104076-8

The 104076-8 is an 8-pin rectangular connector from the header, male pin family of connectors. Such type of connectors are commonly used to establish a connection between the equipment and the circuit board. It includes both a plug and a receptacle. The plug can be mated and unmated easily, making this connector particularly suitable for rapid wiring and maintenance work. The 104076-8 connector has some features that make it stand out within its connector family.

The 104076-8 connector has a strong and rugged design that makes it very durable and resistant to vibration, corrosion and wear. It also has a latch lock design that provides reliable and secure connections between the plug and receptacle. Furthermore, the connector has a shrouded design that provides protection to the connection points within the connector from dust and moisture. The connector is also designed to accommodate a wide range of wire gauges, making it ideal for use with almost any type of cable.

The 104076-8 connector has two types of working principles. The first is known as the dry contact method which is based on two metal surfaces contacting each other while the other is based on a metal spring action. In the dry contact method, the two metal surfaces press against each other, creating a low resistance path for the current to flow. At the same time, the pressure also helps to maintain the connection by preventing any physical separation or deformation of the wires. On the other hand, the metal spring action provides a more reliable and rigid connection between the plug and receptacle. In this method, the plug and receptacle each come with their individual spring contact pins which spring into contact when inserted into each other.

The 104076-8 connector also has some additional features that set it apart from other connectors in the family. First, this type of connector has an anti-abrasion mechanism that prevents internal wires from becoming worn or damaged. Additionally, it also allows for multiple mating without having to break and re-establish the connection. Lastly, a high speed transfer rate is supported, allowing for fast and reliable communication between various devices.

The 104076-8 connector is used in a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in industrial equipment, medical systems, aerospace equipment, and communications systems. Furthermore, it can be used in automotive, lighting, and surveillance systems. Additionally, it is also used in applications such as drilling and other operations which require secure and reliable wire connections.

In conclusion, the 104076-8 connector is a very versatile and reliable rectangular connector from the header, male pin family. Its rugged design and reliable contact methods make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. Furthermore, its additional features such as anti-abrasion and high speed transfer give it a distinct advantage over other connectors in its family.
