147384-5

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets include connector products, such as board-to-board connectors, box and panel connectors, cable to board connectors, board guides, flat ribbon and FPC/FFC connectors, fuse holders and flat pin headers. Among these various connectors, 147384-5 application field and working principle belongs to flat pin header connector.

Flat pin headers (147384-5) are terminated with male pins which with standing current as high as 5A. The flat pin header connector is widely used for signal transmission and has fast lock and easy assembly. As the pins of the flat pin header connector are arranged in a row, the height of the flat pin header connector is generally lower than that of other types of connectors. The flat pin header connector allows for easy connection of printed circuit boards, and is provided with self-locking pins for secure connections. Furthermore, the flat pin header connector allows for plugging/unplugging even multiple times without causing damage to the pins.

Flat pin header connector includes two parts, the male pin and the female portion. For 147384-5, the female portion includes two areas, each with 20 positions. Each position of the female portion is provided with a female contact housing. Each female contact housing is provided with a metal contact and a plastic plunger. The metal contact has two fingers to ensure secure contact. The plastic plunger has high mechanical strength and insulation properties. The male pin of 147384-5 includes 40 pins in total, each pin has a round head and a flat tip. On the side of the round head of the pin, there are two insulating slits to ensure the durability of the pin.

The working principle of 147384-5 is based on the standard flat pin header connector interface design. In the receptacle connector, the metal contact is fixed on the plastic base with two protruding hooks and the metal touches its connecting mate on the pin header. When the pin header is inserted, the plastic plunger is pushed down and the metal contact is pushed against its mate on the pin producing a reliable electric connection. The inner shell locks the knob automatically to prevent from plugging out. Also, the pins have a good polarizing effect. The flat pin header connector can transmit digital signals reliably and accurately, as they are designed to prevent misalignment, which is critical for signals transmission.

In summary, Flat pin header (147384-5) has high current rating ,low height, and easy to plug/unplug, etc. With its reliable electric connection and polarizing effect, flat pin header (147384-5) is widely used in electronic device fields such as computer and communication, industry automation, medical equipment and automotive industry, etc.
