2-146257-0

A 2-146257-0 rectangular connector, commonly referred to as a header, is a type of mechanical electrical connector that has two rows of electrical contacts for quick connectivity. The header helps protect the contacts, offers physical strength for mounting and works to make high-speed electrical connections. Adapters, cables and other components such as backplanes, PCBs, or modules can connect to the header. This type of connector is commonly used in industrial control applications, medical diagnostic testing, telecommunications, and wireless and digital communication.

The 2-146257-0 header is a standard version of this type of connector that has two rows of contact pins coming from a rectangular housing. This particular connector has a total of 13 pairs of male pins that have a 2.54mm (0.1in.) pitch with gold plating. The headers are soldered directly onto a printed circuit board, but can also be used with a wire-to-board cable assembly or another type of mating connector, such as a socket. The socket connection methods also include quick disconnect, crimp, cup, or IDC. This type of connector can also come with shrouded or unshrouded design.

The 2-146257-0 header’s working principles involve making electrical connections between two or more components. The pins are inserted into the corresponding socket, or female connector, and electrical current passes through the connection. This is done by the pins making a physical connection with the points in the female connector. This type of connection makes sure the connection is protected and the flow of current is consistent. The electrical connection is protected unless the pins are disconnected, then current will not flow.

The pins themselves are thin metal pieces with a particular coating on them, such as gold or silver, that help make sure electrical connections are secure and reliable. The gold-plated pins of 2-146257-0 headers create a low-resistance connection, meaning electrical current is able to pass through the connection with less loss or interruption. The contacts of the pins are generally made from copper or steel alloy and feature plating, such as tin or selective gold on the entire pin. The advantages of using gold-plated pins is that they are extremely durable and do not corrode, providing a higher number of mating cycles.

In order to guarantee the reliability and durability of the connection, the 2-146257-0 connector has a high degree of resistance to shock, vibrations, and other environmental factors. The pins and corresponding socket housing are designed to protect against dust, dirt, and other contaminants that might hinder the connector. Although this particular connector is rated for 13A maximum current rating and 125V maximum working voltage, connectors can be designed to support higher currents, potentially depending on the application they’re being used in.
