2-353080-2

2-353080-2 is a standardized rectangular connector defined by the Tyco Electronics (TE Connectivity) industry. This specific connector is a male pin connector used widely in various applications.

Application Field

2-353080-2 can be used for multiple applications, ranging from industrial computer solutions such as switch cards and power supplies to automotive connectors. These connectors are also used in Ethernet and USB cards, and other circuit boards. The 2-353080-2 connector is especially suitable for noisy environments due to its reliable electromechanical connection, which minimizes electrical noise and interference.

Working Principle

The 2-353080-2 connector is designed to be extremely durable and reliable. It is mated with a receptacle, and the connection is sealed with a high-grade strain relief sleeve which protects the mating mechanism from the hostile environment of the application environment. Inside the male connector, there are two brass pins that provide the electrical circuit connectivity.

The receptacle has a latch insert which helps secure the mating process, and helps to prevent accidental disconnection, which is achieved by lowering the pins at an angle to further secure the insertion of the pins in the female connectors. Once the insert is engaged, the pins are then guided into the correct position and securely locked in the female connector.

As the environmental conditions require, the 2-353080-2 can be sealed or non-sealed. Non-sealed versions are capable of resisting water intrusion down to 75 mm H2O, while sealed versions can resist up to 10 mH2O. Both versions are RoHS compliant.

Due to the strong physical design with a durable strain relief, the 2-353080-2 maintains a secure connection and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This makes it suitable for a number of demanding applications where electrical connectors may be subjected to extreme temperatures and hostile environments, like automotive, industrial, and testing applications.

In conclusion, the 2-353080-2 is a versatile and reliable male pin connector that is suitable for a variety of industrial, automotive, and medical applications. It offers a reliable electromechanical connection, while also providing a secure and waterproof sealing solution. Combined with its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, the 2-353080-2 is an ideal choice for any demanding application.
