1761685-4

1761685-4 headers and male pins are rectangular connectors commonly used in the industrial, automotive and consumer electronics segments. The headers, which are loaded with contacts, are the mating half of the connector system and they are typically used in paired with either single sided or double sided male pins. Together, they offer a reliable and durable electrical interconnection.

1761685-4 rectangular connectors are often used for power, signal, data and drive applications, and they feature a minimum pitch of 0.050 inch and a maximum current rating of 4.5A. The headers are typically loaded with contacts that have a 12.5 amperes (Amb) rating, although different levels of current capacities and characteristics are available. They come in a variety of sizes, such as 2.54 mm, 3.96 mm, 4.2 mm and 5.08 mm, and can be found in both through hole and surface mount versions.

Applications of 1761685-4 headers and male pins are quite varied. They can be used for a variety of electrical connection purposes, including power, signal or data in different industries and disciplines. They are particularly well-suited for applications requiring high-density connections, such as computers, telecommunications, consumer electronics, power distribution, motor control and many more.

The working principle of 1761685-4 headers and male pins lies in their “twin-beam” contact system which allows both the header and an inserted male pin to make electrical contact. The twin beam contact system is based on two contact points within each header contact chamber, and they work together to ensure constant contact between the header and the male pin. This contact principle is designed to ensure reliable electrical connections, and provides a mechanical secure connection that is shock and vibration resistant.

1761685-4 headers and male pins provide reliable and robust electrical connections, and are suitable for a variety of industrial, automotive and consumer electronics applications. Their twin beam contact system ensures a secure connection that is shock and vibration resistant, allowing for high-density connections in a wide range of industries and disciplines.
