SL-120-G-11

Rectangular connectors are an essential element in almost any electronic project. They come in different shapes and sizes that are needed for various connections in a system. SL-120 Series screw-locking connectors are one of these types of connectors, used in a wide range of applications from industrial to consumption applications. Available in a variety of configurations and mounting styles, they meet the needs of today’s market. This article discusses the application field and working principle of SL-120-G-11 rectangular connectors.

Applications

SL-120 Series rectangular screw-locking connectors are designed for a wide range of applications such as communication, industrial control applications, construction and utilities, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive. The connectors feature high retention force, low contact resistance, and high temperature resistance. They are available in both solder and crimp terminations, providing a reliable connection with a low risk of failure. The easy-to-maintain design of the rectangular SL-120 series offers fast installation for cost-effective reliability in commercial and industrial settings.

The SL-120 Series connectors are rated up to 10A and 250V. Female sockets and receptacles are available in straight and right-angle configurations. The low insertion force and screw-locking mechanism make them ideal for remote applications and harsh environments. They are commonly used in the automotive industry for harness applications and in higher current applications in fields such as the automotive, medical, communications, industrial automation, and construction industries.

Working Principle

SL-120 Series screw-locking connectors are available in multiple configurations. Generally, the SL-120-G-11 version of the series has a fixed-position housing with a spring-loaded spindle. The spindle connects to a threaded mating spindle which, when turned manually, applies axial compression to a metal socket inside the housing. This connection is strong enough to withstand high vibration, temperature, and corrosion. It also resists loosening from vibration and ensures a steady current transfer.

The SL-120-G-11 also contains a rugged metal socket that contains multiple contact points for a secure connection. The multiple contact points ensure exact electrical continuity and prevents accidental disconnection. The metal socket of the SL-120-G-11 is UL94V-0 rated for enhanced electrical performance. There is also a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

SL-120-G-11 rectangular screw-locking connectors enable quick and reliable connections between two electrical components. The ease of use makes them a cost-effective choice for both commercial and industrial applications. The secure connection and moisture-proof features make the SL-120-G-11 an ideal choice for harsher environments such as the automotive and medical industries.
