SSW-138-02-S-S

The SSW-138-02-S-S, or Single Shorting Wire Female ST Socket with 2.54mm Pitch, is a rectangular connection system used mainly by the automotive and industrial device sectors. This product is specially designed for applications where level voltage is required from the supply or output side, such as controlling electrical circuits and providing test points.

SSW-138-02-S-S are a through-hole mounting connector composed of a plastic housing, a female socket with 2 soldering tails, and a single shorting wire. The plastic housing is rectangular in shape, with four angled walls; the 2.54mm pitch allows for the installation of the pins in a straight line from side to side. This product is available in two versions, with an insulated or direct shorting wire, depending on the application.

The working principle for this product is as follows: Primary electrical circuits are routed from the Supply/Output to the female socket via the wire lead. When the plug is inserted, its pins make contact and create an electrical connection with the female socket’s pins. The shorting wire is used to ensure that the current flows, by providing a secondary electrical connection and closing the circuit. This connection is made either between two adjacent pins or between the two ends of the socket, depending on the model, and ensures that the electrical current reaches the destination without interruptions.

The SSW-138-02-S-S connector is a highly reliable, low cost rectangular connection and provides a secure and reliable connection to ensure the continuity of electrical flow. It offers a wide range of applications, from low voltage to high current, including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
