SL-123-T-11

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

SL-123-T-11 is an extensive line of electronic rectangular connectors that come with a variety of header, receptacle and female socket configurations. It is popular on the market due to its robust connections, compact designs, and affordability as well as its superior performance for a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the various application fields and working principles of SL-123-T-11 connectors.

Application Fields and Range of Use

SL-123-T-11 connections are suitable for flexibility in a wide range of applications. These connectors are typically used in medical, industrial, automotive, and telecommunications industries, from low-level analog and digital signals to heavy-duty power and voltages. It is available from 0.8mm to 9.0mm pitch in vertical and right-angle PCB configurations.

SL-123-T-11 connectors are also available in a wide range of mating heights and numbers or poles. These poles can be used for a variety of functions such as signal and power transfer, grounding, and support. Headers and receptacles are also available in dual-row versions for applications where multiple contacts are required.

SL-123-T-11 connectors are optimised for a variety of power needs, from micro low-voltage equipment to high-powered products. They are suitable for applications requiring high-current ranging from 1A to 20A, allowing for maximum power transfer and reliability.

Features of SL-123-T-11

SL-123-T-11 connectors are generally designed with low electrical noise and low contact resistance. This feature allows for superior signal transmissions and property protection against interference. Additionally, they come with gold plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and connection quality.

The integral locking and latching design of SL-123-T-11 connectors ensures a secured and stable connection, while the anti-vibration design of the latching device ensures reliable connection integrity. It also comes with enhanced strain relief and contact retention to provide interruption-free performance. Furthermore, SL-123-T-11 connectors are RoHS compliant for compatibility with environmental regulations.

Working Principle of SL-123-T-11

SL-123-T-11 connectors use a two-piece, or three-piece system, with the header and female socket simultaneously inserted into the receptacle. The header features two rows of staggered pins that are designed to match the sockets in the female socket. The connection is established when the pins from the header enter the matching female socket cutouts in the female socket.

Once the pins pass through the female socket cutouts, a ‘latch and lock’ mechanism is triggered. This mechanism maintains the integrity of the connections while providing strain relief and contact retention. At the same time, the conductivity of the pins and the female socket cutouts is increased, resulting in superior signal transmissions.

Conclusion

SL-123-T-11 is an electronic rectangular connector with superior performance, robust connections, compact design, and affordability. It is suitable for flexibility in a wide range of applications ranging from medical, industrial, automotive, and telecommunicationsindustries. Additionally, with gold plated contacts, an integral locking and latching system, and enhanced strain relief and contact retention, SL-123-T-11 connectors provide superior signal transmission and connection protection.
