SSW-102-21-S-D

SSW-102-21-S-D rectangular connectors are often part of complex electronic systems, so it pays to understand their purpose and operating principles before asking them to perform. These high-speed connectors are ideal for advanced data processing applications. They can be configured differently for different applications allowing for interchangeability and increased compatibility in the workplace.

A header or panel mount similar to the SSW-102-21-S-D is typically installed on the motherboard or printed wiring board. This allows for easy connection and removal of cables and wires, eliminating the need for cables or direct wiring between the components.

The receptacle, or female socket connector, is the “receiving” end and is installed on the panel or outside device. This connector is responsible for accepting the mating cable, interface, or device while providing communication and power to the connected device. The receptacle is also used to protect the cable from shorting and misalignment.

The SSW-102-21-S-D series of connectors is designed for use with twisted-pair or shielded cable. The series employs an adjustable ferrule and collet combination that enables precise insertion of the wire into the contact. The adjustable collet also ensures maintenance of the contact force as wire wear occurs.

The SSW-102-21-S-D series also features an insulated sheath that increases working voltage and ensures reliable mating. The sheath can withstand significant force during insertion without damage to the contact. The contact has an independent ground that is connected directly to the sheath, preventing common mode current from flowing through the cable.

For applications requiring higher data rates, SSW-102-21-S-D offers improved performance. These connectors use a baffle design which reduces near end crosstalk and reflection of high frequency data signals. This design ensures that signals are accurately transferred, even when operating in a high-speed environment.

Another important feature of the SSW-102-21-S-D series is its robust cable retention. By using a positive latching system, the connectors snap securely into position providing reliable cable retention. The latching system also protects against possible cable misalignment.

As the demand for high speed data processing increases, so does the need for advanced connectors. The SSW-102-21-S-D series of connectors offers an excellent combination of speed, flexibility, and reliability. Its adjustable ferrule and collet, along with its robust cable retention, make it an ideal choice for advanced data processing applications.
