2-292173-9

Rectangular connectors, or commonly known as headers, male pins, are primarily used to join two or more wires together and they are generally used for electrical interconnection purposes. The headers are most commonly used in the automotive industry, aerospace, industrial applications, computers, communications, consumer electronics, medical equipment, instrumentation, etc. The use of headers can be categorized into two types, namely male and female.

The 2-292173-9 is a type of header, male pin which is used in many applications. It has a pitch of 0.75” (19mm) and is a right angle connector with a locking pin. It is an 8-contact, 8-way 2.0mm straight header that accepts 3.96mm Crimp Terminal contacts. The inside contact pitches are arranged in a staggered pattern for even greater stability when mated to its mating portion. The 2-292173-9 is available in either the Dual Beam or Tri-Beam configuration.

The most typically application for a Male PIN 2-292173-9 header is as an interfacing device between two microprocessors. This type of header is designed to allow data to be transferred from one processor to the other. When used in this purpose, the headers must be able to handle high speed transfers as well as low voltage signals. Additionally, they are often used for power connections between components in the circuit. The use of these types of headers is very important in ensuring that the power supplied to the components is regulated and behaves as expected throughout the circuit.

The working principle of the 2-292173-9 header is fairly straightforward. When the header is mated to its mating component, the contacts on the male and female ends are briefly pressed together. This brief moment of contact enables the electrical signals within the circuit to travel between the two components. The female portion is made of an insulating material that prevents accidental or intentional electrical contact while the male end is made of a conducting material that allows the electrical charge to move freely.

The use of headers, Male pins, such as the 2-292173-9 can be seen in almost any and all applications today. This is because they are very reliable, easy to install, and provide excellent data transfer speeds. Furthermore, their use is not limited to the automotive, aerospace, industrial, computer, communications, consumer electronics, medical equipment, instrumentation, and other industries; they are used in many home applications as well. Additionally, they are available in a variety of configurations and sizes to accommodate the needs of every application.
