SDL-126-TT-12

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The SDL-126-TT-12 is an economical, high performance rectangular connector designed for use in a variety of applications. It features a low profile, fastenerless design and is available in a range of pin configurations. It is ideal for use in general electronic applications, telecommunications, instrumentation and medical electronic equipment, and is suitable for both through-hole and surface mount components.

The SDL-126-TT-12 offers a range of features and benefits which make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It has an insulation displacement contact (IDC) design which provides a secure connection that is resistant to vibration and dust ingress. The low profile design minimizes the risk of damage when components are mounted in close proximity. The connector is also cost effective, making it suitable for high volume manufacturing projects.

The SDL-126-TT-12 rectangular connector is a two-piece design consisting of a header and a receptacle. The header is also referred to as the pin and the receptacle as the socket. The header has a complimentary male pin array which sits inside the receptacle allowing the connector to be mated. A variety of pin configurations are available, ranging from 2 to 12 pins per side. All versions feature gold plating on the contacts for increased reliability and a secure connection.

To ensure the secure mating and electrical connection between the two parts, the header is secured to the receptacle with two captive screws. This provides the necessary strain relief, as well as providing a strain relief on the pins, helping to prevent them from becoming detached or damaged. The connector also includes a locking latch which helps prevent accidental disconnection, and a stainless steel shell which provides additional protection to the pins.

To ensure the correct connection and orientation of the header and socket, various keying mechanisms are included. These are designed to prevent incorrect mating, and ensure the safe and secure connection between the two components. A range of contact terminations are available including crimp, soldered and surface mount, which meet the specific application requirements.

Overall, the SDL-126-TT-12 rectangular connector is an excellent choice for a variety of applications. It offers a secure, economical connection which is resistant to vibrations and dust ingress. It is suitable for both through-hole and surface mount components and is available in a range of pin configurations, contact terminations and keying mechanisms to suit the specific application requirements.
