Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

10142708-04200LF application field and working principle

10142708-04200LF are high density, low profile, and polarized rectangular connectors. 10142708-04200LF connectors are primarily used for applications that require high-density connections in a small footprint. Their extreme density make them suitable for use in transporting data and connecting circuits in various scenarios.

This type of rectangular connectors consist of two pieces, or more precisely headers and male pins. The connectors both have two rows of 4 polarized positions, and enhance secure connection due to the poles on the contacts. The headers are polarized, meaning that they can only be inserted in one way in order to power up a circuit correctly. This is beneficial for users because it means that power is distributed correctly and pins are not damaged due to incorrect connection.

The pins have a 0.025" square cross section, and have a pressure-fit design for acceptable retention and mating contact. They are manufactured from phosphor bronze with a gold-plated finish, while the headers are Terminals manufactured with stamped and formed phosphor bronze, plated with a minimum of..007" thick gold over nickel.

The 10142708-04200LF connectors have many advantages. They have a peak operating temperature of 125° C, a low profile of only 5.08 mm, and a total current rating of 1A. Additionally, they come with a precision retention feature which allows them to grip securely and prevent migration during mating.

Furthermore, since they’re cost-effective, users can acquire many of these connectors without breaking the bank. They’re also UL listed, meaning they’re safer than other connectors, especially when it comes to applications that involve transmitting power.

Overall, 10142708-04200LF connectors are one of the most popular and widely used, making them a great option for various applications. With their great features and affordability, it’s easy to see why they’re a favorite among users.
