SDL-114-TT-12

The SDL-114-TT-12 is an electrical connector commonly used in a variety of electrical and electronic applications. It is a type of rectangular connector, part of the larger family of rectangular connectors that includes headers, receptacles, and female sockets.

Application Field

The SDL-114-TT-12 is a two-position receptacle configured of a 2-by-7-pin connector array with an internal and external key as an interfacing option for misconnections. This connector is used in low voltage applications typically found in consumer device circuitboards including smartphones, handheld gaming devices, and other mobile electronic components where space may be limited.

Working Principle

The primary role of the SDL-114-TT-12 is to serve as a reliable and low-cost means to connect circuit boards or components. The connector works by mating a male pin-array with a female socket array. When the connector is properly mated, a small set of electrical contacts around both the male and female pins make contact to establish a reliable circuit. Each electrical contact is precisely machined to create a reliable physical and electrical connection which can operate under a wide range of operating temperatures.

The SDL-114-TT-12 offers two spring-loaded ears on either side to provide additional retention and improve mechanical strength. In addition, there are various mounting options available to make installation easier in tight spaces. The SDL-114-TT-12 is available with or without an integrated EMI/EMC filter which is suitable for applications that require additional protection from electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility (EMI & EMC).

The SDL-114-TT-12 can also be populated with a variety of options, including 5th pins for higher mated retention, plastic guides for easier mating and un-mating, and various overmold options to provide protection from environmental stress and damage.

The SDL-114-TT-12 well-suited for applications such as recharging batteries in portable communication devices, computer systems, simplex and duplex communications, and industrial control and monitoring, among many other uses. Additionally, due to its low pin counts, small size, and cost-effectiveness, it is gaining traction in a variety of applications due to its increased use by various manufacturers.
