2-104435-0 Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 2-104435-0 (part number 0000-12520-8) is a Connector of rectangular type, used as a male header on a board. It is manufactured by FCI (formerly AMP) and Tyco Electronics, both of whom offer a wide range of connectors for industrial, telecommunications and other applications.

This device consists of a molded, two-piece box-shaped piece of plastic with an integral foil connector pad, located within the box. At the center of the box is the male connector pin. On its end is a flat contact point, either welded or soldered, to the foil pad. When the assembled header is inserted into the mating female connector, the contact point is in contact with the female connector. The force needed to insert the male pin is typically low, making it suitable for automated assembly.

The connectors are available in rows of two, three, four, and five pins. They are often available with solder post, snap-in, and press-fit contacts. All these features make them well-suited for applications requiring a high-density of electrical contacts on a printed circuit board.

The working principle of this connector is relatively simple. Firstly, the contact point of the male header, which is located on the end of the box-shaped plastic housing, is aligned with the corresponding female contact of the female connector. Once the contact point is placed correctly, the male pin is pushed into the connector and held in place by the pressure exerted by the foil connector pad.

The 2-104435-0 connector is rated for a voltage of up to 50 volts and for a current of up to 6 amperes. This makes it ideal for a wide range of industrial, aerospace, and medical applications. In addition, these connectors are designed to withstand shock and vibration for extended periods of time, making them suitable for high vibration or shock application.

This type of Connector is widely used in many electronic devices, from household appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators to telecommunications equipment such as cell phones, routers, and PBX systems. It is also commonly used in computers, as well as in medical and industrial instrumentation. It can be used to connect two circuit boards together, or to attach electronic components to a board.

The 2-104435-0 is an ideal choice for applications requiring a secure and reliable connection. It is easy to install and provides a wide range of electrical connection options. Its robust design makes it particularly suitable for applications where it is subject to shock and vibration, in addition to being an excellent choice for applications requiring high-density connections.
