Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

SDL-118-TT-10 is a rectangular receptacle used mainly in commercial, industrial, military and other related applications. The insert is a low power type with gold plating and it features zinc-plated steel parts. It is designed for use in mated conditions of high temperature and vibration. It is available in various sizes and configurations.

Application Field

SDL-118-TT-10 is commonly used for telecom and networking applications. It can be used for high frequency applications such as mobile devices, data centers, IT infrastructure, and embedded systems. The receptacle combines electrical performance with a low-profile design, making it a preferred option for many applications.

It is also used in harsher environments such as automotive, military and aerospace. It is suitable for applications involving dangerous or hazardous materials, including chemical and biological agents. SDL-118-TT-10 can be used in extreme temperatures, from -55°C to 125°C (-67°F to 257°F).

Working Principle

SDL-118-TT-10 is a snap-in connector that is designed for snap-in-pop mating. It consists of a receptacle and a plug. The receptacle is designed for surface mounting and has two female or male contacts. The contact pins are precision-machined so that when mated with the plug, the connection is secure. The pin spacing allows devices to be mated quickly and securely.

The receptacle is designed to provide a secure connection with a minimum amount of torque. The contact is made with a controlled amount of ferrite which is used to maintain the signal integrity and help reduce EMI/RFI. In addition, the contact is held in place with a Teflon grommet and backed up with a shield for additional protection.

The design of the receptacle also ensures that contact tension and normal force between the plug and the receptacle are maintained, preventing overheating and false connections. The contact is held in place using a spring-loaded plunger that ensures that the contact is held in place even under vigorous vibration and shock.

Overall, SDL-118-TT-10 provides a robust and reliable electrical connection in a multitude of applications. It is designed for use in a wide range of temperature extremes and provides excellent contact and signal integrity. The design also ensures that contact tension and normal force is maintained, preventing overheating and false connections.
