Connectors play an important role in the electronics industry. They provide electrical connectivity between devices, boards, and systems. Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins is one type of connectors in which 98401-102-18 is a model of it. This article aims to introduce the 98401-102-18 application field and working principle.

98401-102-18 is a rectangular headers connector, also called Ribbon Cable Connector, which mainly used for atatched a cable. It is with a 1 x 2x3 row female pins configuration. An example of such connector is seen in Figure 1.

The 98401-102-18 is made of phosphor-bronze, gold-plated contact which is compliant with the RoHS directive. It has an insulating material of thermoplastic UL 94V-0. It is configurable in different mating heights and covers all current standards in the market. This connector is a popular alternative for reducing the risk of cross-connection when replacing cables and panels.

The 98401-102-18 has a recommended maximum current rate of 1A. Voltage insulation is 250V. Pin length should be 1.2mm and the distance between pins should be 1.27mm. It has a nominal cable wide of 2.54mm and a nominal row spacing of 5.08mm. The pitch is a key factor of this connector, since it enables a secure and robust connection between the contacts and the board. This makes the connection more reliable, and minimizes the possibility of damage or failure caused by vibration, shock or temperature changes.

Regarding typical applications, the 98401-102-18 is commonly used in telecommunications, consumer electronics, computing, medical electronics, aerospace and defense, industrial automation, smart cars, as well as a variety of other fields. It’s easily installed and provides an uncomplicated but secure connection for all kinds of cables.

As to the working principle, the 98401-102-18 is a simple but effective connector. It has two mating parts — a male head with pins and a female head with sockets. The male and female parts should be aligned to each other, so that the pins can accurately connect to the sockets. When the pins of the male head are inserted into the sockets of the female head, electrical signals must flow through both parts and the connection is established.

To summarize, the 98401-102-18 is a type of rectangular connectors, also called headers and male pins. It has a wide array of applications in different industries. Its simple but effective design enables a secure and reliable connection between the pins and sockets. It is widely popular for providing an uncomplicated yet secure connection for many kinds of cables.
