281279-2

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are utilized to fasten two circuits together. The 281279-2 connector is a standard connector in this segment, and it has a number of qualities that make it a preferred option for many applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 281279-2 connector.

Product Overview

The 281279-2 connector is a two-pin female header with a 0.2mm pitch connector body which is designed to fit off-board wire, insulated or non-insulated wire, or mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). It is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective connector that is easy to assemble. It is well-suited for applications that require low pin counts and current ratings up to 1.5A. The 281279-2 connector is constructed from Phosphor Bronze contacts and plastic housing. The contact and housing material meets UL and CSA standards.

Applications

The 281279-2 connector is often used in a range of applications, such as in communication systems, computers, consumer electronics, office automation equipment, sensors, industrial controllers, LED lighting and automotive control systems. It is an ideal choice for prototyping, board-level to cable-level connections, data and signal transfer, voltage and current sensing, power conversion, and load controls.

Working Principle

The 281279-2 connector is used to connect a circuit with a wire by inserting the wire into the female header. The contacts of the female header make contact with the wire and establish a connection. The current passes from the male pin, through the connector, and to the wire. The wire is also held in place via spring loaded clips. When the wire is removed, the clip retracts to its original position and the connection is broken.

Conclusion

The 281279-2 connector is a two-pin female header with a 0.2mm pitch, designed to fit off-board wire, insulated or non-insulated wire, or mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). It is a highly reliable and cost-effective connector that is easy to assemble. The connector is suitable for a wide range of applications, including communication systems, computers, consumer electronics, and automotive control systems. It is also used to connect a circuit with a wire by inserting the wire into the female header. The contacts of the female header make contact with the wire and establish the connection.
