2-794635-2

2-794635-2 Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are a common choice for interconnections which need compact size, reliable electrical performance, and inline assembly. It is most often used with SMT (Surface Mount Technology) mounted printed circuit boards (PCBs). The connector, as the name implies, comes with both male and female headers that screw together. It is mainly used where cost is not a primary factor and space savings is a significant factor.

The 2-794635-2 is typically used in low-voltage applications, where a less robust connector is acceptable. This type of connector is most commonly used in the industrial, medical, aerospace, and automotive industries for applications such as relays, switches, and contactors. It is also used in high-speed communications, broadcasting, and digital circuitry as well as for electronic instruments.

The 2-794635-2 rectangular connector consists of two parts, the header and the pin. The header is inserted into the printed circuit board. The pin is soldered to the header. A small spring clip on the end of the pin locks into the header, locking the connector into place and providing mechanical stability. The 2-794635-2 is designed to provide low-resistance connection between the two parts. When the connector is mated, the contact pressure pushes the two parts together, ensuring a reliable electrical connection. This method improves the electrical connection, reduces contact corrosion, and increases the life of the connection.

The advantages of the 2-794635-2 over conventional connectors include its small size, reduced price, and increased reliability. Its small size makes it ideal for applications where space is at a premium. The lower cost of production is due to the elimination of soldering, reducing production costs. The reliability of the connection is further increased due to the stronger contact pressure between the parts. This type of connector is also quick and easy to assemble, making it an ideal choice for use in production line applications.

However, the 2-794635-2 connector is not suitable for applications that require more robust and reliable connections. It is also incapable of carrying higher voltage and current, making it unsuitable for high-voltage applications. The design of the 2-794635-2 also leaves it vulnerable to dust and dirt that can get between the two parts and degrade the contact.

In conclusion, the 2-794635-2 Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are a great choice for applications in the industrial, medical, aerospace, and automotive industries that need a small size and good electrical performance. It is cost effective and easy to assemble. Although it has some disadvantages, such as being vulnerable to dust and dirt, it is still a reliable choice in many different types of applications.
