Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 2-1445058-6 application field and working principle

The 2-1445058-6 is a board-to-board connector that features two rows of eight, thick gold plated contacts both on the male and female ends. It has 32 positions that allow for 8-Bit data and power delivery. The header is designed for robustness and can withstand up to 5000 insertion cycles for dependable operation. The low profile design, which is just 6.1 mm in height, is also advantageous for reducing overall system height.

The connector is applied in many types of electronic equipment, like USB 3.0/2.0 Hubs, IP Cameras, printers, and VGA card. In addition, this header can also be used in consumer audio and video applications, such as computer gaming systems and home theater systems.

Working principle: The 2-1445058-6 connector uses a complex mechanism to form electrical contact. It works by having a set of two rows of contact pins arranged in a specific pattern, with the two genders of connector interlocking in a perpendicular orientation. When pressured together, each row of pins form a wedge in the opposing contact row, creating an electrical connection by pushing the contact pins into the opposing contact pads.

The contacting pins of the 2-1445058-6 is made from brass or stainless steel with a hard gold plated contact finish, which gives it excellent corrosion resistance and superior electrical performance. The terminals in the housing are held in place by a plastic wedge lock button, which mechanically locks the two connectors together firmly and also operates as a strain relief for the contacts.

The 2-1445058-6 connector features shrouded contact points that prevent adjacent conductors from shorting out and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI). The pitch of the pins allows for a greater number of contacts in a small area, making it ideal for board-to-board applications with tight spaces. In addition, the low profile design makes it easy to route wires and cables around and through the connector, allowing for a slim and seamless connection.
