Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets comprise of the most common type of electrical connectors due to their relatively low cost and more efficient mating features. The 104196-2 design is part of this family and is a four-position, solderless connector, recommended for a wide range of applications including instrumentation, test equipment, and medical equipment.

The design of the 104196-2 allows it to be mated and un-mated with a standard screwdriver, making it ideal for applications where frequent mate/un-mate cycles are expected. The design also makes it suitable for applications in potentially hazardous environments, where extremely reinforced vibration or shock forces may be experienced.

Overall, the 104196-2 has a robust design and serves its purpose to interconnect electrical circuitry efficiently and reliably. Therefore, it is commonly used in applications such as automotive, industrial, and military, which require the highest level of performance.

The working principle behind the 104196-2 rectangular connector is relatively simple. It consists of two basic components, namely a header and a receptacle, which serve as the male and the female counterparts of the connector. Each has a set of contacts called pins, sockets, and/or pins & sockets which, when mated, transfer electric current through the circuit.

When the connector is mated, the pins and sockets firmly press against each other, thereby creating a water-tight seal. This allows the connector to function under harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and vibration/shock forces. Internally, the contacts ride on a thin layer of lubricating fluid to ensure a smooth and reliable connection.

In addition to the above, the design of the 104196-2 also helps to minimize crosstalk between adjacent and/or neighboring circuits, which is commonly observed when using other types of connectors. This is due to the fact that, when mated, contact surfaces are held in place by a pair of steel pins, which helps to ensure a secure and waterproof connection.

The 104196-2 connectors are appreciated by customers for their reliability, robust design, and versatility. Hence, the connector is preferred in applications such as particle accelerators, satellite communications, radar systems, aerospace vehicles, and heavy industrial equipment.

The robust design and versatility of the 104196-2 make it a popular choice amongst designers and engineers alike. It is available in a wide variety of sizes and configurations, and can be used for a variety of applications. When comparing it to other types of connectors, the 104196-2 stands out due to its low cost and more efficient design.
