0038001398 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular connectors are frequently used in the past for electrical applications due to their reliable contact system, low cost, as well as their small size and compactness. The 0038001398 is a family of rectangular connectors that can be used in the most common connection methods, such as shielded and unshielded, and supports both signal and power applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 0038001398 rectangular connectors.

Application Field

The 0038001398 rectangular connector family includes headers, receptacles, female sockets, and other components, which are all rated for current of up to 6 Amp. These connectors are typically used in power and signal applications, such as consumer, commercial, and automotive electronics, as well as for a range of industrial and medical applications. The 0038001398 connectors are also ideal for applications where traditional DIN 7/16 connectors can not satisfy the requirements of for space-saving, cost-effectiveness and reliability.

Working Principle

The 0038001398 rectangular connectors have a simple but reliable contact system wherein the receptacles mate with staggered pins to ensure precise mating and stable electrical connection. The pinpoint contact points are constructed of high-quality beryllium copper, which has increased contact durability and resistivity. The housings are available in robust yet lightweight black or yellow plastic.A die-cast zinc alloy or nickel plated finish ensures improved corrosion resistance to further enhance the durability of the connectors. The through holes have screw threads which allow them to accommodate M2.5 or M3 screws for secure fixing.

Conclusion

The 0038001398 rectangular connectors offer reliable electrical connection and are suitable for a wide array of applications. Their small form factor and durable construction make them a great choice for cost-conscious applications where space is a premium. As such, they are often used in consumer, commercial, and automotive electronics as well as in industrial and medical applications.
