SS-71800-117

Modular Connectors - Jacks

Modern communication relies on the reliable transmission of high quality data in long distance networks, so the hardware used to establish these links must meet the stringent requirements of efficient signal conditioning and robustness. The SS-71800-117 modular connectors and jacks are designed for these applications, providing robust connections with reliable electrical contact and sufficient current carrying capacity.

Application Field

SS-71800-117 modular connectors and jacks are most commonly used in the telecom sector, but can also be used in a variety of other applications. They are particularly popular in Passive Optical Network (PON) applications, where they are used to link customer equipment, such as routers, to the optical fiber cables. The connector is also used in traditional copper-based applications, such as ISDN, GSM and broadband connections. They are increasingly being used in industrial, audio and automotive applications, where a robust connection is needed that can withstand vibration or temperature extremes.

Working Principle

The SS-71800-117 is a multi-pin modular connector, typically with a keyed locking mechanism. It uses a snap-together, split housing design for easy assembly of the connector in different configurations, and a solder retention clip to secure the wires. It provides an electrical connection by using contacts, which are protected and secured by a resilient plastic housing. The contacts are pressed between two metal plates, providing a good electrical connection and also providing protection against corrosion. The locking mechanism has two parts - a slotted metal plate in the housing, and a securing plastic tab which can be rotated to hold the two parts of the housing together.

The contacts are designed to carry currents between 3A and 27A, depending on size and arrangement. It is typically used in data applications. SS-71800-117 jacks can be used with a variety of cable types, including standard Cat5e or Cat6 and shielded cables. They are also compatible with multimode and single-mode optical fiber cables, allowing them to be used in a wide range of applications.

Features

The SS-71800-117 connectors offer a number of advantages over other modular connector types, including:

• High current carrying capacity of up to 27A
• Easy assembly with a snap-together design and locking mechanism
• High reliability due to its robust design
• Compatibility with a wide range of cables
• Available in a range of sizes, colors and pin configurations

Conclusion

The SS-71800-117 modular connectors and jacks are versatile and robust solutions for establishing reliable connections. With their high current carrying capacity, compatibility with a range of cables and robust design, these connectors provide a reliable solution for a wide variety of applications.
