STMM-118-02-S-D-SM-LC

The STMM-118-02-S-D-SM-LC is a standard surface mount rectangular connector with two Horizontal 2x18 male pins. This connector is typically used in electronic and electrical appliances, consumer and industrial products, and home and office automation. Its primary purpose is to provide power or data connection in electronic platforms.

This connector is most often used for applications such as signal transmission, port connection, appliance control, wiring connection, and other general-purpose functions. Additionally, due to its small size, it is also frequently used in applications where space is a constraint. It is also corrosion resistance and designed to work in temperatures ranging from -25℃ to 85℃.

This kind of connector is built using ceramic insulation, brass contacts, and tin-plated copper contacts. The pins are placed in a surface-mount configuration with no gaps in between. Its strong and rigid design ensures a reliable connection and can be integrated into a wide range of electronic products.

The working principle of the STMM-118-02-S-D-SM-LC connector is very simple. It mainly combines the male pins of the connector and the female pins in the mating socket together. When the two pins are combined together, they will form a solid connection between the two components, thereby forming a complete electrical circuit. There are two main types of connections that can be made using this connector – a soldered or crimped connection.

Soldered connections are used when a very strong connection is required. This method involves heating the pin blades of the connector and applying a flux-soldering liquid to ensure that they stay in place. The advantage of this method is that the pins will not come loose, nor will they vibrate or create a short circuit. However, this method is not suitable for mass production because it takes a longer time to assemble the connectors.

Crimped connections are used when a more flexible connection is required. This method involves using a special crimping tool to attach the conductive wires to the appropriate pin blades of the connector. The advantage of this method is that it can be done quickly and requires less manual labor. Additionally, it allows the wires to be connected without soldering, which helps to reduce labor costs. However, this method is not as reliable as soldering since the connections are not as strong and could come loose over time.

The STMM-118-02-S-D-SM-LC connector is a popular choice for applications where space is limited and a reliable electrical connection is required. This type of connector is reliable, robust, and easy to assemble, making it perfect for a wide range of applications. The two types of connections available – soldered and crimped – provide flexibility when integrating this connector into a product.
