Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

SL-121-T-10 products are part of a larger family of rectangular connectors, including headers, receptacles, and female sockets. All three device types are available in a variety of sizes, configurations, and materials to meet the needs of a variety of applications. The SL-121-T-10 product is a small form factor, 10-pin device with straight forward installation, and ideal for low-power electronic solutions.

Application Field

The small size of the SL-121-T-10 combined with its convenience make it ideal for a variety of applications. It is commonly used in automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, motor controllers, and medical device components. Due to its low profile, the SL-121-T-10 is especially well-suited for applications that require a low profile connection, including smart phones, tablets, and wearables. Additionally, the device has sufficient reliability to be suitable for use in automated and robotic systems.

Working Principle

The SL-121-T-10 is a two- piece unit consisting of a reflow solderable female receptacle and a corresponding straight header. At the heart of the unit is a small number of connector contact pins that make contact with each other when the receptacle is attached to the header. The two parts are designed to mate securely together to create an electrical connection in a robust and reliable manner. In many applications, a locking or securing mechanism is incorporated into the unit to ensure that the connection is maintained throughout its life.

The SL-121-T-10 has a robust design with both the headers and the receptacles made from a high-temperature-resistant polyamide material. This material has the benefit of providing an excellent electrical and mechanical interface. In addition, the pins are gold plated for maximum corrosion resistance and electrical transmission. Furthermore, the SL-121-T-10 has a range of sizes and configurations available to cater for a wide range of applications.

The SL-121-T-10 is designed with convenience of use in mind. The connector can be used with a simple manual actuator to attach or detach the header and the receptacle. Advanced versions of the unit have a quick-connect coupling mechanism that allows connections to be made or disconnected with just one action. This feature can save a considerable amount of time over traditional connection methods when used in mass production settings.

The SL-121-T-10 is an ideal low-profile connection solution for a wide range of applications. Its size and convenience make it ideal for a variety of applications, from automotive electronics to wearables. It has a robust design with high-temperature-resistant materials and gold-plated contacts for maximum electrical performance. In addition, the unit is available in a range of sizes and configurations to cater for different application needs. Finally, advanced versions of the unit have a convenient quick-connect mechanism that can save time and money in mass production settings.
