TSW-118-17-S-S

Rectangular connectors are one of the most common types of electronic components used to make electrical connections, typically between two or more different devices. The TSW-118-17-S-S is a rectangular connector manufactured by Amphenol that is often used in a range of signal and power applications. This versatile connector features a rugged construction, reliable performance, and superior electrical performance.

The TSW-118-17-S-S is an extremely durable and reliable connector designed for a range of demanding applications. The connector is made up of a single-ended male header that plugs into the back of a printed circuit board (PCB) socket and is mounted by a center pin, two staggered sets of pins and a sliding lock. It features a total of 17 pins arranged in two sets, one set with 7 pins and another with 10 pins. It is also labeled according to the signal pin-out it supports.

The TSW-118-17-S-S is often used in signal applications such as automotive, medical and military installations. In such applications, the connector is meant to transmit both power and data from one device to another. It is typically used along with a cable or socket to provide a co-axial connection between two devices or components.

The working principle of a TSW-118-17-S-S rectangular connector is quite simple. When plugged into a socket, the connector’s pins create an electrical connection between the two components. The pins then pass current from one component to the other through the socket. Thus, the connector is used to transmit both power and data from one component to the other.

The design of the TSW-118-17-S-S connector makes it extremely durable and reliable. The pins are made of brass and plated with a corrosion-resistant material to help prevent mechanical and electrical failures. Additionally, the connector is sealed with a rubber seal to help prevent dust and water from entering the socket. The locking mechanism also ensures that the connector remains securely in place, even in harsh environments.

In summary, the TSW-118-17-S-S is a highly versatile, rugged and reliable connector designed for signal and power applications. Its construction, sealing and pins make it suitable for a range of hostile and demanding environments and applications. As such, it is a highly reliable and cost-efficient component for connecting two or more devices or components.
