TFM-150-22-S-D-P

When it comes to electrical connectors, the TFM-150-22-S-D-P is typically classified as a rectangular connector, specifically a header with male pins. This type of connector is often used as a discrete component or an in-line connection for a wiring harness. Such applications include connecting electronic equipment together, routing stacks, distributing power, and more. Before going into greater detail, here is an overview of the different parts that make up the TFM-150-22-S-D-P.

Terminology:

• TFM: Short for ‘Two Piece Finger Metalized’, the TFM part of the connector is the main body component. It consists of two parts—the lower body and the upper body—that join together to form the connector. The two sections are held together by a single row of fingers that connect the upper and lower bodies.
• 150: The number indicates the number of contacts on the connector. This particular model has 150 contacts.
• 22: This is the rating of the contact on the connector. In this case, the contact has a rating of 22.
• S: The S stands for ‘straight’, and indicates that the contact will have a straight pin for insertion into the receptacle.
• D: The D stands for ‘double ended’, indicating that the contact has two ends which both make connection with the receptacle.
• P: The P stands for ‘polished’, indicating that the contact has been polished to a smooth finish for improved connection.

Now that we have a better understanding of terminology used for the TFM-150-22-S-D-P, it’s time to discuss the application field and working principle.

Application Field: The application field of the TFM-150-22-S-D-P is primarily in electrical and electronic circuits. This connector is particularly useful when dealing with high-density connections, as it can accommodate up to 150 separate contacts. This makes it ideal for any application that requires a large number of connections to be made between two points, such as in wiring harnesses, electrical panels, and communications equipment.

Working Principle: The working principle of the TFM-150-22-S-D-P involves the insertion of the male pin into the receptacle, which is located at the end of the connector. This contact is then secured to the receptacle via a locking tab or a friction lock. The contact is then held in place by its mating surfaces, which are designed to hold the contact in place without the need for additional fasteners. The contacts are then secured to the connector body with a pair of nuts which guide the placement of the contact in the receptacle.

Once the contact is secured in place, it is held by the contact on one end and the body of the connector on the other. When power is applied, an electrical connection is formed between the contact and the body, allowing for the transfer of electricity. This principle can be seen in just about any type of wiring system, as this type of connector is designed to allow a wide range of voltage or amperage levels, depending on the application.

Overall, the TFM-150-22-S-D-P connector is a highly versatile and reliable connector that can be used for a variety of applications. Its highly durable design means it can be used in a variety of environments, and its ability to accommodate a wide range of connections makes it a great choice for any type of wiring system.
