2-146255-8 Connectors, Interconnects

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, are devices that help to establish an electrical connection between two components. Specifically, they are built to connect a wire or cable to a printed circuit board (PCB) or to another cable. The 2-146255-8 is a type of rectangular connector that consists of a plastic body which mounts two rows of card edge connector pins that make contact with a PCB.

The application field of the 2-146255-8 rectangular connectors is broad since they are compact, reliable, and carry a high voltage and current rating, allowing them to be used in a variety of situations. Firstly, due to the current rating, they can be used in high power applications, such as lighting fixtures, CCTV cameras, and even audio amplifiers. Secondly, they are also widely used in less demanding applications, like the connection between a computer and a printer. Furthermore, they are also used in automotive systems for the connection between the car elements.

In addition, the 2-146255-8 male pin connectors also have different types of contact—gauge, blade, and so on. So, they can be used for different types of signal transmission, depending on the application—for instance, power transmission, data transmission, or analog transmission. This flexibility makes them a widely used and preferable type of connector in many industries.

The working principle of the 2-146255-8 rectangular connectors is simple. It involves the simple physical and electrical connection between two components. The physical connection of the male pin connector is established by inserting the card edge connector pin into the PCB or by soldering it into place. Electrical connection is then established by the connection of the pin to the PCB, which allows current to flow from one element to the other. The card edge connector pin, on its side, will also make contact with other components, allowing for current flow and communication.

These male pin connectors are built to stand the tough environmental conditions, as well as vibrations and shocks. In addition, the card edge connector pin is designed with a lock, so it is securely held onto the PCB and they are also designed to have a good contact with a minimum amount of force. All these features make the 2-146255-8 rectangular connectors a reliable and versatile solution for many applications.

In conclusion, the 2-146255-8 rectangular connectors are used across many applications due to their versatility, high-current rating, and reliability in extreme conditions. They are the perfect solution for many applications that require an electric connection between two elements. Additionally, they are simple to use as the physical and electrical connection is easily established with just one card edge connector pin, secured by a lock.
