SDL-110-T-10

SDL-110-T-10 is a type of electrical connector, belongs to the rectangular connectors – headers, receptacles, female sockets, and with pitch (Gap between the contact points) of 0.1 inch or 2.54 mm. It is one of the most common connectors type whose market share is very high.

SDL-110-T-10 application field

SDL-110-T-10 can be broadly used in many different applications. Generally, it can be used in the connector applications through which high current can be allowed, for example devices with large current or devices with high voltage can also be connected through these connectors. Receptacles and headers connectors are connected with each other using the opposite mating connectors.

SDL-110-T-10 connectors can generally be seen in the PC related applications, where they are used for connecting peripheral devices such as keyboard, mouse,monitors, USB ports and other devices with the computer interface.

Besides, SDL-110-T-10 connectors also have many other applications like medical or automotive. They can be seen in cameras, televisions, various electronic products such as control boards,chargers or digital DVD players. Not only that, they are also frequently used in devices with relay switch.

SDL-110-T-10 working principle

The working principle of SDL-110-T-10 connectors is based on the basic concept of electrical connection. The two opposite separate parts (female socket and female header) are plugged together in order to establish the electrical connection between them. When plugged in, the internal contact points (pin and receptacle) are placed in contact with the galvanized steel contact points. This make sure that the connection are electric-proof and avoid the electrical arcs.

Besides, when plugged in, there will be a locking mechanism preventing the pull out of the connectors. This locking force is ensured by the metal pressure plate which is also used in the making of the contact points. As the two plugs are pushed together, the pressure plate will deflect and create a locking force which will not let the connection be broken.

Additionally, when the two connectors are connected, there is a ‘latch lock’,usually made from plastic, which locks the connection. This latch lock helps in secure connection by avoiding the accidental disconnection.

Conclusion

To summarize, SDL-110-T-10 is a type of electrical connector which belongs in the Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets group and are commonly used in computer and electronic engineering applications. The working principle of these connectors follows the basic concept of electrical connection which involves the locking of the connection using contact points and latch lock.
