Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - 67273-035: Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors in the form of headers and male pins can often be found in electronics, telecommunications and computer manufacturing industries. The Molex connector series 67273-035 is no exception. Its main application is in automotive systems, specifically in Body Control Module (BCM), immobilizer and camera systems, as well as medical equipment. This article will discuss its possible applications and provide an overview of its working principle.

Applications of 67273-035

The 67273-035 is equipped with two wire functions for 12 to 22 AWG. It is a high-speed assembly designed to meet demanding application requirements in energy management systems.

• Automotive: The 67273-035 is used in BCMs, seat reclining systems, camera systems, immobilizer systems, and wiper control modules.
• Medical: The connector is used in device interfaces, wearable devices, endoscopes, and patient monitoring systems.
• Computer: You will find the 67273-035 in motherboards, memory cards, graphic cards, and laptop computers.

Working Principle

The 67273-035 rectangular connector is a negative-latching type pin clip header with male contacts or pins. When the pin clip is not in use, the pin head is pushed into the mating mechanism and held in place via spring force. To connect, the mating mechanism releases the pin clip which engages with the connector and is latched by the spring force when shut. The pins then make contact with the mating component.

For disconnection, the pin clip needs to be manually disengaged. The contacts inserted in the connector are normally formed from tin-plated silver alloy and feature an SMT construction for optimal dispersion of heat.

Conclusion

The Molex connector series 67273-035 is designed for high endurance in automotive and medical applications. It offers two wire functions for 12 to 22 AWG and utilizes a negative-latching pin clip header mechanism for optimal connection. The pins are precision-made from tin-plated silver alloy with SMT construction for maximum heat dispersion.
