1734827-8

Rectangular connectors, or headers, come in male and female pin variants. 1734827-8 is a type of male pin rectangular connector that is used to join two wires or a pair of cables, to transfer data and power. It is able to be used with 22 awg to 18 awg wires and is available in a variety of contact pin configurations.

1734827-8 headers are designed for reliable application in harsh environments, such as industrial and automotive applications. The header has silver-plated crimp contacts, which ensure a good electrical connection and enhanced reliability. The contacts are also insulated, and the housing is made from a high-strength plastic material. These features ensure that the male pins are able to withstand hot and cold temperature fluctuations, exposure to water, dust, and chemicals.

In addition to having high electrical and mechanical reliability, 1734827-8 headers also provide design flexibility. The header is available in a wide range of contact pin counts and materials of construction. This includes a choice of either tin or gold plated pins, as well as screw, low profile (LPA) and crimp contact pin variants. The housing also comes in a range of colors, which make it easier to color-code signals and wiring.

The working principle of 1734827-8 male pin connectors is straightforward. When the housing is connected to two wires or cables, the male pin contacts make an electrical connection between the two. This then allows the transfer of electrical signals, power, or data between the two respective sides. Additionally, mechanical support is provided by the material of construction of the housing, which ensures reliable connection and prevents electrical and mechanical faults.

Overall, 1734827-8 male pin headers provide reliable electrical and mechanical connections for a variety of systems. Combined with the design flexibility offered, this makes the header a great choice for any application where the transfer of data, power, or signals are required.
