SSW-116-22-FM-D-VS

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets are one of the common types of connectors used in various industries. The SSW-116-22-FM-D-VS is an example of this type. This rectangular connector is an all plastic connector that is snap fit into a pre-drilled hole with a diameter range of Ø22 mm (0.87 in). It has a mated height of 10 mm (0.39 in) and a mounting height of 3 mm (0.12 in).

This connecter type is often used in consumer electronics, such as audio/video products and mobile phone batteries. It is also used in other consumer products such as small appliances, toys, and power supplies. It is also used for certain applications in harsh industrial or medical environments.

The SSW-116-22-FM-D-VS is composed of two parts, a header and a receptacle. The header is typically mounted on a board and carries two or more mating posts that the receptacle attaches to. One side of the receptacle carries an insulator that prevents the connection of the short-circuiting of adjacent connectors or pins, and it also controls any rotation of the connecter when it is attached and locked by the header.

The receptacle and header are typically made out of a thermoplastic material to provide strength and flexibility with a low profile. This helps to have a secure connection due to the positive locking features of the connector.

The receptacle carries contact sleeves, which provide the physical connection by electrical or electronic signal transmission from the header to the receiving device. These contact sleeves are typically composed of gold or tin as well as a contact retention material. The gold increases the conductivity and helps in reducing the occurrences of corrosion if used in humid environments, while the tin provides a good electrical contact for low current applications.

The SSW-116-22-FM-D-VS connector also offers a patented variation of a spring contact system that allows it to cover large contact surfaces, often with up to 80% current-carrying capacity. This spring contact system helps to ensure a reliable connection and maintain its voltage rating when used in harsh conditions.

Additionally, the SSW-116-22-FM-D-VS connector is designed to be vibration resistant when fully assembled. This helps to ensure that the connection remains secure when used in applications that require continuous motion or vibration such as automotive and aerospace applications.

Finally, the SSW-116-22-FM-D-VS connector offers a small profile and low contact resistance while maintaining a high current-carrying capacity. Its simple, reliable design, and versatility make it an ideal connector solution for many applications.
