SQW-140-01-L-D Application Field and Working Principle

The SQW-140-01-L-D connector offers a wide range of uses from commercial to military grade. It is a popular choice for applications requiring secure and reliable connections that need to withstand harsh environments and extreme temperatures. The SQW-140-01-L-D has a molded connector which is small in size, making it suitable for limited-space applications such as handheld devices and wearable electronics. It is designed for easy installation, featuring an easy self-keyed system that locks the plug into the socket.

The connector consists of two parts: a male plug and a female socket. The male plug has two rows of 4 evenly spaced headers that can be inserted into the female socket. The headers are made from brass or stainless steel and its center pins have a diameter of 0.1 inch (2.54mm). The contact area is plated with a gold finish for added protection against corrosion and oxidation. The socket has 4 retention clips that secure the plug when inserted into the socket.

Once the male plug and the female socket are assembled, an electrical connection is made between the center pins and the inner barrel rings. This connection passes current when a button switch is pressed, like on a power cord. The resistance between the pins varies slightly depending on the application, but is typically low and will not affect the flow of current. Additionally, the contact mechanism provides a secure connection, ensuring that the electrical connection is maintained even when the cable is moved.

The SQW-140-01-L-D features a locking mechanism that keeps the male plug securely engaged with the female socket. This mechanism prevents accidental disengagement of the plug, ensuring reliability even in environments prone to vibrations and shocks. To disconnect the two parts, the user must press the release button before pulling the plug from the socket.

The SQW-140-01-L-D connector is suitable for a variety of applications, including handheld devices, wearable electronics, automotive electronics, industrial electronics, and medical electronics. This connector is appreciated for its ease of use, small size, and reliable and secure connection. Its wide-ranging capabilities make it a popular choice when it comes to providing a secure connection in challenging environments.
