, motor sports, and more.

The working principle of the SDL-109-T-10 relies on an internal spring-loaded cage or latching mechanism that grasps the mating components as soon as they are plugged in. This motion is what locks the components together and ensures a secure fit and connection. The single-piece housing of the connector also helps to keep the components in place, and the circuit integrity is ensured by the use of a dual-spring contact on the female side of the connection. This contact has a larger spring that provides initial contact with the companion pin and a smaller spring that provides additional contact for more electrical stability. On the male side of the connection, the SDL-109-T-10 uses ‘pins’ that are made of two different materials–steel and copper. The copper pins provide the electrical connection, and the steel pins provide additional strength to the connection.

The SDL-109-T-10 is a reliable and versatile rectangular connector that has a wide range of applications. Although it is commonly seen in commercial and industrial applications, it is capable of meeting the rigorous demands of military applications as well. It is easy to assemble and features a latching design that ensures a secure connection between the two components. It also features a dual-spring contact system that provides additional electrical stability and circuit integrity, and its steel and copper components ensure a long lasting connection. With all of its features, the SDL-109-T-10 is a dependable and cost effective option for any application.
