SL-108-G-10

SL-108-G-10 Application Field and Working Principle

SL-108-G-10 rectangular connectors are classified as headers, receptacles, and female sockets. It belongs to one of the most common connector families, particularly in the technological world. Header connectors provide the mating relationship between the wires and the circuit board. Receptacles provide the opposite mating relationship; they are the mating sites for the header. Female sockets are attached to a cable and are used to mate perpendicularly with a header.

SL-108-G-10 connectors are ideal for PCB assemblies and for terminating wire-to-wire connections, and for low power industrial applications. SL-108-G-10 connectors offer 8 positions, easy assembly, low contact resistance and improved insulation resistance. They have a wiring density within a compact connection area, measuring 4.2mm x 0.8mm. SL-108-G-10 even have polarization features to help avoid problem with wrong mating.

SL-108-G-10 is widely used in airplanes, cell phones, computers, digital cameras, robotic applications, mother boards, telecommunication systems, and medical equipment. It is also a great choice for any kind of moving or harsh environment because SL-108-G-10 features high contact retention, vibration and dust-proof capabilities. Its dust caps help protect against moisture and dust.

The working principle of SL-108-G-10 is fairly simple. When power is applied to the connector, contact forces between the wire and the terminal creates an electrical connection. Connector contact resistance can cause voltage drops and excess heat. To ensure minimal contact resistance, SL-108-G-10 connectors are composed of a number of metal-alloy components – such as a contacting body for the conductor, a compression spring for the contact forces, and insulation materials for the electrical segregation between the connections and environment.

To summarize, SL-108-G-10 are rectangular connectors that belong to the headers, receptacles, and female socket category. They provide strong connection for low power applications, as well as dust/water resistance and high contact retention capabilities. Their working principle is based on contact forces, compression springs, and insulation materials that ensure minimal contact resistance.
