Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 2-1734026-2 Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

2-1734026-2 is a type of rectangular connectors with headers and male pins which is widely applied for electronic products and industrial automation. It’s connector element of an electrical or electronic device or circuit. It provides a mechanical and electrical connection between the two independent and electrically isolated systems, allowing signal and power transmission, such as data or voltage.

Application Field

2-1734026-2 provides a robust and reliable connectivity in many applications, including industrial automation, data and communications, broadcasting, instrumentation, medical, power supplies, automation, traffic, etc. Connector families in this series include multi-level, surface-mount, detent receptacle, standard, slim and Zigbee/IoT. In recent years, manufacturers have developed a number of ‘intelligent’ connectors, such as connectors with built-in microprocessors, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and data logging.

Working Principle

2-1734026-2 can be used as both signal transmission system and power supply system. In the latter system, the exposed pin end is connected to the other element using a power voltage, which can be DC or AC. The voltage is provided by a power supply, usually a transformer. When the voltage is applied to the contact, a current is created, and the voltage is passed on from the connector to the other system or component. In signal transmission system, two or more separate components of the electronics device are connected by the contact between the pins and headers, which is in the connector.

Usually, one device used as the signal receiver and the other used as the signal transmitter. A signal is sent from the transmitter to the receiver through the connector. The signals coming from the transmitter pass through the pins and headers, and are then translated on the opposite side. When the signal is received, a response is sent back across the same pins. In this kind of system, the contacts between the pins and the headers are designed to be as low resistance as possible so that there won’t be any interference or distortion of the signal.

Conclusion

2-1734026-2 is a type of rectangular connectors which is widely applied for electronic products and industrial automation. It provides reliable connections in numerous applications, from industrial automation to medical, and it comes with built-in microprocessors, RFID technology and data logging as well. It can be used as both signal transmission system and power supply system. It’s connector element of an electric device or circuit, allowing signal and power transmission, such as data or voltage.
