Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

0791077253 or MULTI-BEAM is a type of circular connector for use in pushing and mating rectangular pins. This particular multicon connector offers a wide range of applications for a variety of industries, including computer, consumer, automotive, and telecommunications. The MULTI-BEAM series features two types of rectangular contacts - ST and BTS. ST is a single-level locking type contact for use in high-density and small-sized modules while BTS has a double-sided locking type contact.

Application Fields

MULTI-BEAM connectors can be applied in a variety of ways including high-speed data, power, signal, and automotive applications. The low profile, robust design, and superior electrical performance make this type of connector ideal for a wide array of applications. It is especially well-suited for automotive applications, thanks to its wide temperature range of -40°C / +85°C and its high current carrying capacity of up to 9A. Additionally, its low profile design reduces the chance for shock and vibration damage.

Working Principle

The MULTI-BEAM series uses spring probes to ensure dependable and consistent connections between the mating halves. These probes are designed to allow an overall stacking height of just 2.5 mm while guaranteeing reliable connections and secure mate-ability between the connector halves. The probes also have improved scratch and impact protection to ensure reliable connections due to their robust design.

The connector has four locking points (top and bottom) that securely mate the two halves of the connector together. The top and bottom locking points are bent outwards, allowing for easy and secure mating. The two locking points in the center of the connector have a thinner design to create a solid connection with improved vibration resistance.

The connectors feature an anti-reversal mechanism that prevents the two mating parts from becoming detached due to vibration or an accidental shock. An overmold is also present to provide improved strain relief in order to protect against excessive pull force from the connecting cable.

Finally, the connector features shake-proof construction to ensure a solid and reliable connection even in harsh operating environments. The robust construction and superior electrical performance makes this type of connector perfect for a variety of applications that require reliable high-speed performance.
