1-147324-4

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, collectively referred to as 147324-4, are versatile electrical connectors used in the electronic and electrical industry. These connectors are used to join cables in a variety of applications, including but not limited to automotive, industrial, and medical. Depending on the application, the connectors may be used in AC or DC circuits, and have different termination methods such as screw, pin, or connectorized. The connecting pins provide excellent electrical contact for reliable signal transmission or power connection, and maintain a secure connection to ensure safety.

1. Application Fields and Working Principle

When used in connection of printed circuit board (PCB) to cables, 147324-4 connectors provide reliable transmission of electrical signals and power. They are suitable for modular, distributed, and space-critical applications while maintaining a secure yet cost-effective connection. In addition, these connectors are compatible with a variety of cables, including simple or shielded, flex or rigid.

147324-4 connectors are designed to provide a secure two-way connection between a cable and a PCB or other electronic device, along with a secure electrical and mechanical connection between the two. As the name suggests, these connectors typically consist of a header (or base) that will be soldered to the PCB and male pins that are inserted into the opposite side. The header and pins are both constructed from high-grade material, such as brass, to ensure a reliable connection. In addition, the header is equipped with both a scoop-proof and a latch-proof feature to further guarantee a secure connection.

For applications that require a quick disconnection and reconnection of cables without an additional power source, the latching feature can be used to physically secure the connection between the header and the pins. This latching feature ensures that the connection is maintained even if there is an impact on the cable, such as vibration during use. However, this latching feature may not be necessary for low-powered applications, where the connection can be maintained without it.

To further guarantee a reliable connection, these connectors are equipped with a high-insertion-force compliant contact. This feature ensures that the male pins are securely and robustly inserted into the header, providing an electrical connection that is largely resistant to shock and vibration. It also provides a guarantee of secure and reliable connection during use.

2. Benefits of Using 147324-4 Connectors

By using 147324-4 connectors in applications where cables need to be connected and disconnected, there are numerous advantages. These include improved flexibility, simplified maintenance, improved reliability, space saving, and cost savings.

Using 147324-4 connectors for cable connections eliminates the need for welding or soldering, saving both time and cost. In addition, the connectors are designed to provide a secure electrical connection while also providing a robust mechanical fit. This helps eliminate incorrect connections, reduce damage to the equipment, and reduce the risk of fire due to incorrectly connected wires.

The compact design of these connectors also helps to save space, which can be especially beneficial for applications where space is restricted. In addition, by using connectors that can be quickly linked and unlinked, maintenance and repairs can be done quickly and without downtime. This simplifies the replacement of broken components and repairs.

In summary, 147324-4 connectors provide a secure electrical and mechanical connection that is reliable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain and repair. They are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including AC and DC circuits, and have different termination methods such as screw, pin, or connectorized.
