Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, are electrical connectors that have several pins extending from the Rectangular Connector housing in an array. They are sometimes referred to as “pin headers” and are mainly used in audio, data, and power applications. They are commonly used in electronic assemblies, as they provide a stable connection that will not loosen like traditional hand-terminal connectors.

151214-8422-TB connectors are designed for horizontal installation in chassis or panel boards. They have two rows of pins with spacing between rows of 2.54 mm. The common size is 2.54 x 5.08 mm and is available in 2, 5, 7, 10 or 14 rows with a variety of plating materials and resistivity ratings. All pins are bifurcated to provide increased contact area at the termination point.

The working principle of the 151214-8422-TB connector is simple yet effective. It consists of two plastic housings and a pair of longitudinally mounted pins which are held in place by a special retention plate. The pins are then pressed into place and when the wire is inserted, it makes contact with the pins. This creates a secure connection and prevents wires from being pulled out. The pins are often protected by a cover which slides into the housing from the rear.

The 151214-8422-TB connectors are used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, computers, cell phones, LCD monitors, modems, routers, and other electronic devices. They are especially useful for making connections between larger printed circuit boards and smaller ones, or between surface mount components and PCBs. These connectors can also be used in automotive applications, such as to connect car stereos to speaker amplifiers.

151214-8422-TB connector housings are designed for easy assembly and disassembly and can be cut to length for a customized fit. They are available with various plating materials including gold, nickel, silver, or tin, and can be ordered with optional mounting hardware.

In summary, the 151214-8422-TB connector is an important building block in the electronics industry. It provides a secure and reliable connection between two pieces of equipment while being easy to assemble. It is used in a variety of applications and is a cost-effective solution for making solid electrical connections.
