SS-718804S-A-NF

Modular connectors, often referred to as \'plugs-and-jacks\' or \'jacks,\' are essential in providing reliable connectivity between disparate parts. SS-718804S-A-NF is a 3-pin vertical-mount jack commonly used in audio-related applications as well as for industrial interconnections. This article looks at the application and principles of operation in relation to this specific product.

Overview: SS-718804S-A-NF

SS-718804S-A-NF is a 3-pin vertical-mount jack specifically designed for circuit board mounting or wire-to-circuit board applications. The product is intended for use with solid and stranded conductor copper wiring with a diameter between 28 and 22 AWG. The jack’s body is made of brass and plated twice with tin for corrosion resistance, while the pins are copper alloy with a tin plating. It also has an operating temperature range of -25C to 105C, a contact resistance of 20mΩ max, and an insulation resistance of 1000mΩ min.

Application

SS-718804S-A-NF is most commonly used in audio-related applications due to its specified maximum contact resistance and 3-pin design. The jack can be used with both 3.5mm and 6.5mm plugs. It’s also commonly used as part of industrial interconnections, such as in networking and telecommunications systems. In automotive applications, the SS-718804S-A-NF jack can be used for power, ground, and signal connections. It is also regularly used in many medical device designs for providing power and data connections. The jack works well in areas limited on space since its vertical design does not require much installation length. Additionally, it is reliable in vibration-heavy environments as it features pressure-contact terminals that help keep the wiring securely in place.

Working Principle

The working principle of the SS-718804S-A-NF jack is fairly straightforward. The device serves as an intermediary between two wires or between a wire and a circuit board. The jack has three input and three output connections: the signal, ground, and power connections. When a 3.5mm or 6.5mm plug is inserted into the jack, the contacts within the jack make contact with the plug’s pins and create a continuation of the electrical circuit. This type of jack also has a knob on the side that controls the amount of pressure applied to the plug when connected. This knob allows the user to customize the connectivity tolerances for a particular plug to ensure an optimal connection.

Conclusion

SS-718804S-A-NF is a reliable jack with many different industrial applications. This product is suited for audio-related applications, medical device designs, and various automotive applications. Its vertical design is an excellent choice for projects that involve working with limited space. The jack is easy to use and customizable with its pressure control knob. The SS-718804S-A-NF jack provides users with a reliable and efficient connection between different wires or between a wire and a board.
