Rectangular connectors are a commonly used connector type, due to their adaptability across a range of applications, covering power, control and signal distribution. The variety of rectangular connectors available include headers, in-line receptacles, panel mount receptacles, female sockets and IDC sockets as key examples. Out of these, the 329-41-151-41-540000 applications field and working principle will be discussed.

Headers

The 329-41-151-41-540000 rectangular connector type is a wire-to-board header, made from a low outgassing and thermal resistant UL94V-0 polyamide material. It offers a locking mating capability between the wire-to-board and through-hole mounting. It is an ideal solution for high-density application, as header configurations provide up to 16 contacts in a single connection. The standard male header pin spacing is 0.1 inches and is designed for use with 22-20 AWG stranded wire assemblies, with a maximum current rating of 3.0 A. The connector is insulated and has a rated voltage of 250VAC.

Receptacles and Female Sockets

A complementary body to the male header pin, the 329-41-151-41-540000 connector type also offers a receptacle and female socket option. The rated voltage of the receptacles is 250VAC, with a current rating of 5.0A, and are conveniently designed for mating with 22-20 AWG stranded wire assemblies, with a maximum temperature rating of 105C. The female socket is similarly designed, and provides a maximum current of 5.0A, with a rated voltage of 250VAC, and a temperature rating of 105C. All variants are designed for mating with male headers.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 329-41-151-41-540000 rectangular connector type is based upon simple mating between the male header pin and the cavities in the receptacle. The male header pin is pressed firmly into the mating cavity, ensuring a secure fit between the two. If the female socket or receptacle is used, the mating process is reversed, with the header pin being inserted into the female socket, or mated in the corresponding cavity of the receptacle.

Protection from EMI/RFI Signals

The 329-41-151-41-540000 rectangular connector type also provides protection from environment noise contamination, such as EMI/RFI signals, that can cause interference and system failure. For extra protection, the male header pins are protected in recessed sockets, with a foam insulation that prevents the pins from short-circuiting and damage, while still ensuring the secure interconnection between the pins and sockets. This ensures reliable systems operation with minimal interference.

Application Field

The 329-41-151-41-540000 rectangular connector type offers a variety of application areas. It is ideal for heavy-duty and industrial applications, such as control cabinets, power supplies, machine building, electronic controls, process control, or instrumentation. It also suits telecoms, broadcast and test equipment applications, as well as smart home and home automation. As such, it is highly adaptable across multiple industries and applications.

Conclusion

The 329-41-151-41-5400 is a versatile rectangular connector type that provides protection from EMI/RFI signals, making it suitable for a variety of applications in industries such as control cabinets, power supplies, telecoms and broadcast. Furthermore, it has a thermal rating up to 105C and an insulation rating of 250VAC, providing a long-lasting, reliable connection.
