2-87215-0

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

2-87215-0 connectors are commonly used rectangular connectors that are surrounded by a sealed plastic enclosure for added protection. Specifically, these connectors are different from traditional rectangular connectors due to the presence of male contacts, also known as male pins. Male pins provide a more reliable and more secure connection as compared to female contacts, which rely on the user to ensure a secure fit. Additionally, the male pins on the 2-87215-0 are spring loaded, making it easier to connect the wires and ensuring a more reliable connection.

The 2-87215-0 connectors are typically used in electronic systems and circuits for a variety of applications. This includes power supplies, security systems, and professional audio and video systems. Furthermore, they are often found in systems utilizing Ethernet, USB, or other high-speed signal and data transfer protocols. Finally, the 2-87215-0 connectors are also used in automotive, medical, telecommunication, and aerospace applications due to their ability to cope with extreme temperatures, chemicals, and other external hazards.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 2-87215-0 connectors lies in the male pins within the enclosure. Specifically, when a wire is inserted into the connector, the inserted wire pushes the spring-loaded male pins outwards. This movement of the male pins creates an electrical contact point between the wire and the male pin, thereby allowing electricity to flow through the cable. The spring-loaded nature of the male pins allows them to adapt possible irregularities or irregularities in the hardness of the wire or insertion.

As previously mentioned, the 2-87215-0 connectors provide a reliable connection between the inserted wire and the component being connected due to the presence of the male pins. Additionally, the sealed plastic enclosure helps to protect the electronic components from dust, dirt, and moisture. Finally, the 2-87215-0 connectors also feature a locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection between the wires and the component.

Advantages

The 2-87215-0 connectors provide a variety of advantages when compared to traditional rectangular connectors. Firstly, as previously mentioned, the connectors provide a more reliable connection thanks to the presence of male pins. Furthermore, the incorporated locking mechanism ensures a secure connection, making it possible to work with higher voltage and power requirements. Additionally, the sealed plastic enclosure provides additional protection for the electronic components from dust, dirt, and moisture, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.

In addition to the protection provided, the 2-87215-0 connectors provide excellent electrical insulation. Specifically, the internal volume of the enclosure helps to ensure electrical insulation between the wires and contact points, making them ideal for applications with tight spaces. Finally, the connectors are also relatively inexpensive, making them ideal for applications where cost is an important factor.
