Connector Type




   Socket       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Type A
 
     Universal Serial Bus - Interconnect specification that enables instant "outside the box" plug and play peripheral connectivity.  Type A connectors have a rectangular socket.
 
   Type B
 
     Universal Serial Bus - Interconnect specification that enables instant "outside the box" plug and play peripheral connectivity.  Type B connectors have a square socket.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary connectors.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Gender       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Male / Plug
 
     Male connectors or plugs are often referred to as header or free connectors. In coaxial RF connectors, the plug is normally the movable portion and is usually attached to a cable or removable sub-assembly. In shell type multiple-contact connectors, the plug usually contains the socket contacts and is mounted on the "hot" (rack) side of the system. Plugs mate with receptacles, jacks, outlets, etc.
 
   Female / Jack
 
     Female connectors or jacks are connecting devices into which plugs are inserted to make circuit connections.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted gender type.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Mounting Style




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Straight
 
     The connector does not bend.
 
   Right Angle
 
     The connector is bent at a right angle.
 
   Surface Mount (SMT)
 
     Surface mount technology (SMT) places small components on the surface of a printed circuit board. Soldering permanently attaches connectors to PCB traces. Unlike PC mount connectors, however, SMT connectors do not require drilled holes in the PCB. Using smaller components allows for higher frequencies of operation, smaller board size, etc.  
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary styles.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
RoHS Compliance




   RoHS Compliant
 
     Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
Performance
The maximum current or maximum voltage defined by an approval organization may differ from the supplier's maximums. In many cases, the product can be used safely at an unapproved level. Check with the supplier for specific usage details.



   Voltage Rating
 
     Voltage rating is the maximum operating voltage.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Current Rating
 
     Current rating is the maximum, recommended, continuous flow of electrical current.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Contact Resistance
 
     Contact resistance is the measurement of electrical resistance of mated contacts when assembled in a connector under typical service use. Electrical resistance is determined by measuring from the rear of the contact area of one contact to the rear of the contact area of its mate (excluding both crimps) while carrying a specified test current. Overall contact resistance would be the wire-to-wire measurement.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Insulation Resistance
 
     Insulation resistance is the electric resistance between two conductors separated by an insulating material.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Operating Temperature
 
     Operating temperature is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
