## Overview of the PSIP-02V-R-C The **PSIP-02V-R-C** is a specific connector housing belonging to the **PSI Series** (Panel-mount, Side-stackable, Interlocking) manufactured by **JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)**. It is designed for wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connections where space-saving and secure locking are priorities. --- ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | JST Sales America Inc. | | **Series** | PSI | | **Part Type** | Receptacle Housing | | **Number of Positions** | 2 | | **Pitch (Spacing)** | 4.00mm (0.157") | | **Number of Rows** | 1 | | **Mounting Type** | Free Hanging (In-Line) | | **Contact Gender** | Female (Socket) | | **Locking Style** | Outer Locking Mechanism (Secure Latch) | --- ### Key Features and Design #### 1. Locking Mechanism The "C" in the part number often denotes a specific coding or locking variation. This series features a **secure locking device** that prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration or tension on the wires. #### 2. Keying and Polarization The housing is designed with physical "keys" to ensure it cannot be inserted upside down or into an incompatible header. This prevents circuit damage during assembly. #### 3. Material Composition - **Housing Material:** Typically PA 66 (Nylon 66). - **Flammability Rating:** Usually UL94V-0 rated, meaning it is self-extinguishing in case of fire. - **Color:** The "R" in the suffix often indicates a specific color (Red), though this can vary by manufacturer batch; "S" usually denotes Natural/White. --- ### Associated Components To create a complete functional cable assembly, the housing must be paired with specific terminals and headers: * **Crimp Terminals:** Uses the **SPSI-41T-M1.1** or **SPSI-001T-M1.1** series (depending on wire gauge). * **Mating Headers:** Connects to PSIP-02V-LE or compatible PSI series PCB headers. --- ### Common Applications * **Home Appliances:** Used in refrigerators and washing machines for internal wiring. * **Industrial Automation:** Signal transmission in sensors and control units. * **Office Equipment:** Internal power or data links in printers and copiers.
