316-41-161-41-001000

Rectangular connectors are versatile, electrical connection devices used in a variety of industries. They are designed to provide power or data transmission paths through two mating connectors, which are either plugged into one another (in the case of board-to-board connections) or coupled together mechanically (in the case of wire-to-board connections).

The 316-41-161-41-001000 is a rectangular connector header. Its standard contact arrangement includes 16 straight pins, all on the same side. It also has a shrouded design and is suitable for both through hole and surface mount configurations. This connector is made from a high-temperature thermoplastic UL 94V-0 rated material.

The 316-41-161-41-001000 connector header is mainly used in electrical and electronic applications, such as in power supplies, computers, audio/video equipment, automotive, household appliances, telecommunications, and medical devices. It is designed to provide power and data pathways between two mating connectors.

Working Principle

The 316-41-161-41-001000 connector header consists of two mating components. The first component is the female socket, which is the push-on type. A pair of mating contact elements on the female socket engage the contact elements on the male plug when the two components are connected. The second component is the male plug, which is the pull-on type. It contains two contact elements that are inserted into the female socket when the connector is mated.

The connection between the two is made when the contact elements of the male plug slide into the mating contact elements of the female socket. The connection is completed and provides a secure connection when the pins are firmly secured by the latch on the female side. This ensures that the electrical connection is reliable and the transmission path between the two components is maintained.

The 316-41-161-41-001000 connector provides a reliable and secure connection that can be used in a variety of applications. It is durable and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh environments.
