SS-718806S-A-PG4-1-AC

Modular Connectors – Jacks are designed to interconnect telecommunication lines for data and voice applications. A SS-718806S-A-PG4-1-AC Jack is one such device, and we will discuss its application field and working principle here.The SS-718806S-A-PG4-1-AC Jack is a 4 pin modular jack designed for applications requiring robust and stable connections. It features a disconnection detection mechanism which is helpful for troubleshooting. This Jack is suitable for board-level connections in which the host board features some shielding. Suitable applications include data storage networks, computer additions, and termination of shielded cable lines.The working principle of the SS-718806S-A-PG4-1-AC Jack is quite simple. It is based on the principle of uniform contact force between the contact pins and the mating pin. The contact pins are housed in a plastic housing which is firmly secured to the host board. The back side of the plastic housing is connected to the board via a spring contact. The mating pin is recessed into the plastic housing and is in contact with the contact pins.When a mating plug is inserted into the Jack, the contact pins make contact with the plug and establish electrical connection. At the same time, the spring contact with the board flattens out and exerts uniform force on the plug as it is pushed in. This ensures a strong and reliable connection.The SS-718806S-A-PG4-1-AC Jack also features a disconnection detection mechanism which is extremely useful in troubleshooting. This mechanism consists of a pair of golden edge connectors. The contact pins are recessed in the plastic housing and connected to the edge connectors. If the plug is partially removed from the Jack, the edge connectors detect this and indicate it. This makes it easy to diagnose any intermittent connections during installation.In conclusion, the SS-718806S-A-PG4-1-AC Jack is a modular jack designed for termination of shielded cable lines and data storage networks. It is based on the principle of uniform contact force between its contact pins and the mating plug. This not only ensures strong and reliable connections, but also makes it suitable for applications requiring robust and stable connections. Its disconnection detection feature is also helpful in troubleshooting.
