SSW-146-21-S-D

The SSW-146-21-S-D is a rectangular style connector, classified as a ‘header’. This type of connector is primarily used to join electrical components together, for example on a PCB or motherboard, and is typically used in automotive, industrial, and instrumentation applications. Designed as a cost-effective solution for electrically connecting a number of electronic components in one small package, the SSW-146-21-S-D rectangular style connector offers excellent reliability, electrical performance and power-handling capability, making it an ideal choice for many OEM applications.

The SSW-146-21-S-D rectangular connector is designed with a standard 21-pin configuration, and comes in two separate pieces; a male ‘plug’ and a female ‘socket’. The male plug has a plastic case with two round pins on either side that engage into the female socket connector. The female socket is slightly larger and contains a swivel mechanism that locks the male plug into place once it has been inserted. The two pieces are held together with a thumb release tab that must be depressed in order for the plug to be removed from the socket.

The PCB connector is designed to accommodate a variety of cable options, allowing for a flexible range of connections to be achieved. It features a standard wire-in connection that uses a single cable that plugs directly into the connectors. Alternatively, the connectors are designed to accept both a 20-pin and a 44-pin configuration of ribbon cables.

The SSW-146-21-S-D connectors are designed to be extremely durable, offering excellent resistance to shock, vibration and corrosion. They are also designed to be highly reliable, utilizing a series of contact blades that press firmly against the mating female components in order to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection between them. This ensures a high level of electrical contact for long-term reliability and performance.

The SSW-146-21-S-D connectors are designed to meet IP67 sealing requirements, meaning they are completely dust-proof and are also resistant to moisture and water ingress. This makes them an ideal choice for exterior or enclosed electrics, where products need to be reliably sealed against the elements. The robust design also makes them suitable for applications requiring a high level of durability, such as industrial, automotive or instrumentation applications.

The SSW-146-21-S-D rectangular connector provides a simple and efficient solution for connecting a variety of electrical components. It offers excellent resistance to moisture, dust and electrical contact, making it a reliable choice for many applications. Its simple design and cost-effective performance makes it an ideal choice for a range of different industries, from automotive to instrumentation.
