SSM-107-T-DV-A-P

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

SSM-107-T-DV-A-P represents a standard of female rectangular connectors, which has wide applications in wireless communication, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, etc. The product belongs to the family of SDVO – a series of connectors developed by Samtec.

Application Field

SSM-107-T-DV-A-P is an ideal choice for applications related to wire-board connections, as it ensures a safe and reliable connection. Because of its low profile design, the connector is widely used in various industries such as automotive electronics, telecommunications, personal care appliance industry and computer/peripheral industry. For example, it can be used in complex systems which require multiple wire boards, engines that require frequent wiring, etc.

Working Principle

The SSM-107-T-DV-A-P utilizes a two-piece design. The front part is a header, which is a metal strip formed in a special shape that contains contacts with small tips that are welded to the PCB. These contacts are then soldered to the board. The rear part is a receptacle, which is a cylinder that contains many small metallic parts that are driven into the wall of the cylinder.

Once the SSM-107-T-DV-A-P is correctly positioned, it is inserted into the board. The metal strip of the header immediately contacts the main surface of the board and the contacts from the receptacle start to spread into the wall of the cylinder. The action of the metal parts against the wall of the cylinder creates an electrical connection between the header and receptacle. This completes the connection between the two sections of the connector, and thus a reliable and secure connection is established.

Advantages

In addition to its low-profile design, the SSM-107-T-DV-A-P offers several advantages over traditional connectors. It is easy to mount and its design allows for flexibility when it comes to positioning the parts. This allows it to fit into the limited space of small-sized appliances and gadgets. Furthermore, the use of a two-piece construction helps to reduce the chances of faulty connections, as each part is self-contain and needs to fit precisely. This helps to reduce the costs associated with manufacturing and improves reliability. Lastly, the connector offers excellent electrical performance with signal frequencies of up to 4GHz, which makes it suitable for high-speed applications.

Conclusion

SSM-107-T-DV-A-P is a reliable, low profile connector developed by Samtec. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive electronics to communication systems. Furthermore, it is easy to mount and has excellent reliability and electrical performance.
