5-215243-0

The 5-215243-0 is a type of rectangular electrical connector and header with male pins. It is a two-row product, with through-board pins mounted on either side, and can be used to interconnect wiring and used as an interface between two PCBs. Due to its design and dependability, it’s become a popular type of connector, and handy for connecting components in a circuit board.

The 5-215243-0 connector is ideal for many applications, including industrial electronics, automation, telecommunications, automotive, medical device, and electronic controllers. It’s also useful in the robust home automation and security system, for connecting components on multiple PCBs. They are also frequently used in the consumer and embedded market, including wearable device, GPS navigation, network appliances, gaming systems, smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras.

The 5-215243-0 Connector consists of two rows of contact pins, mounted directly into the PCB board. They are held in place by their housing, typically a metal shield with insulation; “header” refers to pins that protrude from the surface of the PCB board. The two rows of contact pins form a “male” connection, when the “female” connection consisting of IDC (insulation displacement contact) terminals, is attached onto the pins. The two terminals come into contact with each other through a pressure fit or standard mounting hole. The female terminals are then securely fitted over the male pins, without making physical contact with them.

The 5-215243-0 connector is designed to be a secure and reliable connection, providing stability and a firm, single-cable-solution for wiring components. Additionally, it allows for quick disconnection without losing continuity, making it easy to work with, and transport, in industrial automation and production line environments. It also reduces the amount of wiring needed for a circuit board, which helps to reduce clutter and reduce the cost of manual labor. When the male and female connectors are fit correctly, the contact surface area is sealed and the pins create a connection that prevents the risk of oxidation and corrosion.

The 5-215243-0 connector eliminates the need of soldering or crimping and thus reduces the cost of assembly and wiring errors. Unlike standard connector designs, it has removable connectors, providing a low-cost alternative for board design. Since these connectors are designed for manufacturing lines, they are extremely durable and have improved resistance to shock and vibration. Additionally, the connector is designed for repeated mating and unmating, which makes it suitable for maintenance in industrial environments.

The 5-215243-0 connector is extremely versatile and can be used in equipment with a wide variety of signal types, including low-voltage digital, high-frequency digital, and analog signals. It is particularly well-suited for applications requiring lower current, such as for signals associated with mobile phones or optical communication systems.

Overall, the 5-215243-0 connector is a reliable and cost-effective solution for connecting components on multiple PCB boards. With its versatility and dependability, it is an ideal choice for virtually any application where an efficient connection is required.
