SQT-106-02-L-5

The SQT-106-02-L-5 general purpose rectangular connector is a type of electrical connector that is used for a variety of various applications, and it utilizes a two-part system for power delivery and/or data transmission. These connectors are characterized by a flat, five-position receptacle, which is typically installed on the board, while the header is the male equivalent which is used to terminate the cable, and it is usually found in the mating position.These types of headers and receptacles, commonly referred to as male-female types, make up one of the most widely used rectangular connectors in the market today. This type of connector is especially popular in the industrial and military sectors for providing reliable electrical interconnects in applications such as high-current power delivery, signal transmission, and in more versatile applications like networking and serial communication between devices.The SQT-106-02-L-5 in particular is a rectangular non-locking female socket with a row of gold-plated pins encased in an insulating plastic frame. It can be specifically used in surface mount type applications, and is mounted on the side of a printed circuit board (PCB). This version of the connector is very robust and can handle heavy current, and has a current rating of 15 amps. It complies to the IEC 61076-2-101-06 Form A surface-mount receptacles standard.The working principle of the SQT-106-02-L-5 is relatively simple. Once the header has been plugged into the receptacle, power can be provided or data transmitted over the electrical connection. The two components are secured to each other using the locking mechanism which is provided, and can only be detached once this mechanism is released. The connection remains reliable at all times due to the gold-plated pins, which provides reduce resistance and makes for a higher quality connection.The SQT-106-02-L-5 rectangular connectors are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as audio and video equipment, medical equipment, and computers. It is also frequently employed in in military equipment for high temperature resistance and vibration proof capabilities, making it one of the more versatile connectors in the market today.In conclusion, the SQT-106-02-L-5 rectangular connector is a highly reliable and versatile electrical connection solution for a number of different applications. This version of the connector is especially useful in surface mount type applications as it is well-suited to handle heavy current, and is highly durable and robust. It also complies to the IEC standards and is frequently employed in both industrial and military sectors for its high-quality performance.
