SSM-150-T-DV Application Field and Working Principle

The SSM-150-T-DV is a mixed-pitch right angle header connector with two mounting heights. It is suitable for various field applications requiring mixed-pitch connectors that take up minimal space. Featuring a patented double-sided contact design, SSM-150-T-DV provides high current capacity and the extra shielding required for sensitive applications.

The SSM-150-T-DV is a traditional, mixed-pitch connector that utilizes a low profile, two piece design. It consists of a male header with pins that mates with a receptacle with cavities and pins on its mating side. The cavities in the receptacle are typically numbered, allowing for easily identification of each connection. The connectors are then secured together with a latch which keeps them firmly in place. The low profile makes it suitable for tight-packed spaces such as in handheld electronic devices as well as in surge suppressors, LED drivers and industrial devices.

The SSM-150-T-DV is capable of carrying high electrical current without compromising on contact reliability. This is due to the patented dual-sided contact design which provides an increased contact area for better power transfer. The contacts are also rated for 1A currents, up to 20V, making them suitable for a wide range of low voltage applications. The device is further equipped with an optional, three-layer shield that provides additional insulation and protection from external influences such as EMI/RFI.

The SSM-150-T-DV’s working principle is based on its ability to create an electrical connection between the two mating sides of the connector. When positioned, the pins on the header side are inserted into the cavities of the receptacle and the latch is used to secure the connection. As the pins are inserted, they come into contact with the internal contacts and create an electrical connection allowing for current to flow through the connector. The mating sides are also sealed against the entry of moisture or contaminants, further enhancing the reliability of the electrical connection.

The SSM-150-T-DV is a lightweight, cost effective and reliable right angle header connector suitable for a wide range of mixed-pitch applications. With its increased contact area, internal shielding and low profile design, it offers the perfect solution for applications requiring a high degree of reliability and protection from the environment.
